Edit Geo-Targeting Criteria
On the Geo-Targeting page, you can edit your geo-targeting criteria for this campaign. Geo-targeting allows you to target your ads to potential customers located or interested in particular geographic areas within the market selected for your account.2 For example, if your business sells real estate within the state of California and you select California as a geo-targeted region, your ads may be shown to potential customers located in California who search on your keywords, as well as to search users who may be located outside of California but enter search terms that contain your keyword and the geo-modifier “California.”
To edit your geo-targeting criteria:
- Select “Entire Market” if you would like traffic from across the country or multi-country region in which you are advertising.
- Select “Specific Regions” if you would like to specify a specific geographic region from which you would like to receive traffic. You will have the option to target by state or city and surrounding area, also known as designated market area (DMA®) in the U.S.3 Once you select an option, a list of areas will be generated along with a map.
- Select the areas you would like to receive traffic from and click the "Save Changes" button.
