Yelp Tries Custom Audiences Push in Bid For Facebook, Google Ad Dollars
Posted in: Uncategorized
Marketers can now reach Yelp users on apps and websites that aren’t operated by Yelp.
The business-review site partnered with data management platform LiveRamp to make the location and search activity for its 100 million users available to advertisers. The move allows marketers to create custom audience segments in similar fashion to Facebook and its Audience Network.
With Yelp Local Audiences, advertisers will now be able to isolate data segments based on categories like brand interest or attributes as well as geographical data, said Drew Canniff, regional VP of agency sales at Yelp. People who search for car dealerships, or restaurants based on price, for example, can be carved out into segments.
