From there, the process is straightforward:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Open Location Manager.\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Click the plus icon and select Our Locations.\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Use the embedded Google Maps search to find your business by address or name.\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Select up to 10 locations you own.\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Apply them at the account level or limit them to specific campaigns or ad groups through Location Groups.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Google does warn that only locations you own should be linked. If you attempt to add someone else\u2019s listing, expect a quick disapproval.<\/p>\n<p>This is the kind of improvement that seems small but delivers a real quality-of-life boost for advertisers who have battled with the older methods.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-this-update-matters\"><\/span><b>Why This Update Matters<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>For years, adding location extensions has been one of those tedious tasks nobody looked forward to. You either had to sync with Google Business Profile, which wasn\u2019t always practical for agencies onboarding new clients, or you had to type everything manually, prone to typos and inconsistencies.<\/p>\n<p>Now, advertisers can search Google Maps directly from the Ads interface, select the correct listings, and confirm ownership. It\u2019s faster, cleaner, and eliminates the copy-paste nightmare.<\/p>\n<p>For agencies managing multiple accounts, this is a significant concern. The old workflow was one of the most time-consuming steps in account setup, especially for businesses with several locations. By eliminating unnecessary layers of verification, campaigns can go live more quickly without compromising accuracy.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-advertisers-should-do-right-now\"><\/span><b>What Advertisers Should Do Right Now<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you manage local ads, this is worth testing immediately. Here\u2019s a practical action plan to take advantage of the update:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Verify Your Maps Listings<\/b>: Before adding anything, check that your locations on Google Maps have the correct address, phone number, and hours. If the listing is wrong, fix that first.\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Start Small<\/b>: Add a few locations as a test before rolling out to all your accounts. This helps you catch any quirks.\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Use Location Groups Wisely<\/b>: Linking at the account level is convenient, but you can still restrict which locations show for which campaigns. Use groups for better control.\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Track Local Metrics<\/b>: After enabling new locations, keep an eye on store visits, calls from ads, and directions clicks. These metrics show whether the change improves engagement.\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Document Changes<\/b>: Keep a simple log of who added which locations and when. This helps troubleshoot any future disapprovals.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"limits-and-considerations\"><\/span><b>Limits and Considerations<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The feature has some boundaries you need to know:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">You can only add <b>up to 10 locations<\/b> using the Maps picker. For big chains, Google Business Profile syncing or bulk uploads are still necessary.\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Ownership is key. If you try to add a location that isn\u2019t yours, it will not pass approval.\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Duplicate or inaccurate listings can create confusion. Always check that you\u2019re selecting the correct version of your store from Maps.\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">This doesn\u2019t replace a proper measurement setup. Adding a location doesn\u2019t automatically ensure store visit tracking or offline conversion measurement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"who-benefits-most\"><\/span><b>Who Benefits Most<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Local businesses, franchises with fewer than 10 stores, and agencies onboarding new clients will see the biggest benefits. It\u2019s especially useful for businesses that never got around to setting up Google Business Profile or that need a quick fix for upcoming campaigns.<\/p>\n<p>Larger advertisers still need their current workflows, but even for them, the new feature could speed up temporary or pilot campaigns without messing with the main business profile sync.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-comes-next\"><\/span><b>What Comes Next<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Google often rolls out incremental updates like this before adding bigger features. It wouldn\u2019t be surprising if the Maps picker expands to allow bulk imports, higher location limits, or built-in verification indicators. For now, it\u2019s a focused change that fixes a real pain point without overcomplicating the platform.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"key-takeaways\"><\/span><b>Key Takeaways<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">You can now add business locations by searching Google Maps inside Google Ads.\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">The limit is 10 locations per account using this method.\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Only add locations you own; others will be rejected.\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">You can apply these locations to all campaigns or specific ones using Location Groups.\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Big chains should stick to bulk uploads or Business Profile sync for scale.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google has introduced a faster way for advertisers to set up location assets, which could save hours for anyone managing local campaigns.\u00a0 Users can now add their business locations directly from Google Maps inside the Google Ads platform.
