Location targeting lets you choose your target locations to reach out to your customers.
- For each ad campaign, you can select locations where you want your ad to be shown.
- By default, your ads can show to people in, regularly in, or who've shown interest in your targeted locations. For example, if you own a bakery in Paris and choose Paris as a targeted location, your ads can show to people located or regularly in Paris, or to people who have expressed interest in Paris bakeries (now or in the past). Alternatively, you can use other location options to limit the location types you target.
- You can choose locations for your ads to show. For example, you can choose entire countries or areas within a country like cities or territories for your ads to show.
- In a Google Ads account you can choose a radius around a location. You can also choose your Google My Business locations. Google Ads may also suggest related locations that you can choose to target based on your current settings.
- Location targeting helps you focus your advertising to help find the right customers for your business, and will hopefully help you increase your profits as a result.
- Keep in mind that you can also select locations to exclude in your campaigns if you don't want your ads to show in specific regions.

Keep in mind
Location targeting is based on a variety of signals, including users' settings, devices, and behavior on our platform, and is Google’s best effort to serve ads to users who meet your location settings. Because these signals vary, 100% accuracy is not guaranteed in every situation.
As always, you should check your overall performance metrics to help ensure your settings are meeting your advertising goals and change them accordingly.
