Google Search + location integration
Google Search campaigns connect with your location so nearby shoppers can find you in Search and Maps, get directions and visit your store.
Why Maps visibility matters
When someone searches nearby, Google can promote your location directly in Search and Maps — with an address, distance, call button and directions.
Sources: Google/Ipsos local-search study; Google Ads: Location assets; Google Ads: Search ads on Maps. Results vary by category, location and campaign setup.
AI-driven optimisation
We combine hands-on Google Ads management with AI-powered analysis to continually refine who sees your ads, where your budget goes and which searches drive real value.
The goal: reduce avoidable waste and get the strongest possible results at an efficient cost — whether you measure success in calls, directions, store visits or ROAS.
How It Works
STEP 01
We set up your Google Ads account
We create a targeted local Search campaign aimed at people in your city actively searching for what your store sells. Location targeting, keywords, ad copy — all done for you.
STEP 02
Your ads show when locals search
When someone nearby Googles a product or service you sell, your ad appears at the top. They see your address, hours, and a call button. One tap and they’re on their way to your store.
STEP 03
We optimise weekly
Every week we review performance, adjust bids, add negative keywords, and refine targeting — squeezing more foot traffic from every rand of your ad budget.
STEP 04
You see results, we report monthly
Each month you receive a clear performance report — clicks, calls, directions requests, and store visit estimates. You’ll know exactly what your R3 000 is doing.
What’s Included
Google Ads Setup
Campaign creation, keyword research, ad copy, location targeting, and Google Business Profile linkage.
Weekly Optimisation
Bid adjustments, search term review, negative keywords, ad copy testing — done for you every week.
Call & Location Ads
Ads with your phone number and directions built in — customers can call or navigate straight from Google.
Monthly Report
Clear, no-jargon report covering clicks, calls, map directions, and store visit signals every month.
Conversion Tracking
We set up tracking for calls, direction clicks, and website visits so we always know what’s working.
No Lock-In Contract
Monthly rolling. If you’re not seeing results, you can cancel. We’re confident the ads will perform.
Note: R3 000/month covers Poptag management only. Google Ads spend (your ad budget) is separate — we recommend a minimum of R2 000/month in ad spend to see consistent results.
