Powerful Targeting Features: A number of users praised the powerful targeting feature offered by GroundTruth.

We began using GroundTruth as a way of targeting users of competing businesses for a new venture we were beginning. It's very niche, with a hard-to-target audience for other forms of advertising, so a campaign utilizing a geofence of competitor locations was perfect for what we want to achieve. We then started using it as a way to announce our presence at trade shows, targeting people within a very small radius at the location of the show or convention and letting them know where we were presenting.
  • Excellent CPM
  • Optimizes delivery when given multiple creatives
  • Good customer service
  • The ads manager can be a bit confusing at times
  • Hard to find invoices outside of email, would love to have an account access panel
  • E-mail reminders of when campaigns are scheduled to end.
It's fantastic for targeting an audience when you know where they will be for a very low CPM. However, it's hard if you are a brick-and-mortar and want to truly measure the results. You need to get creative in ways to attribute site visits and purchases back to the campaign (unique coupon codes, etc.)
  • Self service
  • Narrow targeting
  • It was a wonderful "get the word out" tool for a new initiative.
GroundTruth was recommended to us by a vendor and was the only product we evaluated

GroundTruth is a great product and platform for digital advertising. There are a variety of uses for this exchange, and it helps us stay above the curve in digital products. GroundTruth enables us to launch full campaigns with detailed targeting within 20 minutes. As I continue to explore and use the program I am confident that the time it takes to launch campaigns will decrease as well.
  • Launch digital ads campaigns
  • Change creatives and rollout campaigns in minutes
  • Target specific user personas for great conversions
  • There is a learning curve to GroundTruth. The UI/UX can be improved further
  • Bounce rates are high due to mobile only campaigns
  • Updating creatives can be time consuming sometimes. Some customisable default templates should be provided for easier use.
Starting to work with more clients on targeted Advertising and geofencing. The platform is simple to use, guides through the process and has excellent reporting features. GroundTruth can login and setup a campaign which can run the next day itself. Their Excel sheets are very difficult to use and it's impossible to upload bulk locations into this campaign. It can take several business days to setup a 200 point campaign because the mass upload isn't good in my opinion.
  • Setting up campaign and creatives
  • Decide the target audience
  • Bulk upload locations into the campaigns using CSV
  • Helps improve conversion by 20%
  • Time to create and rollout campaigns is reduced by half
  • Help optimise and rationalise the operational overheads and costs
The customisable pricing of GroudTruth as per the campaigns size and frequency made us choose it. This helped optimise the cost for us. GroundTruth was referred to us by some consultants. So positive word of mouth was there. GrondTruth business team was easily approachable and helped us understand the pricing plans and the tool usability in the first meeting itself with relevant demos.
