Tired of playing the guessing game?

What if you could predict exactly where your DOOH ads will make the biggest impact, before you even launch your campaign? Imagine knowing not just who your audience is, but where they’ll be and when they’re most likely to see your message. With Locala’s Panel Optimizer, this vision is now a reality. Our new feature delivers real-time, data-driven scoring, empowering you to place your ads with precision and maximize the reach of every campaign.

From Challenges to Innovation: The Story of the Panel Optimizer

In a world where consumers are constantly on the move, knowing exactly when and where to place your ads is crucial. But without precise targeting, too many DOOH ads end up in locations where a significant portion of the audience may not be relevant or interested in the message. It’s like casting a super wide net, and then just hoping to catch the right fish, often coming up empty.

The Panel Optimizer addresses this challenge by scoring each DOOH panel based on your audience’s Opportunity to See (OTS). This means you can pinpoint high-impact panels and times, helping you make more informed decisions about your media spend. No more guesswork, just clear, actionable insights that optimize your reach and boost campaign performance.

How the Panel Optimizer Works:
The Panel Optimizer simplifies the complexities of DOOH buying with three key capabilities:

  • Who: Identify the areas with the highest concentration of your ideal audience using advanced sociodemographic data.
  • Where: Pinpoint the exact panels and inventory types that align with where your audience is most likely to be.
  • When: Leverage real-time passerby data to serve your ads at optimal times, maximizing their visibility and impact.

Step 1: Select Your Audience

With Locala’s AI-powered Planning tool, we’ll define your audience using sociodemographic data and pinpoint key regions to ensure your ads reach the right people.
