Zip Code Ad Targeting For Facebook Ads
- ARTICLES |
Zip code targeting can be a form of geo-targeting which can probably benefit small and local medium sized business, if you will look at it initially. Nationwide chains of stores and franchises can be better off with city wide targeting, as some says.
This form of targeting can reach particular districts and the constituents and consumers from the districts. This can be effective for local businesses in taking advantage of the segmentation of their consumer base and be the best advantage for their small local business, theoretically.
There are advertisers who show that with zip code targeting of their ads their click through rate has increased as compared with the city targeted ads. Whether this can indicate that zip code targeting will be very valuable to local advertisers, it is still too early to tell, some say.
Before, Facebook advertisers can only geo-target ads on a city basis or where their users live, which can lead them in paying for lesser relevant clicks, as compared theoretically with the present method of zip code targeting. Presently Facebook advertisers can target specific neighborhoods which their present customer demographics, giving them more advantages.
Facebook can now include the IP address and internet provider together with the city address and this information together with the zip codes can ensure accurate targeting of demographics. This can be a more specific targeting method.
This kind of targeting can be the more specific and refined method of targeting. With this exact targeting way the advertisers can deliver a more relevant message to the exact users that they want to target, and this can be to their advantage.
The increased relevance of this method can lead to much higher click through rates. There is no reason to believe that this increased click through without lead to better conversions.
These may be reasons to believe also that this method can be to the advertiser's benefits, but some also have doubts about its effectivity because of probable zip code accuracy problems in certain areas. This is because of different data that are received in some areas.
Some said that zip code targeting based on IP address may not be that accurate also. Although there is no other data, or user location data that can be included in the profile targeting, all these still remain to be observed further.
Anyway, this kind of zip code targeting is used only in the US as they have said people can just wait for the effects on accuracy. By the time that it will be launched worldwide, everything will be well tested.
