A virtual geofence is traced around an area where the restaurant wants to target customers visiting another physical location (e.g. a competitor restaurant, a venue or a specific part of town, etc.). When the customer enters the geofenced target location, they will then receive your restaurant’s ads on their mobile device. And, upon arriving home, they will then be eligible to receive ads via their other connected devices as their mobile phone connects to their wifi network. Unlike other restaurant advertising agencies that offer geofencing, we carefully research every location we geofence to microtarget the right audience. Our geofences are accurate within feet!

Conversion zones are the most powerful tool for tracking online to offline conversions in mobile restaurant advertising. By tracing a virtual conversion zone around a physical location, restaurant marketers can measure the amount of physical traffic to the location from any customers who have seen your ad. Essentially, the physical location of your restaurant serves as the ultimate conversion zone as we aim to increase walk-ins to your location.
