AI Summary

Google has introduced Local customer optimization for Performance Max campaigns with store goals, designed to prioritize ads for users nearby and ready to visit or contact a business. This feature leverages AI to reach high-intent local customers across Google Maps, Waze, and Search, but is not compatible with Merchant Center product feeds.

⚡ Marketer Insight

Google's AI-powered Performance Max is now more adept at capturing in-market local shoppers, but advertisers must choose between Merchant Center integration or leveraging this new store-focused optimization.
