Location Target Types
You can specify targeted locations in various different formats and granularity. Every value has to be separated by | (vertical bar).
- Country:
United States - Region:
- Province:
Locations that include metropolitan areas - City:
Seattle, Washington, United States - Postal Code:
60613 - Latitude: The location's latitude in the digital format. Google Ads rounds to the nearest 100th. For example,
37.42(37 degrees, 25 minutes, 12 seconds, north). - Longitude: The location's longitude in the digital format. Google Ads rounds to the nearest 100th. For example,
-122.09(122 degrees, 5 minutes, 24 seconds, west). - Location Radius (proximity target): The radius around the location. Enter a number in this column and the unit in Location Radius Units. For example, enter 5.0 in this column to specify a 5 mile or kilometer radius.
- Location Radius Units: The unit of measurement for the radius specified in the Location Radius column. Enter
mifor miles andkmfor kilometers. - Location bid adjustment %: The amount to adjust bids. For example, enter 5 to increase bids by 5%. You can enter an adjustment from -90 to 900. A negative adjustment decreases the bid. A value of 0 makes no adjustment to the default bid.
You can change the value in each location-targeting column to the following:
- empty
When you edit an existing campaign and leave a column empty, Search Ads 360 keeps the current setting as is (that is, an empty value means “do not change”). When you create a new campaign and leave all of these columns empty, the campaign targets all locations, which is the Google Ads default.
To automatically adjust the max CPC bids by location target, specify a bid adjustment percentage; enter the desired location targets and separate the bid adjustment percentage with a semicolon (;). - remove_value
Removes any previously specified location targets from the column. For example, if you specify remove_value in the Location column, the campaign no longer targets the previously specified location. Removing your location target entirely will result in the campaign returning to the Google Ads default setting of targeting all countries.
- (inherited)
For ad groups only. Because ads groups always inherit location targets, the location target columns are read-only and always display (inherited).
