Renaissance Center, Detroit
Metro Detroit
There is a home show, a bridal expo or a big community festival this weekend in Metro Detroit, packed with exactly the people you want as guests. You cannot staff a booth at every event, and the folks walking past will forget most of the names they see by Monday.
Geofencing draws a digital line around that event, a neighborhood or a set of addresses and shows your ads on the phones of people who were inside it. We pick the places that match your guests, build ads for that moment and keep showing them for the days that follow.
The next week, people who were at the event see your name while scrolling or reading the news. Some visit your site, some call, and you can see how many of the people inside each fence later came through your door or picked up the phone.
Tap the ones that sound like your week.

Fix this in Metro DetroitWe choose events, areas or addresses that match your best guests.
Boundaries drawn carefully so the ads reach the right people and not the parking lot next door.
Ads built for that place run on the phones of people who were inside the fence.
Visits, calls and bookings tied back to each fence where data allows.
What we report every month: Reach by fence, Site visits and calls from fenced audiences, Location visits where measurable, and Cost per booking by fence.
A geofence is a virtual boundary drawn around a place on a map. When a phone with location services enters it, that device can be added to an audience and shown your ads in apps and on websites. Ads can run while people are there or for a set period after.
Geotargeting shows ads to people within a wide area like a ZIP code or a radius around your location. Geofencing is tighter, aimed at people who were in a specific spot, like an event or a building. Both have a place, depending on how precise your audience needs to be.
Cost depends on how many fences you run, how many people pass through them, how long the ads run and the platform used. A single weekend event is a small campaign, while a year of neighborhood fences is a bigger one. We quote management as a fixed monthly or campaign fee and you set the ad budget.
Geofencing uses location data that people agree to share through their apps, and platforms keep it anonymous. Some places, like health care facilities, are off limits or restricted for ad targeting. We stay within platform rules and avoid targeting sensitive locations.
Some businesses fence a competitor's location, but it can feel aggressive and the results are often mixed. Fencing events, neighborhoods and partner locations where your guests gather usually works better. If you do try it, keep the message about you, not them.
Face to face and real, but costly, and you can only be in one place at a time.
Easy to set up, but they reach many people who will never need you.
Carefully drawn fences around the places your guests gather, with ads that follow up for days and results reported by fence.
