• Online businesses can present targeted ad content to the user based on his/her physical location.
• Allows businesses to target relevant local consumers and realize maximum return on investment.
• Plays a vital role in creating a level playing field for both small and large businesses. Small businesses with a local flavor (and smaller budgets) can achieve greater results with geo-targeted aad buys.
