Local Inventory Ads are designed to show your products and store information to which audience?

• A. Reach online-only shoppers anywhere.
• B. Drive traffic to international warehouses.
• C. Show your products and store information to shoppers who are nearby and searching on Google.
• D. Replace standard search ads entirely.

Answer: (C)

Local Inventory Ads target shoppers who are nearby and actively searching on Google for products. By linking your product data with your store’s inventory and location details, these ads show what you have in stock at a nearby store, along with the store name, distance, hours, and directions. They appear when people search on Google in contexts like Search, Shopping, or Maps with local intent (for example, “running shoes near me”). This focus on local, in-store purchase helps drive foot traffic and conversions from nearby customers. They’re not meant for online-only audiences or to replace standard search ads; they supplement Shopping by adding store-level stock and location information.
