If you have a brick and mortar business and you’re running a special offer or a promotion, you can use Google Ads to drive traffic to your local store. By using a “Local Campaign” in Google Ads, you can promote Google Maps listings and track conversions every time someone looks up the driving directions to your store or shares the location with a friend. Here’s what you need to do: Update Update your Google My Business account first. This includes updating information like: Your cover picture and mention the promotion so people can see the sponsored listing in Google Maps. Your GMB listing. Add imagery, maps, hours, phone numbers, and relevant links. Optimize Talk about your promotion in your ad copy and extension. Set your keyword targeting to anything around your main keyword (e.g. if you’re selling shoes, keyword target should be “shoes”) A few things to remember This campaign tracks conversions differently than the rest of the campaign, which means it will skew the average ROAS for the overall account. Since the local campaign has its own separate budget, it will make the ROAS look lower than it really is. But don’t be alarmed. This simply means that the campaign is spending the ad budget without bringing in conversion value that Google Ads knows about. So our team has to calculate the ROAS manually. Here’s how we do it: ROAS = conversion value / the total cost from all the other campaigns For more information on how How To Use Local Campaigns in Google Ads, check out this video:
