Why This Works

Location-Based Precision

Geofencing is strategic, privacy-respectful, and focused on measurable outcomes like calls, form fills, store visits, and sales.

  • Right place and right time

    People inside a venue reveal intent with their feet. Your message lands when they are considering options.

  • Competitive edge

    Conquesting around competitor locations gives you a chance to interrupt the purchase path and present a better choice.

  • Seasonal and event responsive

    Fairs, tournaments, conferences, and holiday peaks create predictable surges in attention. Geofencing converts those moments into measurable outcomes.

Have a competitor you would like to sit across from?

Tell us where your buyers physically go. We will tell you whether a fence there is worth drawing.

What's Included

A geofencing program that turns real-world presence into qualified leads.

Precise polygons, not crude circles

Most providers still use radius targeting that bleeds into parking lots and nearby buildings. We build hand-drawn polygons that match the building footprint and the parcels that matter. This accuracy improves audience quality and reduces wasted impressions.

Event and venue strategy

We identify locations that signal intent. Competitor stores, category retailers, service hubs, convention centers, stadiums, and seasonal fairs can all be high value. We add time windows for events and dayparting for peak hours to capture devices when attention is highest.

Audience capture and retention

Devices that enter the fence are placed into privacy-safe audiences. We set lookback windows that keep your message visible for days or weeks depending on your sales cycle. We exclude recent converters and your own staff where possible so budget stays focused on prospects.

Creative and offers that fit the context

People who were inside a competitor or category store are likely comparing options. We use creative that makes your advantage clear and easy to act on. Short headlines, proof, and local credibility win the scroll with directions, hours, and click-to-call.

Cross-channel delivery

Geofenced audiences can receive ads on mobile display, apps, some mobile web, and connected TV inventory when available. We also layer these audiences into Google and social platforms through privacy-compliant connections so your message appears across the places people spend time.

Our Process

From Strategy to Scale

A systematic approach to location-based advertising that delivers measurable results.

  1. Discovery & Location Mapping

    We learn your goals, analyze competitors, and list target venues. We pull parcel outlines and foot traffic patterns to select the best candidates. You receive a map with primary and test fences, along with the reasoning behind each pick.

  2. Fence Build & QA

    We draw polygons, confirm alignment with satellite and street imagery, and apply entry and exit rules. We test to ensure devices are captured only inside the intended footprint. Incorrect fences can ruin performance, so this step receives careful attention.

  3. Audience Design & Exclusions

    We create separate pools for each fence and time window. Competitor pools, event pools, and neighborhood pools often behave differently. We exclude low-value areas and protect budget by removing recent converters and employees where possible.

  4. Creative Production

    We design static, carousel, and lightweight motion assets. Each set includes a benefit-forward headline, a clear proof element, and a single call to action. If you have promotions that align with the targeted venue, we build a version that highlights them.

  5. Launch & Learn

    Campaigns start with controlled budgets and conservative frequency. We review early indicators like click-through rate, viewability, and cost per engaged visit on the landing page. Quick tweaks remove weak placements and improve delivery.

  6. Optimize & Scale

    We shift spend toward the fences and creatives that hit cost-per-result goals. We test new venues, refine polygons, and rotate offers. If results justify it, we add connected TV or social overlays to increase reach within the captured audience.
