New Google Local Ads for franchisees


What makes Google Local Ads so effective?
Google Local Ads are specifically aimed at multi-location businesses with the goal of driving more foot traffic to stores. This is achieved through a wide range of targeting options, including user device types, customer search queries/history and distance around location to name a few.

What are the benefits of Google Local Ads for multi-locations and franchised brands?
- Drive foot traffic by optimising ads for local call-to-actions, such as navigation and calls.
- Reach customers across multiple channels including Google Search, Google Maps, Google Display, YouTube and more.
- Simple and easy to scale - fully automated solution which uses machine learning to optimize your bids, creative and ad placements.
- Get more calls, store visits and website traffic
- Relevance - ads are shown to users within 5km of a physical store
Local Ads campaigns showcase your business across Google, including new branded pins and Google Maps ads

Consumers have become hyper-local due to Covid, wanting to support their community more than ever. This was also found in the results of our recent Local Landscape Survey where 81% of participants said they prefer interacting with a business on a local level rather than the brand head office.
The Social Places Media Team can help make the most of these data driven local campaigns by providing in-depth reporting and analysis.
Enhance your Google strategy and get more foot traffic to your locations today!
