## Resource

Lucas and Luna explore how Google Ads local campaigns use location extensions, store visit conversions, and local inventory ads to drive foot traffic in 2026. They break down a real-world case: a mid-sized coffee chain that used local campaigns to increase store visits by 22% quarter-over-quarter while keeping cost-per-visit under $1.50. The hosts discuss how machine learning optimizes bids based on distance and likelihood to visit, the role of local ad extensions, and why retail marketers should prioritize store-level conversion tracking. They also cover pitfalls like over-aggressive radius targeting and the importance of updating business hours regularly. Perfect for PPC managers and local business owners looking to bridge online ads with offline sales. #GoogleAds #LocalCampaigns #StoreTraffic #PPC #PaidSearch #LocalMarketing #Retail #FootTraffic #LocationExtensions #StoreVisits #LocalInventoryAds #MachineLearning #AdExtensions #ConversionTracking #Marketing #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #DigitalAdvertising Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
