How to Choose the Right Geofencing Company
Use this buyer guide to compare geofencing partners on the data, reporting, attribution, campaign management, and contract terms that determine whether a program can be measured and improved.
A Buyer’s Guide to Geofencing Companies
A geofencing company specializes in location-based digital advertising — drawing virtual boundaries around physical locations and serving targeted ads to mobile devices that enter those boundaries. Unlike a general digital agency that offers geofencing as one of many services, a dedicated partner should demonstrate the technology infrastructure, data partnerships, and attribution methodology needed to run transparent, measurable campaigns.
Before selecting a provider, ask how its location data is validated, whether you can see where your ads ran, how it defines a conversion, and what ongoing campaign management is included. The comparison framework below explains the questions that help buyers evaluate a geofencing company on substance rather than marketing claims.

Geofencing Company FAQ
Common questions about geofencing companies and how they work.
What is a geofencing company?
A geofencing company specializes in location-based digital advertising — drawing virtual boundaries around physical locations and serving targeted ads to mobile devices that enter those boundaries. A dedicated geofencing company has the technology infrastructure, location data partnerships, and attribution methodology to run campaigns that are precise, transparent, and measurable. Mediavision2020 has been a leading geofencing company since 2013, running thousands of campaigns nationwide.
What does a geofencing company do?
A geofencing company handles the complete campaign lifecycle: audience strategy and geofence mapping, programmatic ad buying across 45+ networks, creative trafficking, real-time campaign monitoring, and attribution reporting. Mediavision2020 provides fully managed service — clients don't manage bids or platforms. We handle everything and report results through our ChattaBase dashboard, showing impressions, clicks, ad placements, and verified foot traffic.
How do I choose the best geofencing company?
Evaluate geofencing companies on five criteria: (1) Location data quality — is it TAG certified? (2) Reporting transparency — can you see exactly which sites and apps your ads ran on? (3) Attribution methodology — are store visits verified at the device level or estimated? (4) Ad channel breadth — does it reach mobile, desktop, CTV, and social? (5) Pricing and contract terms — are there hidden fees or long-term lock-ins? Mediavision2020 scores highest across all five.
How much does a geofencing company charge?
Geofencing company pricing is typically based on CPM (cost per 1,000 impressions), ranging from $5–$30 CPM depending on targeting precision and geography. Mediavision2020 offers transparent flat-rate pricing starting at $1,500/month with no hidden fees and no long-term contracts. Campaign cost scales with the number of geofences, target geography, and impression volume.
What industries does a geofencing company serve?
Geofencing companies serve virtually every industry with a physical location or a defined audience that moves through the real world. The highest-ROI verticals include automotive dealerships (competitor conquesting), healthcare and medical aesthetics (patient acquisition), employee recruiting (targeting competitor workplaces), retail (foot traffic driving), events and trade shows (attendee targeting), political campaigns (voter outreach), and banking and financial services (branch and competitor targeting).
What is the difference between a geofencing company and a geofencing platform?
A geofencing platform is a self-serve software tool that lets you set up and manage campaigns yourself. A geofencing company provides fully managed service — strategy, setup, optimization, and reporting are all handled by experienced campaign managers. Mediavision2020 is a geofencing company, not a platform. We believe the complexity of precision location targeting, programmatic bidding, and attribution requires expert management to deliver consistent ROI.
How long has Mediavision2020 been a geofencing company?
Mediavision2020 was founded in 2013 — making us one of the oldest and most experienced geofencing companies in the United States. We have been running geofencing campaigns for over 13 years, long before most digital agencies knew what geofencing was. That depth of operational experience translates directly into better campaign performance for our clients.
