Changing your daily budget for your Local Ads will impact how many people you can reach nearby.
We pay Google every time someone engages with (or clicks) on one of your products to show they are interested in it, so a larger budget means your products can be found by more people on any given day.
Your daily budget (selected from your MyShop dashboard) dictates how many people searching in Google near your store we can show your products to.
Taking advantage of our flexible Local Ads plans means you are able to chop and change your budget for any location as you please, to enhance an already strong performing location, boost a weaker performer, or turn ads on and off to promote products depending on the seasonality of your store.
The number of people you can reach with a certain budget will be unique to your store.
This is because people search for different products in different locations in different ways. We can provide an estimate of what your shop would achieve at different daily budgets.
Depending on how people are searching near your store, you might find a natural limit on how many people you can reach.
As only so many people search for products near your store on a given day, if you select a daily budget that turns out to be higher than the maximum we can use, we will let you know and recommend a reduced plan.
