Why You Must Geo-Target Your Ad Monitoring
Industries That Benefit From Geo-targeting
Industries that benefit the most from geo-targeting include localized retailers, telecom, travel, automotive, and finance.
For example, travel clients may want to learn about advertised room rates, OTA activity, or brand infringements per market serviced. Clients who work in cooperative search marketing scenarios with resellers and distributors can benefit from ensuring rank compliance and keyword/ad copy synchronization.
The Search Monitor uses thousands of IP addresses across the globe to simulate a user in a specific location. We can target any country, city, or region, and the language of the ad.
