One key limitation is that Local customer optimization isn\u2019t compatible with Merchant Center.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Performance Max campaigns using products from Merchant Center or campaigns with online conversion goals can\u2019t use the feature. Advertisers must remove Merchant Center product feeds or create a separate store-goals campaign to enable Local customer optimization.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How to enable it<\/strong>. Advertisers creating a new Performance Max campaign for store goals will see a new Local customer optimization toggle during campaign setup after selecting offline conversion goals such as store visits, directions or store sales.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For existing campaigns, the setting can be found under Budget and bidding optimization within campaign settings. Once enabled and saved, Google will begin optimizing delivery toward nearby, high-intent users. The feature can also be turned off at any time to return the campaign to standard Performance Max behavior.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why we care.<\/strong> Until recently, advertisers couldn\u2019t specifically optimize Performance Max campaigns for people who were actively navigating, trip-planning or searching nearby with im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>te local intent. Local customer optimization brings those placements into Performance Max for store-goal campaigns, giving brick-and-mortar businesses a new way to reach high-intent customers across Google Maps, Waze and local Search formats from within a single campaign.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Bottom line.<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/google-ads\/answer\/17198659\">Google\u2019s new Local customer optimization feature helps Performance Max campaigns<\/a> prioritize nearby customers with strong local intent\u2014but only for store-goal campaigns that don\u2019t use Merchant Center product feeds.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background: radial-gradient(circle at 30% 40%, rgba(184, 111, 255, 0.15), rgba(0, 169, 255, 0.15) 40%, #CDE8FD 70%); padding: 30px; width: 100%; max-width: 802px; color: #000000 !important; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; margin: 25px 0 30px 0; border-radius: 8px; box-shadow: 0 2px 4px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1); position: relative; box-sizing: border-box;\">\n<div style=\"width: 100%; max-width: 100%; margin-bottom: 20px; text-align: left; padding-right: 20px; box-sizing: border-box;\">\n<div id=\"semrush-one-headline\" class=\"headline-responsive\" style=\"font-family: Oswald, sans-serif; font-size: 30px; font-weight: normal; margin: 0; color: #000000 !important; line-height: 1.2;\">\n        See exactly how <span style=\"background: linear-gradient(90deg, #D56EFE 0%, #068EF8 51%); -webkit-background-clip: text; -webkit-text-fill-color: transparent; background-clip: text;\">your competitors win<\/span>.\n      <\/div>\n<p id=\"semrush-one-subhead\" style=\"font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-weight: 300; line-height: 25px; margin: 12px 0 0 0; color: #000000 !important;\">\n        Uncover the keywords, ads, landing pages, and strategies driving your competitors\u2019 paid search success\u2014and find your next opportunity to outperform them.\n      <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\">\n      <span id=\"semrush-one-cta\" style=\"display: inline-block; background-color: #FF642D; color: white; height: 44px; border: none; border-radius: 5px; cursor: pointer; font-size: 16px; padding: 0 24px; font-weight: bold; white-space: nowrap; box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; line-height: 44px;\">Analyze your competitors<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<style>\n  @media (max-width: 768px) {\n    .headline-responsive {\n      font-size: 30px !important;\n      line-height: 1.3 !important;\n    }\n  }\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"ttd-topics-display\">\n<div class=\"ttd-topics-content\">\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Topics_on_this_page\"><\/span>Topics on this page<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<div class=\"ttd-topics-links\">GoogleGoogle Merchant CenterOnline advertisingGoogle MapsGoogle SearchWaze<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ttd-topics-show-extra-button\">+3 more<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
