Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, including a method that comprises: determining excess queries for a target geographic feature, where the geographic feature defines a location; determining one or more candidate geographic features that have similar excess queries, but displaced in time; determining a time offset between the target geographic feature and a candidate geographic feature based on the displacement in time of the similar excess queries; and targeting content to the candidate geographic feature using the time offset and based on content targeted to the target geographic feature.
