My Key Takeaway
Granularity
#thinkppc
Location Targeting: No Strategy Targeting
#thinkppc
Location Targeting: Strategic Approach
● 20 mile target.
● Is this really a granular enough target?
● Can performance improve by subdividing the geo?
#thinkppc
Location Targeting: Geo Performance
#thinkppc
Location Targeting: Geo Performance
● Performance by radius pretty much as expected from 5-15 miles.
● Performance 20-35 miles better than expected.
● Opportunity in the 20-35 mile range. Location segmentation sets the stage for next level of optimization.
