Abstract

Methods and systems are provided for delivering location-based services, wherein the location-based services may include storing data defining a plurality of physical locations and a plurality of geofences associated with the physical locations, monitoring a current location of a user device, comparing the current location of the user device with each of the geofences, and determining based on the comparison that the current location of the user device is within a particular geofence. Rankings are assigned to the physical locations associated with the particular geofence based on various criteria, including, for example, distances between the user device and the physical locations, user interactions with the physical locations, user preferences, demographics, or consumer purchase history. User-selectable icons corresponding to the physical locations are output at the user device, wherein the positions of the user-selectable icons in an interface are determined based on the assigned rankings.
