Contextual targeting

Contextual display is high impact, cookie-less advertising, aligned with your consumers’ mindset.

Resonate with your ideal audience and drive your brand recall with beautiful display ads in relevant publisher environments:

  • Boost click-through-rates and conversions with contextual targeting
  • Show your promotions alongside complementary content, targeting people at the right time and while they are in the right mindset
  • Provide a seamless experience to users – your message will be relevant to their current online behaviour, not past search behaviour

What is contextual advertising and how does it work?

Contextual targeting or contextual advertising will place your ad on a website that contains content that is relevant to your ad.

For example, a package holiday provider will have much more success in placing their ads on websites that contain reviews or information relating to specific destinations. An automotive retailer will get much more bang for their buck by showing their ads to users who are reading the reviews of the latest car models. A food retailer will drive better engagement and conversions by placing ads next to recipes, as opposed to clothes.

With so much content online and so many websites dedicated to specific niches, contextual advertising works for any business.

A brand safe environment that builds affinity with the right consumers

The user has actively searched for, found and taken their time to view the content on the webpage. Clearly, they are interested in that topic and a more interested audience means better click-throughs and conversions. By showing a related advert, you’re engaging with people at a key moment, creating awareness and consideration about your product or service. Marketers know timing is crucial and a key benefit of contextual targeting, is that it uses active behaviour, not past search behaviour.

A targeting solution that doesn’t use cookies

A huge advantage of contextual advertising is that it doesn’t use third-party cookies, instead it uses on-page data, relying on metadata like keywords and website linguistic content. With third-party cookie deprecation and consumer attitudes to privacy shifting, marketers can use this cookieless targeting option to overcome these challenges. Without being invasive, brands can use compelling data to target and personalise their advertising messages to the right consumers based on people’s current online activity.
