Executive Summary
Using Location Data for Smarter Targeting
Location data is often handled as an operational input, yet its real value goes far beyond logistics or delivery rules. When used correctly, it becomes a foundational signal for relevance, trust, and performance across the entire customer journey. This playbook explores how location intelligence improves targeting quality by grounding experiences in real-world context. It shows how teams can move away from generic personalization and instead deliver interactions that reflect where customers actually are, what they can access, and what makes sense for them in that moment.
You will see how location-aware targeting supports more meaningful segmentation, reduces wasted impressions, and helps marketing efforts stay aligned with real business constraints such as availability, coverage, and fulfillment. Rather than adding complexity, location data simplifies decision-making by filtering out what should never be shown in the first place. By the end of this playbook, the role of location data becomes clear. It is not an enhancement layered on top of personalization, but a prerequisite for building experiences that feel consistent, credible, and effective at scale.
