Contextual and targeted advertising work on fundamentally different principles, and understanding this difference can help save up to 40% of your marketing budget. Choosing the right tool is the foundation of a strategy designed to maximize return on investment (ROI).
Although the approaches are different, both tools rely on smart algorithms and artificial intelligence. We don’t just select an audience — we create an “ideal customer profile” that the algorithm uses to find similar people among millions of users. With contextual advertising, we respond to an already-formed search query (when someone is actively searching for “buy…”). With targeted advertising, we create that demand by addressing people’s pain points and needs before they even enter anything into a search engine.
