Local Inventory Ads show up in Google search results when nearby shoppers search for a product you stock, helping them see just how easy it is to buy nearby.
Clicking on your ad takes them directly to your Google Storefront, and makes it super easy for them to take action and visit your store.
We provide lots of different information about how your ads are performing, but there are five key numbers you'll see most often. We've summarised below how these help you understand the impact your ads are having on your business.
Impressions
Customers searching for products you stock near your store see your items and shop name in Google, so they know it’s in stock locally. These are “Impressions”.
Clicks
Some of these customers show an interest in one of your products and click on it to find out more about the item and your store. Here they can see full product details, information about your shop and several prominent call-to-action. This is a "Click”.
Estimated In-store Customers
We estimate that 1 in 7 people who click on these ads visit your store, based on historical Google Local Inventory ads data.
Phone calls, map clicks and website visits
We also show you how many phone calls, map clicks and website visits you get from running your ads.
