You own a small bike store and want to learn about your customers' journeys between an ad engagement and an in-store visit. What metric should you use?

The correct option is Local Actions because this metric specifically tracks the lightweight, intent-driven interactions that customers perform on an ad or via Google Maps—such as clicking for driving directions, calling the store, or viewing a menu—which serve as critical digital signals of an offline journey. While "Store Visits" uses modeled data to estimate physical entries into a shop, Local Actions provide a more granular view of how a potential biker interacts with your business profile immediately after seeing an ad. By monitoring these specific touchpoints, a small business owner can better understand which creative assets or keywords are most effective at prompting customers to bridge the gap between their mobile device and the physical bike shop. Would you like me to show you how to find the specific breakdown of "Clicks to Call" versus "Driving Directions" in your campaign reports?
