GEO marketing, also known as location-based marketing, is a digital advertising strategy that uses a person's real-world location to deliver ads that are relevant to where they are and where they have been. Using GPS, Wi-Fi and mobile data, geofencing marketing draws a virtual boundary around a specific address, neighborhood, event venue or even a competitor's storefront, then serves your ads to mobile devices that enter that area. Geotargeting works on a broader scale, reaching customers by city, ZIP code or radius while layering in demographics and interests to build a more qualified audience. Together, these location-based advertising tools let businesses of every size compete for attention in their own backyard, putting your message on the phones, tablets and apps your customers already use every day.
An effective geofencing advertising strategy starts with choosing the right locations and the right audience. We map custom geofences around high-value areas such as your storefront, trade shows, community events, office parks and competing businesses, a tactic known as geo-conquesting. Once a customer enters that boundary, your ads can follow them for up to 30 days through mobile ads, targeted display ads, social media placements and retargeting campaigns. Key features include hyper-local targeting by radius or ZIP code, audience filters by age, interests and behavior, foot traffic attribution that shows when an ad viewer actually walks through your door, real-time bidding and budget controls, and detailed reporting on impressions, clicks and conversion rates. Because every dollar is spent reaching people who are physically close to your business, geotargeting ads deliver a stronger return on investment (ROI) than broad, untargeted campaigns.
