Google Maps Ads
Promoted pins and local search ads that place your business at the top of Google Maps, right where nearby customers are looking.
BoostROI is a UK Google Maps & Local Ads agency. We get your business seen at the top of Google Maps and local "near me" searches — turning nearby, ready-to-act people into calls, visits and bookings.
Google Maps and Local advertising is how your business gets seen at the top of Google Maps and local "near me" results — exactly where people look when they want a business close to them.
When someone searches for something like "plumber near me" or "best café nearby", Google shows a map and a short list of local businesses. Appearing at the top of that list — through Maps ads, Local Services Ads and a strong Google Business Profile — puts you in front of people who are ready to call, visit or book, often that same day.
These are some of the highest-intent searches there are: most happen on a phone, and a huge share lead to a call, a direction request or a visit within hours. Done well, local advertising turns your area into a steady stream of new customers — which is exactly what we manage for you.
Most local searches happen on a phone and go to the businesses at the top of the map — if you're not there, you're invisible.
A claimed Google Business Profile isn't enough on its own; getting seen above competitors takes ongoing work.
Local Services Ads and the Google Guaranteed badge can put you first — but most businesses never set them up.
The wrong settings spend your budget on clicks from too far away or the wrong searches.
Without call and visit tracking, you can't tell which local searches actually bring customers.
BoostROI takes local advertising off your plate entirely and runs it with one goal: turning nearby searches into real calls, visits and customers.
Local advertising isn't one thing — it's a family of formats that get you found and chosen nearby. We choose and manage the right ones for your business, your area and your goals.
Promoted pins and local search ads that place your business at the top of Google Maps, right where nearby customers are looking.
Ads in local and "near me" results that reach people searching for businesses exactly like yours, close to them.
Pay-per-lead ads at the very top of Google, with the Google Guaranteed or Google Screened badge that builds instant trust.
The green tick that reassures customers and helps eligible businesses get chosen first, set up where you qualify.
Getting your business found and looking its best on Google Maps and local results, working hand in hand with your ads.
Campaigns built to drive phone calls from ready-to-act local customers, with one-tap calling straight from the ad.
Reaching nearby customers and driving store visits across Google's local placements, from a single goal-based campaign.
Putting your genuine star rating front and centre where it wins the click, alongside everything else that earns trust.
If customers in your area search for what you offer — and they do — then being at the top of Google Maps is one of the most direct ways to win them. Here's how it works for different businesses.
Plumbers, electricians, roofers, builders and cleaners reach people who need you now and want to call — and win trust instantly.
Dentists, physios, solicitors, accountants and salons become the local business people pick first, backed by reviews and trust badges.
Cafés, restaurants, gyms, garages and stores turn "near me" searches into real visits, directions and bookings.
If any of these ring true, your local presence could be working far harder for you.
You know customers search "near me", but you're not showing up on the map.
Competitors appear above you on Google Maps and you're not sure why.
You've claimed your Google Business Profile but it's not bringing calls.
You've heard of the Google Guaranteed badge but don't know how to get it.
You're getting found, but the calls and visits just aren't coming through.
You don't have time to manage Maps, reviews and local ads yourself.
You're not sure which local searches actually turn into customers.
You want more local calls, visits and bookings — and you need them soon.
