Overview

MNTN's Radius Targeting feature empowers your team to set specific radius parameters around cities or addresses for precise targeting or exclusion. Leverage it for radius targeting around:

  • a single city or address

  • an uploaded list of cities or addresses

Capabilities:

Topic

Capability

Radius Geographies

Radius Targeting can be applied to cities and addresses

Radius Measurement

Choose between Kilometers (KM) or Miles (M) for your radius targeting

Radius Minimum Distance

The defined radius must be at least 0.5 Kilometers (KM) or Miles (M)

Radius Maximum Distance

There is no maximum radius distance, however, we will only serve within the United States

Fractions of Radius Distance

Radius targeting can be inclusive of decimals for additional precision

Example: 10.2 miles

Radius Center

The radius distance is applied from the center of the city or address

Devices Targeted

We will target all devices within the radius of the city or address. If a device is moving in and out of the radius, we will only target that device when it falls within the defined radius

Use Radius Targeting

  1. Navigate to the Audience Builder.


    πŸ“ Note: The Audience Builder can be accessed from within your campaign shell on the Audience step, or within your Audience tab.


  2. Click on the Location tab.

  3. Select the Search New sub-header to search for individual geographies.

  4. Toggle the Radius Search feature ON.

    Two new fields will append: one allowing you to define your radius measurement and one allowing you to define the radius distance.

  5. Define these fields based on your team's needs.

  6. In the Search field, enter the desired address or city.

    You'll be prompted to either include or exclude the city or address upon search.

  7. Click Save.
