- Behavioral Targeting

Behavioral targeting involves targeting consumers based on intent. Research shows that ads served based on consumer intent have a 40% higher purchase intent life. Consumers provide the data that shows what they want by visiting different website, viewing content, and using specific search terms. Consumers are then placed into a campaign queue, where they’re served personalized ads. This allows advertisers to develop different personalized strategies for advertising.

- Location Targeting

Location targeting is another tool advertisers use to ensure their ads are delivered to the right target audience at the correct time. With location targeting, a consumer searching from a specific location will be reached by ads that are specific to the current location (geofencing). In addition, marketers can also implement targeting based on consumer demographics, such as age, gender, and sociographics.
