Features

Creation: PlaceLocal automatically creates unique display ads for local advertisers. Type in any local business and PlaceLocal gets to work, searching the web for relevant information, reviews, and photos to use in the ad. Within seconds, your ad is designed, ready to be tweaked or ordered.

Ordering: Ads can be created and booked on your site with just a few clicks. Partners have access to a branded account to easily book and manage all ads.

Targeting: PlaceLocal will even suggest the most relevant sections of your site to target the ad. It knows what type of business an advertiser is, and can tailor ad placement and targeting accordingly for better performance.

Serving: PlaceLocal is a hosted solution — all ads are hosted by PaperG and can be served through standard ad servers or directly from your site. Technical integration involves only copying a couple of lines of code.

Testimonial - Time Out Magazine

“Often local clients don't have creative assets at their disposal. PlaceLocal makes the ads much more accessible to local clients with smaller budgets. Instead of sending customers a rate card, I send them an ad that the program has built. It's easier to sell ads if customers have an example in front of them.”
