A coffee shop in Louisiana doesn&#8217;t need to appear in searches from Washington. If you are offering real estate insurance in the U.K., there&#8217;s not much you can do for a homeowner in Australia or Brazil.<\/p>\n<p>But how significant is audience geography for websites, mobile apps, and SaaS platforms? Should you be paying more attention to the geographical location of your customers? The answer is, \u201cYes, absolutely!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Using audience geography in your target marketing strategy has significant added value and can increase your revenue from more geographical locations.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2>Understanding Your Target Audience: Why Start With Geography?<\/h2>\n<p>Your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.similarweb.com\/blog\/research\/audience-and-brand-building\/target-audience-analysis\/\">target audience<\/a> may be spread all over the world. However, some target market locations have more potential than others, and you need to know where they are. You also need to figure out how to create a presence with your marketing in those regions.<\/p>\n<p>Specifically, you can utilize audience geography on two levels. First, understand your audience better. You can identify types of target audiences and their behavior. Second, it helps to build and develop your target market in specific locations.<\/p>\n<p>The way you display information on your site may depend on the location of your customer audience. For example, you will show prices in US$ if the bulk of your customers is within the U.S., but you may consider adding a \u20ac option if you are also targeting European countries. Numbers, dates, and measures also differ in these regions. And that\u2019s only the tip of the iceberg.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-42274 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.similarweb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/ben-white-gEKMstKfZ6w-unsplash-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"How to use audience geography\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1709\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.similarweb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/ben-white-gEKMstKfZ6w-unsplash-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.similarweb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/ben-white-gEKMstKfZ6w-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.similarweb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/ben-white-gEKMstKfZ6w-unsplash-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.similarweb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/ben-white-gEKMstKfZ6w-unsplash-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.similarweb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/ben-white-gEKMstKfZ6w-unsplash-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.similarweb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/ben-white-gEKMstKfZ6w-unsplash-2048x1367.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>What Does Audience Geography Tell You About Your Market?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>First off, you need to <b>analyze your audience\u2019s geography<\/b> to ensure you reach the right geographical areas. If your product services the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=KVFCnzd68Ts&amp;list=PLVl9bYUeTbFf6jTUnEcg5rPEFvO6mmrVh&amp;index=7\">U.S. auto insurance<\/a> industry, for example, traffic from Spain or Saudi Arabia is not very helpful.<\/li>\n<li>Pinpoint<b> where your best-performing markets are located<\/b> and where you are not hitting your sales targets. Understand where most of your traffic comes from, then correlate the number with your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.similarweb.com\/blog\/ecommerce\/retail-insights\/ecommerce-conversion-optimization\/\">eCommerce conversion rate<\/a> in those areas. If a large percentage of visitors also turn into customers &#8211; bingo!<\/li>\n<li>Get an idea of<b> different behavioral patterns according to region<\/b>. This helps you define audience characteristics for various regions that you can use when you customize your marketing. For example, research shows that when buying products and services online, the majority of consumers accept terms and conditions (T&amp;Cs) without even reading them. Yet, that\u2019s not the case for the German eCommerce market: 82% of Germans will read the terms &amp; conditions of the sale before considering making a purchase.<\/li>\n<li><b>As for the underperforming regions, look into the reasons why<\/b>. Use additional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.similarweb.com\/blog\/research\/business-benchmarking\/benchmarking-engagement-metrics\/\">engagement metrics<\/a> \u2013 such as visit duration, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.similarweb.com\/platforms\/\">mobile vs. desktop<\/a> split, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.similarweb.com\/blog\/research\/market-research\/bounce-rate\/\">bounce rate<\/a> \u2013 to figure out which channels work better than others, and to understand how your competitors are attracting new customers. Use this data to create a plan for optimization and test different possibilities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>3 Things You Can Achieve by Understanding Your Website Audience Geography<\/h2>\n<h3>1) Maximize Your Geographical Reach<\/h3>\n<p><b>Find out how relevant your content is to a specific geographical location. <\/b>Your target marketing strategy likely includes some reference to geographical location. Make sure that you are significant where you need to be.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, understand which search engines and social platforms are the most prominent in the regions you\u2019re interested in. Is mobile far more popular than desktop (as is typically the case in third-world countries like India); or vice versa, are consumers preferring desktop devices due to disruptive events such as COVID-19? What\u2019s the gender distribution of the visitors to your category?

Maybe there is specific software that is not supported for a website you\u2019re interested in partnering up with or competing against. You may need to make amendments accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>After you have investigated which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.similarweb.com\/blog\/marketing\/marketing-strategy\/marketing-channels\/\">marketing channels<\/a> work according to regions, see whether you are using the best marketing mix, or if you need to shift focus.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, check your content according to cultural preferences.

Include geo-specific parameters in your segmentation.<\/li>\n<li>Investigate and run <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.hubspot.com\/marketing\/how-to-do-a-b-testing\">A\/B tests<\/a> to better understand localized search intent. Different keywords will work better in one location than another. Use this valuable information to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.similarweb.com\/blog\/marketing\/seo\/ppc-seo\/\">adapt your SEO strategy and PPC ads<\/a>. To keep your spending low, make sure to use paid ads only where they really bring results.<\/li>\n<li>Use the user acquisition channels that deliver the best results for that geographical area and customize your content regularly.<\/li>\n<li>Once you\u2019ve identified culturally specific consumer trends, you can apply them in becoming locally relevant. Using the information gathered about geographic locations, behavioral patterns, and preferences of a local audience can open doors to new markets.<\/li>\n<li>If you get a sizable amount of visitors from a region you didn\u2019t anticipate, you may have stumbled upon an unexpected growth opportunity.

It usually depends on the importance of a geographical location or country to your business goals and the resources available to you.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Probably the most important component to adapt is the currency. Customers in every region should be able to see prices in their local currency or at least be given the possibility to choose a currency.<\/li>\n<li>Experiment with the use of languages. You can recreate your entire website in French if that\u2019s a primary target market for you. Many companies focus on a few key pages to display in a selection of local languages. Another minimalistic option is to highlight sections relevant to the region, i.e., on a \u201cfind a distributor\u201d option, the relevant country appears in bold.<\/li>\n<li>Adapt visual elements for UX. For example, in some countries, language is read from right to left, which changes the page orientation. Visitors who read pages in these languages are used to starting at the top right and not the top left. This has far-reaching implications for the page layout.<\/li>\n<li>Craft content with a focus on the region or country. Images should match the local landscape, weather, and aesthetic perception. Word-for-word translation will not work; written content may need adaptation to local priorities and cultural differences. If you have a blog, focus on topics that are relevant to the country. (Read more about developing an effective content localization strategy <a href=\"https:\/\/localizejs.com\/articles\/creating-a-content-localization-strategy\">here<\/a>.)<\/li>\n<li>Create special region-specific offers. For example, you can use local holidays &#8211; like China&#8217;s Singles&#8217; Day &#8211; as a lever and offer products that are particularly popular in the region.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure all products offered on your site or app are available in the country. If not, they should not be displayed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Take Your Geo-Targeting a Step Further<\/h2>\n<p>With Similarweb\u2019s analytics software, you can take your geo-targeting to a higher level and optimize it for different types of target markets.
