Programmatic Marketing allows for a business to narrow down their target market, which is ideal for local businesses. Platforms such as Google Ad’s allow businesses to use factors such as location, demographics (age, income, etc), language, and psychographics (interests, activities, etc). Filtering based on these factors allows for the ad to reach an audience that is more likely to convert for the business (conversion can be an online sale, a lead, or an increase in in-store traffic). These ads can appear in search or on various websites. They appear in search under the “sponsored” section in Google. Google Ad’s allow for a standard or accelerated delivery of the ad’s.
