Abstract
A system and method is disclosed for automatically configure a webpage to display a geographically focused internet offering. An interactive map is configured to, when displayed in a web browser, automatically detect one or more online marketing components associated with a currently displayed webpage. On an initial display or user-repositioning of the interactive map, the map transmits a geographic location displayed on the map to the marketing components. Each marketing component then displays one or more offerings related to the displayed area of interest.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for automatically configuring a webpage to display a geographically focused interne offering, comprising:
- providing, using one or more computing devices, an interactive map for display in connection with a currently displayed website;
- automatically detecting one or more online marketing components associated with the currently displayed website, the one or more marketing components being separated from the interactive map and configured to display one or more offerings based on geographic information;
- on an initial display or user-repositioning of the interactive map, providing, to at least one of the one or more marketing components, using the one or more computing devices, geographic information for an area of interest displayed on the interactive map;
- and
- displaying, by the at least one marketing component, one or more offerings related the area of interest displayed on the interactive map.
A machine-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed, cause a machine to perform a method of displaying a geographically focused internet offering, the method comprising:
- providing a marketing component to a webpage, the marketing component configured to display, in a web browser, one or more offerings related to the webpage and, when available, geographic information;
- automatically detecting an interactive map displayed in connection with the webpage;
- receiving from the interactive map, on an initial display or user-repositioning of the interactive map, geographic information related to an area of interest displayed on the interactive map;
- and
- displaying, on the currently displayed webpage, one or more offerings related to the area of interest.
A system, comprising:
- one or more first processors;
- and
- a first memory, the first memory including first server instructions thereon that, when executed, by the one or more first processors, cause map instructions to be provided to a web browser located on a client device, the map instructions, when executed by the client device, facilitate causing the client device to:
- display an interactive map on a currently displayed webpage,
- automatically detect the presence of one or more online marketing components displayed by the currently displayed webpage, and
- on an initial display or user-repositioning of the interactive map, provide, to the one or more online marketing components, an area of interest displayed on the interactive map.
