Indie Ads Manager allows you to target ad items or campaigns to specific groups of viewers based on information about them. Geographic and platform targets are easy to set up, while keyword targeting lets you define highly specific criteria.

Geographic Targeting

Geographic targeting looks at the viewer's IP address to determine their location. You can create multiple geographic presents, and each preset can include multiple countries. You can even specify cities in many of the listed countries. You must define a geographic target in the Targeting section before you can apply it to an assignment.

Platform Targeting

Platform targeting allows you to target users based on their device type, operating system, or even their web browser. You can target multiple devices at once (i.e. all mobile devices) or only one kind (i.e. the iPhone 12). You must define a platform target in the Targeting section before you can apply it to the assignment.

Keywords Targeting

Keyword targeting is a powerful tool that allows you to restrict ads based on the inclusion or exclusion of certain words or phrases in the publisher's webpage or URL. You can also use the publisher's ID as a keyword. You can enter keyword targets right in the assignment page, but you can also create presets for convenience.
