A system coupled to a packet-based network is configured to generate geo-blocks for location-based information services. Each of the geo-blocks corresponds to a geographical region within a geographical area and has at least one border defined by a real-world object. The system is configured to obtain geo data related to real-world objects including transportation routes and natural boundaries in the geographical area, partition the geographical area into initial geo-blocks using the geo data, process a plurality of information requests with respect to at least some of the initial geo-blocks and with respect to initial geo-fences associated with a plurality of points of interests (POIs) to generate entries in one or more databases, and enrich at least some of the initial geo-block with block-level meta data derived from the entries in the one or more databases to form enriched geo-blocks that are highly indicative of location dependent attributes such as intention and demographics.
