Turn Nearby Searches Into Walk-In Customers

The MaxV™ method pairs local-intent Search and Performance Max with conversion tracking that counts calls, direction requests and quote forms (GA4, Google Tag Manager, Enhanced Conversions), so Google's bidding learns what a real customer is worth to your store.

How MaxV™ works here

Why retail clicks die before the door

Budget goes to the wrong clicks

Without Enhanced Conversions, Google chases the cheapest click — paying for visitors who were never coming in.

Agencies optimized for spend, not outcomes

Generalist agencies paid on spend optimize for traffic. Nothing in the account ties ad dollars to calls, directions or in-store revenue.

No signal back to Google's bidding

Without GA4 events and store-outcome values, Google's algorithm cannot tell a browser from a buyer at your counter.

How it works

The MaxV™ method, tuned for store traffic

1

Your measurement gets wired before a dollar scales

GA4, Google Tag Manager and Enhanced Conversions capture calls, direction requests and quote forms as store outcomes. Google finally sees what a real customer looks like.

2

Your campaign mix gets built on local buying intent

Search captures shoppers already looking for what you sell nearby. Performance Max extends reach across Maps, YouTube and Display. You appear at the moment a nearby shopper is choosing.

3

Your bids chase customer value, not cheap clicks

Target ROAS bidding is tuned to what a customer is worth to your store. Budget moves toward searches and audiences that produce calls, visits and quotes.

4

Your clicks land on pages built for paid traffic

Landing pages are part of the methodology, not a separate invoice. Campaigns and pages improve as one system — the same ad spend converts more visitors into store traffic.

Typical agency

How is the fee set?
% of ad spend — grows with your budget whatever happens at your door
Flat monthly retainer — fee stays the same whether your budget is modest or scaling
Who benefits when your budget grows?
The agency, automatically. A bigger budget means a bigger fee, results or not.
You do, or we don't recommend it. More spend only makes sense when tracking shows your store earning it back.
What gets optimized?
Clicks and raw conversions. A curious browser weighs the same as a buyer at your counter.
Value. Calls, direction requests and quote forms feed tROAS bidding — budget shifts toward real customers.
Who fixes the landing pages?
Often nobody. Pages sit outside the mandate or come quoted as a separate project.
Included. Pages built for paid traffic are part of the MaxV™ method, not an add-on.
What keeps the relationship going?
The contract you signed. Once committed to a term, pressure to perform eases.
Results, month after month. No contract means keeping your store growing is the only way we keep your account.
What if you want out?
Read the fine print. Multi-month commitments are common in agency agreements.
Leave any month. Your account, data and campaign history stay yours either way.

FAQ

The questions store owners ask before requesting a quote

Do I need a big ad budget to make this work?+

No fixed minimum is hidden in the fine print. IMG Media charges a flat monthly retainer that does not grow with your ad spend, so every extra dollar goes to Google, not agency commission.

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

With GA4, Google Tag Manager and Enhanced Conversions. Calls, direction requests and quote forms are each assigned a value and fed into target ROAS bidding so Google learns what a real customer is worth.

Can you run my campaigns in French and English?+

Yes. IMG Media runs campaigns in French for Quebec and English across Canada, so keywords, ads and landing pages match the language your customers actually search in.

What if it doesn't work for my store?+

You leave. No long-term contract means you can walk away any month. That structure is deliberate: performance is the only thing keeping the relationship.

Which campaigns will you actually run for my store?+

Local-intent Search, Performance Max, and Demand Gen where it fits. Landing pages built for paid traffic are included in the MaxV™ method — pages and campaigns improve as one system.

Who actually manages my account?+

The partners themselves: Nathanaël Morin (Partner, Director of Technology) and Martin Genesse (Founder and Strategy Director). Your account is never handed to a junior pool.
