An easier way to create locally-relevant ads for all your locations

4 min read

Summary

Local awareness ads have been updated to help businesses with multiple locations create hyper-local ads automatically. Using Locations for Pages, advertisers can dynamically populate city names and CTAs in ad copy, so people see relevant messages like “Join us for lunch in Menlo Park.” Targeting is simplified by selecting stores and a radius around each. Per-location ad reports reveal which stores perform best, enabling efficient budget allocation.

Additionally, a new Local insights tab in Page Insights shows nearby aggregate demographics (age, gender, local vs. tourist) and busy days/times, helping businesses tailor marketing. Advertisers can also see the percentage of nearby people who saw their ad, aiding in effectiveness measurement.

Most businesses underestimate how ready they are for TikTok | TikTok For Business Blog

TikTok's UK/Europe scale (30M+ UK, 200M+ EU) and content graph make category objections obsolete. For ad ops, success comes from relevance, not trends: proof-led demos, explainers, reviews, and problem-solving content can reach high-intent audiences without a large follower base. Case studies show material performance: Toyota CPA -38%, BCP 10x registrations, Randstad 2.81% CTR/17M impressions, Prep Kitchen +44% conversion and +374% orders with Smart+, PureGym CPA -77%, HydroClean cost per conversation -74%. Action: test utility/creator content, use Smart+ for scaled creative testing, layer TopView on trusted content, and target niche communities rather than broad reach.

Measure installs across more app stores | Adjust

Adjust has expanded store detection and verification across multiple app storefronts, making Store Type the primary dimension for identifying where an install originated rather than relying on platform or OS alone. For ad ops teams, this means campaign performance can now be analyzed at the store level across Huawei AppGallery, Xiaomi GetApps, Samsung Galaxy Store, Vivo Appstore, and Google Play variants, with independent verification of install origin. Newly detected stores are flagged in AppView with a direct route to configuration, and store-level data flows automatically into reporting, raw data, callbacks, and CSV exports, plus Conversion Rules via Store Rule conditions.
