Optimize your campaigns for maximum return from both online and offline conversions.

What you can do...	by...
Update your metrics	Including offline conversions when calculating the KPIs for your campaigns.   Example Average online CPA: $500 Google Ads spend / 10 online orders = $50 CPA, $500 in total sales from those orders Additional offline conversions counted: 10 orders Average offline order value: $100 Effective CPA: $25 Effective ROAS: 300%
Identify which parts of your account drive the most offline value	You may have specific campaigns or product categories that are more effective at bringing people into a store. See where in-store ROAS is higher than online ROAS, and consider expanding your keyword sets to be more location-centric or testing ad copy that encourages people to visit a business location. Tip Some keywords or product groups that have low online-only ROAS and seem unprofitable are great at driving customers into stores. When factoring in the offline ROAS, there may be a case for increasing their bids to drive more omni-channel impact and total revenue.
Optimize your bids	Increasing bids on keywords and product groups based on the additional value from offline sales. Example Target ROAS: 200% Effective ROAS (with offline orders): 400% Bid adjustment while reaching target ROAS: +100% (or, if you’re averaging a $25 CPA, you can afford to bid up to a $50 CPA).   Then segment further and see if you can find differences in value: Increase bid adjustments for your location extension targets if your physical locations are driving more profit and volume Take a look at the distance report for your location extensions to help determine these bid adjustments based on performance by distance. Increase your mobile bid adjustments if mobile is driving profitable offline sales and your mobile impression share is low Subdivide product groups by attributes that create meaningful differences in value Note that if you’re eligible to receive reporting on store visits conversions, this data is also available in distance, location, demographic, and time lag reports for Search. If you’re running Shopping campaigns, store visits are also available in product group reports. Use these insights to learn which parts of your account drive the most offline activity, and adjust your budget and bidding decisions accordingly.
Optimize your daily campaign budgets	Identifying any campaigns assisting with offline conversions that are losing impression share. Increase their daily budget limits to avoid missing out on more traffic opportunity.   Tip You can also increase your bids for keywords or product groups in these campaigns to improve your impression share.
Test creative	For local-specific campaigns (e.g. ones that focus on “near me” or geo-specific keywords) or ones that see more offline than website conversions, optimize your ads to drive engagement with your business locations. Highlight special offers and local information that can draw users to visit your store.
Optimize your landing pages	Displaying a prominent link to your Store Locator Page on your mobile website and featuring products that are more likely to drive in-store visits and sales. Tip Clicks through to the store locator page can be interpreted as interest in visiting one of your business locations. Factor these into your offline return estimates.
Ask about marketing budgets	Partnering with relevant stakeholders to start a discussion about omni-channel budgets. If your online ads are driving offline sales, work with relevant teams to determine how best to allocate budget across channels.

Conclusion

In the blink of an eye (or with the tap of a finger), a user on her smartphone can become a customer at the cash register. That’s why it’s more important than ever to connect with local consumers on-the-go in their moment of greatest purchase intent.

In this paper, we’ve covered how you can manage Google Ads to best reach these shoppers — making it easier for them to visit and transact at one of your business locations.

But there are broad organizational questions that also need to be considered:

• Is online being credited appropriately for offline transactions?
• Can you make the case for more budgets should you identify more profitable offline opportunities?
• What’s the media mix that will drive the most value for the business as a whole - ultimately providing the best customer experience (online and off)?

These are very complex questions that cannot be answered by any single channel — let alone any individual marketer. But you’ve got one thing on your side, and that’s the data from the campaigns you’ve run. Sharing the insights that you’ve gleaned can at the very least start some intriguing conversations across your organization.

Today, your consumer sees no boundaries — online, on device, out of home, and in-store are on a level playing field — so your marketing needs to be just as open.
