The program, which is currently in beta, links users’s store to their visits to their searches conducted on smartphones through Google, to establish the efficacy of its mobile ads.

For instances, if a users searches for a product name in Google mobile searches, with location tracking enabled, nearby stores that offers the product can bid to get their ad served to the user above other ads. Google can then connect and track the user    ‘s location data, and after comparing it with its listing, check if the user who was served the ad actually visited the store after viewing it.

Through the program, Google will reportedly be able to offer advertisers a better and more concrete estimate of their returns on ad investments, and command higher ad rates for better targeting.
