Optimizing for shop visits bridges that gap, tying ad performance directly to foot traffic.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What to do<\/strong>. If you use Ad Grants, review your account-level goals and confirm shop visits are enabled where eligible. Optimizing for foot traffic could materially improve your local impact \u2014 especially if you rely on in-person engagement.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Between the lines<\/strong>. As Google continues to emphasize local intent and Maps-based discovery, bringing store visit optimization to Ad Grants expands your ability to compete for nearby audiences. It shifts the focus from clicks and website traffic to measurable offline action.<\/p>\n<p><strong>First seen<\/strong>.
