Contextual targeting relies on intent-based marketing, meaning that consumers are targeting based on why they would be looking at that webpage or video. It shows user area of interest, increasing the chance of receiving a response.
Consumers who were targeted at the contextual level were 83% more likely to recommend the product or service in the ad, than those targeted at the audience or channel level.
