Google Local Business Centre Becomes More Important Than Ever Before for Advertisers with Location-Based Businesses Who May be Using Traditional Yellow Pages Advertising.
Launching in the UK within the next week or so, Google’s new extension to AdWords advertising dynamically transforms your text ads into local ads carrying your relevant addresses.
With multiple addresses, you can have additional highly-relevant ads targeted exactly to your location for a local search audience.
This means your advertising reach will increase to Google.co.uk, Google Maps, and Google Earth.
Your ads can show anywhere your campaigns target geographically, depending on the user’s search and location, and displaying your ads with any of your relevant office locations (or without if you choose).
Multiple Google AdWords Ad Locations
To set this up, either enter your addresses into your Local Business Centre account, or put them directly into your AdWords Campaign settings
