Local ads sales
before Smart Ads
Local advertisers don't book digital ads on the news site and stay either print-only or use Facebook & Meta for their digital advertising needs.
Local Advertisers are overwhelmed by the challenge of building good banners, landing pages and understanding complex digital media kits built for digital natives.
Local Advertisers are shocked by low click-rates "CTR" of ~0,1% which for them mainly conveys that 99,9% of people haven't clicked their ads
Low (programmatic) CPMs for publishers and complex processes leave money on the table as this  requires digital campaigns to be above a certain threshold of e.g. $500 which is too much for many small advertisers.
