What are Asset Types?
Asset types determine how specific your localized image is. There are three levels:| Type | Shows to | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| City | Visitors from a specific city | ”Houston skyline” |
| State | Visitors from anywhere in a state | ”Texas landscape” |
| Sitewide | Everyone (default fallback) | Generic brand image |
How the Fallback Works
When a visitor loads your page:- Visitor from Houston, TX
- City image for Houston exists? → Show it
- No Houston image, but Texas image exists? → Show Texas
- No Texas image? → Show sitewide/original
When to Use Each Type
City-Level Assets
Best for:- Local landmarks and recognizable locations
- City-specific promotions
- Multi-location businesses
State-Level Assets
Best for:- Regional campaigns
- State-specific services
- When city-level is too granular
Sitewide Assets
Best for:- Default/fallback images
- Non-location-specific content
- Brand images that work everywhere
Choosing the Right Type
When generating images, start broad and get more specific:1
Start with Sitewide
Create a default image that works for everyone. This ensures all visitors see something, even if they’re not in your target cities.
2
Add State-level images
Create state-specific images to provide regional coverage. These serve as fallbacks for cities within those states.
3
Add City-specific images
Create targeted images for specific cities with recognizable landmarks or locations. These take priority over state and sitewide images.
