geo-targeting

Place-specific content delivery

Geo-targeting is the practice of delivering different content, advertisements, or services to users based on their geographic location.

A website might show local weather, nearby store locations, or region-specific pricing.

Advertisers use geo-targeting to reach audiences in specific cities or countries: The campaign geo-targeted users within ten miles of our stores.

Also spelled geotargeting.
