Competitive advantage


POIdo is the world's first LBA platform that creates a competitive marketplace where the price of advertising is determined by the market (advertisers compete for ad visibility).

 

POIdo is the world's first LBA platform where virtual billboards can be placed at optimal locations, not just the business location.

 

POIdo provides API for both advertisers and publishers, allowing development of innovative applications with location-aware monetization/advertising built in.

 

POIdo is one of the few LBA platforms not violating Google's LBA patent.
