What are Google local campaigns?
Local campaigns are Google ad campaigns designed to provide potential customers with the information they need to decide when and how to visit shops. They streamline the process, making it easy to promote shops on Google’s most prominent inventory: the Search Network, Maps, YouTube, Gmail and the Display Network.
Google Local campaigns are optimised to find the right people, reaching consumers with the highest potential to visit a business. They are triggered at the right time based on user intent, distance to a venue, local searches, map searches, etc.
They employ the right message and use standard creatives optimised to drive traffic to an establishment.
