Affiliate Location Extensions
Affiliate Location Extensions are a type of ad extension used in digital marketing to display the addresses of nearby retail locations that sell a brand’s products.
Description
Affiliate Location Extensions are designed to help brands connect online shoppers with physical retail stores that carry their products. When users search for a product online, these extensions show nearby locations where the product can be purchased, increasing the convenience for the user and potentially driving more in-store traffic. This feature is especially useful for brands that do not have their own brick-and-mortar stores but are sold through various retailers. It ultimately bridges the gap between online searches and physical purchases, providing a seamless shopping experience that can boost both online and offline sales.
Examples
- A consumer searches for 'Nike running shoes' on Google. The search results include an ad for Nike with an Affiliate Location Extension showing nearby stores like Foot Locker and Dick's Sporting Goods that carry Nike products.
- A user looks up 'Sony 4K TV' on their mobile phone. They see an ad for Sony with an extension listing nearby Best Buy and Walmart locations where the TV is available.
Additional Information
- These extensions are particularly effective for brands with widespread retail distribution.
- They can be tailored to display specific store locations based on the user’s geographical location.
