The Right Way To Setup Your Ads In Google Maps in Google Ads

[@phaniindra4353]

so what if i run smart campaign does it work better

[@thetylerhanson]

That's a really good question - I'd say no as the black box of mystery is even further mysterious as it is with PMAX but if you are seeing results then it could be a good choice.

[@thetylerhanson]

Glad it was helpful TIm!

So if i run search ads with location extension that does also appear on google maps or only on search...

[@thetylerhanson]

It would only be on search

[@phaniindra4353]

@thetylerhanson what to do if my ad to show up on search if i run smart campaign does that show up on both search and maps pls explain

[@TravisWeathersPilot]

That was gold thank you By what you’re saying, does that mean that the only way to get advertisements to show up in the Google map pack is through performance max which means there will be no way to directly target the map pack? Are there any other options outside of local intent to be able to run ads for the maps?

[@thetylerhanson]

@@TravisWeathersPilot at this time that is the only way to get into the map pack - that could change later on. You can connect the location ad extension/asset to your search campaign but that will only display your number/address info on the search ad not in the actual map pack.

google always goes and ruins good stuff. still worth it for that map pack placement though.
