Turn Nearby Searches Into Walk-In Customers

The MaxV™ method pairs Search and Performance Max with conversion tracking that counts calls, directions and quotes, so Google's bidding learns what a real customer is worth to your store.

The retail click problem

Why your clicks die before the door

Without Enhanced Conversions and GA4 events, Google Ads bidding cannot distinguish a browser from a buyer. Most retail accounts pay for traffic, then wonder why the traffic never walks in.

Budget burned on the wrong clicks

You pay for people who were never going to visit. The bill grows. The aisles stay empty.

Optimized for traffic, not for your store

Generic agencies chase the click count. Nothing in the account tells Google what a real store visit is worth.

No line from ad spend to in-store sales

Calls, directions and quote forms go uncounted. The report shows clicks, never customers.

The measurement gap keeps bidding blind

If GA4 and Enhanced Conversions aren't wired up, Google's bidding is guessing at what a good customer looks like.

Spend-based fees, misaligned interests

When an agency earns more the more you spend, fixing the wasted budget is the last thing it's paid to do.

The MaxV™ method

How nearby searches become walk-in customers

1

We wire the measurement first

Before a dollar scales, we set up GA4, Google Tag Manager and Enhanced Conversions to count your calls, direction requests and quote forms. Google finally sees what a real store customer is worth, not just a click.

2

We build the mix and bid on value

You get local-intent Search plus Performance Max across Maps, YouTube and Display, reaching shoppers near you. tROAS bidding then chases the value of a customer, not the cost of a click, so your budget follows the people most likely to walk in.

3

We land the click on pages built to convert

Your traffic arrives on landing pages built for paid clicks, included in the method. One retailer told us their Google Ads landing pages perform much better since we started. The result: more of the right people pick up the phone or head to your door.

Answered straight, before you ask for a quote

How do you measure store visits and calls from my ads?+

We track calls, direction requests and quote forms as store outcomes using GA4, Google Tag Manager and Enhanced Conversions. That measurement is wired before we scale spend, so Google's bidding learns what a real customer is worth to your store instead of optimizing for raw clicks.

Do I need a big budget to start?+

You pay one flat monthly retainer for management, separate from the ad budget you set with Google. There is no percentage-of-spend markup pushing you to spend more. [CONTENT NEEDED: typical starting monthly ad-budget guidance the operator is willing to state publicly.]

Can you run my campaigns in French and English?+

Yes. We run Google Ads for retailers across Quebec in French and across Canada in English, so your nearby shoppers see ads in the language they search in.

What if it doesn't work?+

There is no long-term contract, so you can leave anytime. Flat retainer, no contract means performance is the only thing keeping the relationship, and we re-earn the mandate every month.

Who actually manages my account?+

Named partners run your account, not a rotating junior pool. Nathanaël Morin (Partner, Director of Technology) and Martin Genesse (Founder and Strategy Director) own the work, backed by IMG Media's current Google Partner standing.

Part of a buying group or retail network?+

This page covers independent, local retailers whose main goal is foot traffic and in-store sales. If you belong to a buying group or retail network, see our buying-group program built for that model.
