Abstract
A system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program and a computer-implemented method for a geo-fenced zone of commerce are described. Consistent with some embodiments, the method may include subdividing a geographic area, generating corresponding geo-fences, and presenting the corresponding geo-fences as listings in a navigable online marketplace.
Claims18
A system comprising:
- one or more hardware processor;
- and
- one or more computer-readable mediums storing instructions that;
- when executed by the one or more hardware processors, cause the system to perform operations comprising:
- accessing social network activity of a plurality of users, the social network activity of the plurality of users provided by client devices of the plurality of users and comprising location data describing geographic locations of the client devices;
- determining, based on the location data included in the social network activity of the plurality of users, that a concentration of client devices are located within a geographic location;
- in response to determining that the concentration of client devices are located within the geographic location, automatically generating a geo-fence that encompasses the geographic location;
- determining a cost for delivering targeted content through the geo-fence that encompasses the geographic location based on a property associated with the geo-fence;
- and
- causing display of a listing interface that comprises a presentation of a geo-fence identifier that identifies at least a portion of the geo-fence that encompasses the geographic location determined based on the location data, and the cost for delivering the targeted content through the geo-fence.
