GEO

Publication date: 20 Feb 2023

GEO is the location of users, offers or traffic.
GEO refers to the geographical targeting of marketing campaigns, which can include entire countries, cities, or even specific regions. In marketing and traffic arbitrage, GEO defines the location of the audience for which the ads are created. Using GEO-targeting allows for more precise campaign management and increases effectiveness by targeting specific locations, taking into account users’ preferences and cultural differences.

How Does GEO-Targeting Work?

GEO-targeting works by using data about users’ locations. This information can include:

• IP address – helps determine the country or city.
• GPS data – provides more accurate location for mobile devices.
• Wi-Fi and Bluetooth data – enables more localized tracking.
• Geotags in social media – indicate users’ locations based on their activity.

Benefits of GEO-Targeting in Traffic Arbitrage

For arbitrageurs and media buyers, GEO is one of the most important metrics determining where traffic is directed and where it originates. Benefits of using geo-targeting in traffic arbitrage include:

1. Budget savings: Running ads only in the necessary regions helps save money.
2. Higher conversions: GEO-targeted ads attract users with a higher likelihood of completing a target action.
3. Minimized non-targeted traffic: Excluding users from other regions reduces irrelevant clicks.

Tools for GEO-Targeting

There are several tools available for managing GEO campaigns. These include:

• Google Ads and Facebook Ads: Both platforms allow for campaign targeting based on location.
• Taboola and Outbrain: Native ad networks with GEO-targeting features.
• Fraud and analytics programs such as FraudScore and Forensiq, which help track GEO traffic and filter suspicious visits.
