Laser-Focus on Your Target Audience with Advanced Location Targeting Controls
Growing frustrated with junk traffic wasting your advertising dollars? Let’s say you run a pest control business in California. In that case, if you have set your target location as “California,” then your ads will be visible to people based in California, who regularly visit California and also who use terms like “pest control california” or “pest control agency california.”
But what if you don’t want to target the ones who are showing interest and just want to present your ads in front of people based in California?
Or what if you want to exclude a few locations?
Google’s Advanced Location Targeting Controls allow advertisers to be precise with their targeting. You’ll see the following location targeting options while setting up your Performance Max campaign:
As clearly visible, the target location has been set as “United States” and the target as “Presence: People in or regularly in your targeted locations.” This means – even if people based in Asia or Europe are using the term “United States” behind the target keyword, then the ads will not be displayed in front of them.
At the same time, you can even enter locations to exclude.
