Mobile Tactics Mobile search
How Is Mobile Search Different From Online Search? • For the 40%+ with smart phones, it often isn’t • Most online search campaigns show up on mobile web/app searches as well • Like online marketing, it begins and ends with Search! • Optimize site for local and mobile search
Before You Plan A Mobile-Only Display Campaign } 5-7% IOS Android All of a campaign’s impressions will naturally serve on tablets or mobile phone devices “Other” devices include any device with a browser (xbox, blu ray player, iTV browser, etc.) but tend to encompass miniscule impression volumes in 2012
The Dream Of Mobile Is Simple • Identify a user at the right place at the right time, and serve them your ad! Joe’s Tacos Come get some tacos!
Mobile Geo-Targeting Is In Its Infancy • Let’s separate fact from fiction, dreams from reality • Determining a phone’s location is determined by three key variables • Connection type: Wifi vs. 3G/4G • OS (iOS, Android, etc) • Lat/Long inclusion and trustworthiness
Connection Type Is The Biggest Variable • Same location accuracy as online • 10-15 mile radius • Geo must be passed from mobile carrier • AT&T, Verizon, etc. • Accuracy varies widely
Device Connection Probabilities Cisco Internet Business Solutions Group, 2012 ~64.5% of mobile connectivity is via the mobile network
The Real Story Of The Mobile Carrier Network • Sitting in Plano, TX on WiFi, I went to IPlocation.net • A good site provides results from four sources • Then I hopped off WiFi and onto Verizon’s 4G • Then I restarted my phone be assigned a new IP address and test it again • Here are the results as four IP geo-targeting providers see them
Mobile Geo-Targeting Results: WiFi I’m on WiFi Dallas – eh, about 12 miles off Plano – right on Plano – right on Plano – right on Of the two lat/longs provided, one is about 10 miles away, the other is less than a mile
Mobile Geo-Targeting Results: Mobile Network • On mobile carrier network • Outstanding – 20 miles away • Outstanding – 15 miles away • Very far away – we’ll come back to this • It has no idea
Mobile Geo-Targeting Results: Mobile Network, Take II • On mobile carrier network • Still good – about 40 miles away • Poor – 1,100 miles away • Also far – we’ll come back to this • It has no idea
The OS As A Variable In Providing Lat/Long “Master settings” in phone – Lat/Long is all or nothing Android: 51% Other: 6% App by App – Apple approves first, then user iOS: 43% As of 4/13
Lat/Long Values In The Ad Call No lat/long: 20% Lat/long value passed: 80% Source: Metaresolver and PlaceIQ As of 4/13
Wow, 80% Give Me Exact Lat/Long?Not quite Actual lat/ long: 10% of original 100% False lat/long: 70% of original 100% Source: Metaresolver and PlaceIQ As of 4/13
Coming Back To What “Far Away” Is The geographic center of the U.S.
At Least There’s Fraud DetectionIt’s Just Not All That Great 49% of false lat/long values are caught, then default to carrier location 21% of lat/longs go undetected as false Source: PlaceIQ As of 4/13
Conclusion: A User Is Walking Down The Street… Accurate to country level, less so to state or DMA (73%) We got ‘em! (6%) Likely country-accurate (21%) Source: Data aggregation from previous slides
So, Why Would I Buy Into Mobile At ALL? Lots Of Reasons
The Case For Mobile • It’s >10% of eyeball time • Imperfect doesn’t mean “avoid at all costs” Source: Mary Meeker D10 Presentation, Morgan Stanley, 2012
The Case For Mobile • Online “in-view” ranges from 40-65% • Mobile in-app is 100% • Online web pages have between 3 and “more than a dozen” ads on them • In-app is typically 1 – 100% share of screen or SOV on the page • Engagement can be higher • While half of mobile clicks are likely mistaken, CTRs on mobile are often .3%+ • Not to say “CTR is back” but it shows the novelty of mobile advertising still captures active attention
The Case For Mobile • It’s cheap • Even cheaper than online • So, at $3.00 CPMs, ‘waste’ is a relative term! • If we can hit an ROI or brand goal, it’s a success!
Conclusions • DMA accuracy will vary, and we won’t know until we try • Even with the geographic waste there is enough upside compared to other media to “even it out” • Tablet and phone are totally different channels – don’t lump them together as “mobile” • Geo-fencing is silliness • Now you know and you can tell your clients the truth, which other vendors clearly are not
