Even this is a large umbrella term under which marketers take several approaches to strategize better. The 5 types that are commonly taken to by advertisers and publishers as an attempt at location-based advertising are discussed briefly below:<\/p> <ol class=\"schema-how-to-steps\"><li class=\"schema-how-to-step\" id=\"how-to-step-1665762478737\"><strong class=\"schema-how-to-step-name\">Geotargeting<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-how-to-step-text\">Geotargeting<strong> <\/strong>works by leveraging the IP address of a user and personally reaching out to them, messaging them about the relevancy of their location. Say you enable access to location on an app, and then the app notifies you of an interesting offer or opportunity banking on the regional information or the user\u2019s proximity to the nearby store.<\/p> <\/li><li class=\"schema-how-to-step\" id=\"how-to-step-1665762513930\"><strong class=\"schema-how-to-step-name\">Geo Conquesting<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-how-to-step-text\">Geo Conquesting is a concept that works by steering clientele away from a competitor and towards the source business. Say you are about to visit a store for a certain purpose, but as soon as you cross the marked boundary, you get a better offer for the same deal to a different store nearby. This, too, works by tracking the user\u2019s location data.\u00a0<\/p> <\/li><li class=\"schema-how-to-step\" id=\"how-to-step-1665762538718\"><strong class=\"schema-how-to-step-name\">Geofencing<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-how-to-step-text\">Geofencing is the creation of the aforementioned boundary. It creates an active location fence, and any user that crosses said boundary becomes an action to get to the advertising campaign, banking on the regional reach of the user.<\/p> <\/li><li class=\"schema-how-to-step\" id=\"how-to-step-1665762557129\"><strong class=\"schema-how-to-step-name\">Mobile Targeting<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-how-to-step-text\"><img width=\"922\" height=\"847\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/mobile_location_spend_2019-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"max-width: 100%; height: auto;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/mobile_location_spend_2019-1.jpg 922w, https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/mobile_location_spend_2019-1-300x276.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/mobile_location_spend_2019-1-768x706.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/mobile_location_spend_2019-1-150x138.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 922px) 100vw, 922px\" \/><br\/>Mobile targeting is simply utilizing geotargeting and geofencing and advertising users on their mobile according to their location data and once they cross the specific fence and are near the store.<\/p> <\/li><li class=\"schema-how-to-step\" id=\"how-to-step-1665762607448\"><strong class=\"schema-how-to-step-name\">Beaconing<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-how-to-step-text\">This is a process where certain devices i.e. beacons, have been installed that work on Bluetooth or wifi and send signals to mobile devices. Say a phone with an installed application for the relevant brand or business enters a territory, and the beacon identifying the same sends relevant marketing messages to the particular device.<\/p> <\/li><\/ol><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-how-does-geotargeting-work\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Does_Geotargeting_Work\"><\/span>How Does Geotargeting Work?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Geotargeting is a marketing tool that, for effective advertising, uses the geographic location of a user and shows ads accordingly. It can work country-wise, capital-wise, city, district, or even a small particular region. Geotargeting is a concept relevant not just to advertising as it is of great help to the public as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Say, for instance, you are visiting a new place and are looking for a place to eat; your first step would be to web search &#8216;restaurants near me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Geotargeting can be divided into three categories &#8211; local, hyper-local, and advanced geographic targeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Local targeting is where advertisements are displayed within the same area or region. Hyper-local targeting is when a specific location is chosen, say up to 1000 meters around a store, and ads are displayed accordingly. Advanced geographic targeting is where any user searching for a specific location is displayed the word accordingly. Here the geographic location of the user is immaterial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-how-does-geofencing-work\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Does_Geofencing_Work\"><\/span>How Does Geofencing Work?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Geofencing uses several tools and services, like Wi-fi, cellular data, RFID, and more, to set a specific perimeter around a particular location. And once a device crosses said perimeter or searches up the set location, brochures, coupons, notifications, text messages, emails, and other forms of advertising becomes activates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Geofencing is a concept not just relevant to marketing but in the fields of aviation, logistics, smart home control, and so on.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-geotargeting-vs-geofencing-key-differences\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Geotargeting_vs_Geofencing_Key_Differences\"><\/span>Geotargeting vs. Geofencing: Key Differences<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So, now that we\u2019ve covered a basic description of Geotargeting and Geofencing, here\u2019s a breakdown of the differences between the two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-14\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-14\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1 odd\">\n\t<th class=\"column-1\"><strong>GEOTARGETING<\/strong><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<\/th><th class=\"column-2\"><strong>GEOFENCING<\/strong><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Geotargeting works on raising more brand awareness and securing future conversions,<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Offers a Uber-relevant advertising experience to the potential leads for quick conversion.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Usually works by setting a broad geographic boundary, based on say a city, country, or town. <\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Geofencing works on a much narrow and more focused area, by setting a fence around a specific geographic location.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Geotargeting is usually combined with other filters and advertises in a hyper-personalized manner i.e. not all users inside the selected area will receive the notifications.<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Geofencing works by sending notifications to anyone and everyone who enters said parameter or searches for the location. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-5 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Geotargeting doesn't store the user's location data.<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Geofencing not only collects the user's location data but stores store their location history. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-6 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Geotargeting is used by almost every kind of business.<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Geofencing is used by specifically event agencies, advertisers, and business owners. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-7 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Geotargeting depends on a user's IP address.<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Geofencing leverages GPS, Wi-Fi, cellular data, and so on. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<!-- #tablepress-14 from cache -->\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wrapping_Up\"><\/span>Wrapping Up!&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Often advertisers and publishers are overwhelmed as to which is the better choice for them, and understanding the differences, i.e. Geotargeting vs Geofencing, can be helpful. While they may have similar targets and function under the same umbrella, they function distinctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It depends more on the brand whether geotargeting or geofencing will work more effectively. However, one can test out both and assess better for themselves. And plenty of geofencing and geo-targeting-specific platforms can be of help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQ_%E2%80%93_Geotargeting_vs_Geofencing\"><\/span>FAQ &#8211; Geotargeting vs Geofencing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1665762654175\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">1. <strong>Why Use Geofencing for Advertising?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Geofencing or any form of location-based marketing can offer an array of benefits.
