        "text": "Geotargeting and geofencing are both location-based marketing strategies, but they differ in approach. Geotargeting delivers content or ads based on a user's general location (e.g., city, state, or zip code) determined by IP address or profile data. Geofencing, however, uses more precise GPS or RFID technology to create a virtual boundary around a specific physical area. When a user enters or exits this defined zone, it triggers a pre-set action, such as sending a notification or ad. Geofencing is often more immediate and hyper-local.",
