Many online advertising services offer targeted marketing opportunities. There are two primary ways to do this: targeted ad services, and advertising in targeted publications. Targeted ad services, like AdSense, operate on the same keyword principles as SEO. This means that when a potential client types certain keywords into a search engine, ads that match those keywords appear as part of the search results page. The other option is to advertise in specific publications. Many cities and neighborhoods have news publications that provide information about the local economy and business activity. Other options might include a Chamber of Commerce digital business listing or a “Buy Local” business association.
