AI Google Ads for Local Businesses

Local Service Ads with video assets get more profile views and direction requests. Video shows your business personality, atmosphere, and services in ways static images cannot. A 15-second clip of your restaurant ambiance, gym facility, or salon team builds the trust that drives first-time visits from Google Search and Maps.

Performance Max for store goals distributes your ads across Google Search, Maps, Display, YouTube, Gmail, and Discover — all with a single campaign. You provide video, images, text, and a store location, and Google's AI serves the right combination to each user. For local businesses, PMax is the most efficient way to reach customers across Google's entire network.

Most local businesses see results starting at $500-1,500/month on Google Ads. Performance Max for store goals is often the best starting campaign because it optimizes across all Google surfaces. With AdCreate providing the video assets (starting at $23/month), total marketing investment for professional video advertising across Google is very accessible.

Google offers Store Visit conversions that use anonymized location data to estimate in-store visits driven by your ads. This requires a Google Business Profile and sufficient ad volume. Even without Store Visit tracking, you can measure direction requests, phone calls, and booking actions directly attributed to your video ad campaigns.
