In this webinar recording, Hanapin’s Associate Director of Services, Jeff Baum, and Unbounce’s Performance Marketer, Duane Brown, offer their best strategies on how to get more traffic, better leads, and ultimately, save you money, with location targeting.

Location Targeting: Strategic Approach
● 20 mile target.

enough target?
● Can performance
improve by subdividing
the geo?

Location Targeting: Geo Performance
● Performance by radius pretty much as expected from 5-15 miles.
● Performance 20-35 miles better than expected.
● Opportunity in the 20-35 mile range. Location segmentation sets the
stage for next level of optimization.
