Geo-fenced campaign automation
The most opportunistic local marketing move - running a quick boost ad the moment a nearby competitor closes early or runs out of something - almost never happens because nobody's watching in real time. This playbook automates the trigger based on local foot-traffic and signal patterns.
Set your geo-fence zones
Define the radius around each unit and around key competitor locations relevant to your campaign logic.
Define your trigger signals
Foot-traffic data drops at a competitor location, or a time-of-day pattern, can both serve as triggers depending on what data you have access to.
Pre-build the rapid-response creative
Have a generic 'we're open, come on over' ad template ready so the automated trigger has something to deploy instantly.
Worth knowing
Geo-fenced foot-traffic data has real accuracy limitations and privacy considerations - verify your data provider's methodology and compliance with local privacy regulations before relying on it for automated spend decisions.
