You have certainly heard of or even used the Google Ads platform to market your business, drive traffic to your website or even increase your sales. There is much more than this option for you!

Digital marker: Your banner will be displayed to users who click on your marker, presenting them with your information.

Takeover: Your large format banner will be displayed to your audience when their vehicle is stationary, so at a time when their attention is maximum.

Arrow: A signaling arrow in your image is displayed when the application is opened and indicates your store which is nearby.

Search: You can set up a "Sponsored Search". That is, if users search, your ad will appear at the top of search results

Waze is the perfect platform to combine traditional media and digital media.
