How Conversion Zones Work
(Online Advertising To Offline Foot Traffic)

Conversion zones are a powerful means to track your online advertising to offline storefront traffic and conversions (meaning those people who physically went to a particular location as a result of seeing your Ads).

• A virtual geo-fence is traced around an area where the advertiser wants to target customers visiting another location (i.e a competitor’s store, a venue, or a specific part of town, etc.)
• Next, a virtual Conversion Zone is traced around one or more of the the advertiser’s locations.
• When the customer enters the geo-fenced location, they will then be targeted with the advertiser’s ads on their mobile device.
• When the customer enters the Conversion Zone with their mobile device and has previously been served the advertiser’s ad, the Conversion Zone recognizes the user and attributes their visit as an offline conversion for the geo-fencing campaign.

Now you can truly determine the impact your advertising is having on people who have seen your ads and walk to your designated conversion zone.  And our team is tracking it all in our reporting dashboard.

Natural Store Visitors Versus Advertised Store Visitors

Now that we know we can track people who saw or clicked on your ads and then visited your storefront, you know you can tie real offline traffic back to your online return on investment.  But a reasonable question we get a lot from advertisers is “how do you know if that traffic was still going to visit my store regardless of seeing our Ads?”

We have an answer for that.

Geo Conversion Lift Tracking

Our team can track the number of people who would have naturally visited your store front versus the number of people who visited your store front as a result of seeing your Ads.  It’s what we call geo lift.   We calculate it by looking at the percent increase in natural store front visitors versus advertising percent increase in store front visitors.  Now you really know how effective your advertising is going.
