Best Practices

Best Practices for each aspect of the Intelligence Tool

Search Strategy

Start Broad, Then Refine:

  1. Begin with geography and 1-2 key audience segments

  2. Review results and performance patterns

  3. Add demographics or additional audiences

  4. Use index thresholds to focus on top performers

Use Natural Language Effectively:

  • ✅ Good: "Digital billboards for gym visitors in Boston with high income"

  • ✅ Good: "Transit inventory reaching young professionals in Manhattan"

  • ❌ Avoid: Overly complex multi-clause requests

  • ❌ Avoid: Asking for multiple unrelated things at once

Iterative Refinement:

  • Start with Smart Search for discovery

  • Use Manual Filters when you know exact criteria

  • Ask follow-up questions to narrow results

  • Don't start over - build on existing filters

Selection Strategy

Evaluate Before Selecting:

  • Always open Inventory Drawer for detailed review

  • Check audience alignment with your targets

  • Compare performance across durations

  • Consider geographic coverage and mix

Balance Your Mix:

  • Combine inventory types for broader reach

  • Mix digital and static for flexibility

  • Include street-side and curb-side transit (when applicable)

  • Diversify formats within category

Quality Over Quantity:

  • Higher index scores = better targeting

  • 10 well-targeted units > 50 mediocre units

  • Consider reach efficiency, not just impression volume

Scenario Planning

Create Multiple Scenarios:

  • Test different inventory combinations

  • Compare various flight lengths

  • Build conservative and aggressive options

  • Model different budget allocations

Analyze Thoroughly:

  • Review all four duration options

  • Check audience indexes carefully

  • Assess reach vs. frequency trade-offs

  • Consider external factors via AI search

Use AI Strategically:

  • Ask about performance patterns

  • Request external market research

  • Get duration recommendations

  • Validate against campaign goals
