Geographic Targeting

NYC Metro Zip Codes

Precision targeting based on documented buyer origins. Upper East Side specifically cited in owner interviews; Brooklyn drove pandemic surge.

Intent-Based Targeting

Layered Targeting Strategy

We don't target r/nyc broadly—that's too unfocused. Instead, we target NYC zip codes when users are in vacation rental mindset subreddits.

THE FORMULA: [NYC Metro Zip Codes] + [Intent Subreddits] + [Relevant Keywords]

Reach NYC residents when they're thinking about vacation rentals, not when they're browsing local news.
