Retargeting Geolocation Audience

What is geolocation?

Geolocation is the process of determining a user's or computing device's geographic location using a number of data collection techniques. Eskimi determines the geographic location based on the GPS coordinates while supporting 3 geolocation audience creation methods: simply drawing or searching of the location, uploading GPS coordinates or postal codes. 

Why geolocation?

Retargeting geolocation audience enablestargeting allows to reach usershighly whotargeted visitedaudiences awithin specific location. The data is collected based on location of devices (GPS) within a specific location and time. The creation of the location and time frame of which devices are being collected and aggregated into that actionable custom audience, allows target users from specific locations even after they have left that geolocation.

Limitations

  • Running specific types of creatives (e.g. VAST or Native) can limit the retargeting of possible users. It is recommended to use standard display banners in formats such as 300x250, 300x600, 320x480, 320x50, etc.
  • The more narrow the location targeting is chosen, the less users retargeting geolocation audience will collect, therefore it is recommended to evaluate the location's popularity and size and based on that determine the radius. 
  • As the biggest part of GPS information for geolocation audience will come from users' apps, it might result in higher reach of apps inventory during the campaign. 
  • You
  • Due canto selectstrict thisiOS privacy settings, most of geolocation audience atusers will be Android users. 
  • It is recommended to create the retargeting geolocation audience 2-5 days before the start of the campaign "Editin page"order whento atevaluate leastthe onecampaign's userreach and overall potential.
