Geofarmed audience overview

Geofarmed audiences include people who’ve visited specific geographic locations that you define, whether on-premises or in proximity of the point of interest. Users are added to the audience based on their proximity to those locations within the date range and at the frequency you choose.

All locations in a Geofarmed audience share an “OR” relationship, so a user only needs to visit one of them to qualify.

The following Geofarmed audience types are supported:

  • Specialty

  • Political

  • Healthcare (Healthcare Professional [HCP], Nurse, Non-NPI Nurse, Generic)

Refer to Geofarmed audience overview for more information and eligibility criteria.
