Conducts an evaluation:
Programmatic Advertising performs a data-based evaluation. Hence the software allows you to put forth your ads in front of the audience, selected based on some parameters.

And target only those who have products similar to your business in their social media accounts and all.
Another example is of geographic targeting maybe; suppose you own a business for heavy and warm clothes and heat-trapping blankets and quilts, etc. Then, your right audience will be those living in locations where snowfall is common or in wherein winters the chills are extreme.
DSP Platforms provides target options:
Second, in the line, comes the process of targeting the audience with the help of keywords. These happen with the help of what is known as the Demand Side Platform abbreviated as DSP. This DSP helps you in choosing proper keywords.

Such that when she browses those pages, your ad immediately gets visible, through which you may also get to generate leads and sales.
