Target the world,
your country, state, city, or block. It's all
possible with
GeoTargeting.
What is
it?
GeoTargeting is the ability
to show your advertisement
to keyword search queries limited to a
geographical area.
A living
example of Search Engine
GeoTargeting:
BUSINESS TYPE: You own a local
piano dealership in Atlanta specializing in selling
Yamaha and Steinway grand pianos. You also have 10
studios where parents can bring their children to take
piano lessons.
CUSTOMERS: Virtually all of
your customers and sales come from within a 100 mile
radius. However, the piano lesson students come from a
radius of 10 miles.
OBJECTIVE: 2 objectives. 1)
Attract more students to the dealership that will take
lessons that will hopefully buy a piano at some
point in the future. 2) Extend the reach of the
piano business to a larger audience that encompasses the
southeast region of the United States.
SOLUTION: For objective #1, a
paid search campaign that is geographically targeted on
search engines such as Google that allow GeoTargeting.
This campaign will use general keywords a user would type
to find a piano teacher or get piano lessons. The
targeting would be set within certain zip codes, cities,
or a radius from the store. All good solutions that would
work in this case.
For objective #2, a regional campaign would
be implemented to include the Southeast US when
people type in any keyword combination referencing
products sold at the dealership such as "Yamaha grand
pianos", "Yamaha piano dealer(s)" or "new Steinway
pianos". Campaigns would be split tested with various ad
copy over time to find the best possible optimized ad
that yield profitable results for the
dealership.
Here
are a few more examples of how your
business might benefit from GeoTargeting.
