First Person Marketing

Geofencing advertising

(monthly, ad spend extra)

Reach people while they're near your store

Show ads to people's phones when they're near your store, a competitor or an event.

On any plan, from $790 a month

The problem

Some of your best prospects are physically near your store, a competitor or an event. Geofencing reaches their phones while they're there.

Best for retailers, restaurants and car dealerships; businesses near competitors with heavy foot traffic; event organizers and exhibitors.

  • Customers walk past your door and go to a competitor
  • Your competitor's location gets the foot traffic you want

How we fix it

  • We draw fences around your stores, competitors and events
  • We show mobile ads while people are inside them
  • We report store visits so you see what the ads drove

What you get

What to expect

Typical timelines. Results depend on your market, budget and starting point.

  1. First 5 days

    We audit your account and check your conversion tracking before more budget is spent.

  2. Weeks 2 to 6

    Campaigns run with tighter targeting. We cut the search terms and placements that waste budget as data comes in.

  3. Month 2 and on

    We move budget to the campaigns that bring leads or sales, and each monthly report shows your cost per result.

What clients say

All reviews
“Honest feedback: the first two weeks were mostly them untangling the mess our previous agency left in the ads account. After that it got good. Fewer junk clicks, and someone actually answers when I ask why the budget moved.”
Daniel OkaforGoogle Ads management, Sep 2026English
“Antes pagábamos por clics que no servían para nada. Configuraron el seguimiento de conversiones antes de gastar un solo peso y ahora sabemos qué anuncio trae cada cliente.”
Javier MoralesPay-per-click advertising (PPC), Sep 2026Español
“We're a two-location dental practice and were basically invisible on Google Maps. Three months in, the second office finally shows up when you search from the neighborhood next door. I like that I can see exactly what they worked on each week in the portal instead of getting a vague monthly email.”
Megan R.Local SEO, Oct 2026English

Questions about geofencing advertising

How are store visits measured?

The ad platforms estimate visits from location data of people who saw your ads. We report what the platforms provide.

Is ad spend included?

No. Ad spend is paid directly to the platforms.

Who does the work?

Specialists from our Strategy, Marketing, Design and Analytics teams. Each task is checked before it reaches you, and shows which team did it and the hours it took.

Can I start with just geofencing advertising?

Yes. The Starter plan (10 hours a month) suits one or two ongoing services, so geofencing advertising can run on its own, alongside any agency you already use. You can start other services later from your client portal.

Is there a long contract?

No. Plans renew monthly and you can change or cancel from the Billing page in your client portal. A cancelled service ends at the end of that calendar month.

How is geofencing advertising billed?

It runs on your monthly plan hours, at a lower rate than our $95 standard. Unused hours roll over to next month, and extra hours are billed at your plan rate. Ad spend is separate and paid to the ad platforms.

Can I get my money back?

Yes. Every monthly plan has a 90-day money-back guarantee. Every task also waits for your approval, and you can ask for changes.
