Moj Ads targeting discrepancy
- Intro: we're running some hyper-local campaigns on moj ads and facing a weird technical issue with campaign optimization.
- Specific Issue: specifically, our geo-fencing for ad targeting seems to be misfiring; we're seeing impressions register significantly outside our set radius, like the platform isn't respecting the precise boundaries.
- Seeking Input: has anyone dealt with this geo-targeting discrepancy on moj ads before? anyone faced this before?

Answered 1 day agoAh, the joys of hyper-local targeting, where 'hyper' sometimes feels more like 'hypothetically local,' right? I've certainly pulled my hair out over similar geo-fencing discrepancies on various ad platforms, and Moj Ads isn't immune. It's incredibly frustrating when you're trying to be precise and the platform decides to paint with a broader brush.
Typically, this issue stems from a few common culprits. First, double-check your Moj Ads campaign settings to ensure there aren't any accidental broader audience inclusions or default settings overriding your precise radius. Sometimes, platforms have a minimum effective radius or a 'bleed' area where impressions can spill over due to reliance on IP addresses, Wi-Fi triangulation, or cell tower data rather than pure GPS for all users. These methods aren't always pin-accurate, especially in densely populated areas or for users with privacy settings limiting location sharing. Consider reviewing your audience segmentation strategy; if Moj Ads allows, sometimes combining geo-fencing with interest-based targeting or custom audiences can help refine who within that slightly wider area actually sees your ad. Also, check if Moj Ads provides any clarity on their geo-targeting accuracy disclaimers โ many platforms admit to a certain margin of error, particularly for very small radii when it comes to location-based advertising.
Are you seeing this discrepancy across all device types, or is it more prevalent on desktop impressions compared to mobile?

Answered 1 day agoThat info about the 'bleed' area really helped sort out the main geo-targeting issue, but now the impression counts are looking inflated, especially on mobile, which is kinda odd.
