Advertise Where It Matters Most
Location is everything, especially in advertising. With location-based advertising, we help your business target potential customers based on where they live, work, shop, or travel. Whether it’s a specific building, event venue, or city block, your ads will show up when and where they’re most relevant.
What Is Location-Based Advertising?
Location-based advertising, or hyper-local ads, or geofencing, uses GPS, Wi-Fi, beacon, or IP data to deliver mobile ads to users based on their physical location. We can draw digital boundaries (geo-fences) around specific locations and serve your ads to devices that enter them.

FAQs
Q: How precise is location-based advertising?
We can target areas as specific as a single building or a 100-foot radius, depending on the platform.
Q: Is this different from local SEO?
Yes. This is paid advertising delivered based on physical location, not organic search presence.
Q: Can I use this for multiple locations or franchises?
Absolutely. We build unique geo-campaigns for each location or region you serve.
