Location Targeting

  • Location targeting allows you to serve ads to users in specific geographical areas, preventing wasted ad spend in irrelevant regions and enabling direct targeting of local customers.

  • Geo targeting campaigns for a region can be done using a Criterion ID, which uniquely identifies each targetable location and can be looked up using GeoTargetConstantService.SuggestGeoTargetConstants.

  • You can also look up location criterion IDs by location name using GeoTargetConstantService.SuggestGeoTargetConstants.

  • Proximity targeting allows you to target areas within a specified radius of a specific geographical point using a ProximityInfo object.

  • Geo targets can be retrieved using GoogleAdsService.SearchStream, updated by comparing existing and new targets, and excluded by setting the negative field to true for LocationInfo objects.

This guide describes location targeting, and how you can use the Google Ads API to add, retrieve, and update location targeting for your campaigns.

For information about targeting limits, see the Targeting Limits section of About Google Ads account limits.

Why is geo-targeting important?

Location targeting lets you serve ads to users in a particular geographical region. For example, assume you're advertising for a chain of supermarkets. Without location targeting, your ads would show in all regions worldwide, and your ads might receive clicks from users in regions where you have no supermarket locations. This generates cost while providing no possibility of a return on the investment. With location targeting, your campaigns show ads only in regions where you have open supermarkets. This approach also lets you directly target customers searching locally for supermarkets.

The Google Ads API lets you target your ads by country, region, or proximity around a specific geographical point.

Learn more about Targeting ads to geographic locations.

Geo-target campaigns for a region

You can target campaigns to any geographical region for which Google Ads supports location targeting, such as a country, a state, a city, or a postal region. Each targetable location is uniquely identified by a Criterion ID. You can look up a criterion ID using GeoTargetConstantService.SuggestGeoTargetConstants. The resource_name of each GeoTargetConstant is of the form geoTargetConstants/{Criterion ID}. For example, the resource_name value of New York state is geoTargetConstants/21167.

You can add geo targets to your campaigns using the CampaignCriterionService. The following code snippet shows how to target your campaign with a criterion ID.

Java

private static CampaignCriterion buildLocationIdCriterion(
    long locationId, String campaignResourceName) {
  Builder criterionBuilder = CampaignCriterion.newBuilder().setCampaign(campaignResourceName);

  criterionBuilder
      .getLocationBuilder()
      .setGeoTargetConstant(ResourceNames.geoTargetConstant(locationId));

  return criterionBuilder.build();
}
AddCampaignTargetingCriteria.java

C#

private CampaignCriterion buildLocationCriterion(long locationId,
    string campaignResourceName)
{
    GeoTargetConstantName location = new GeoTargetConstantName(locationId.ToString());
    return new CampaignCriterion()
    {
        Campaign = campaignResourceName,
        Location = new LocationInfo()
        {
            GeoTargetConstant = location.ToString()
        }
    };
}

Google may occasionally phase out some location criteria for various reasons: the location may be restructured into smaller or larger areas, geo-political changes, etc. Refer to the status field of a GeoTargetConstant object to determine if a location is ENABLED or REMOVAL_PLANNED.

Look up by location name

You can also look up the criterion ID by location name using GeoTargetConstantService.SuggestGeoTargetConstants. The following code example shows how to look up a location criterion ID by location name.

Java

  try (GeoTargetConstantServiceClient geoTargetClient =
      googleAdsClient.getLatestVersion().createGeoTargetConstantServiceClient()) {

    SuggestGeoTargetConstantsRequest.Builder requestBuilder =
        SuggestGeoTargetConstantsRequest.newBuilder();

    // Locale is using ISO 639-1 format. If an invalid locale is given, 'en' is used by default.
    requestBuilder.setLocale("en");

    // A list of country codes can be referenced here:
    // https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/reference/data/geotargets
    requestBuilder.setCountryCode("FR");

    requestBuilder
        .getLocationNamesBuilder()
        .addAllNames(ImmutableList.of("Paris", "Quebec", "Spain", "Deutschland"));

    SuggestGeoTargetConstantsResponse response =
        geoTargetClient.suggestGeoTargetConstants(requestBuilder.build());

    for (GeoTargetConstantSuggestion suggestion :
        response.getGeoTargetConstantSuggestionsList()) {

Target campaigns for proximity to a location

There are times when you might want to target even more precisely than a city or country. For example, you may want to advertise your supermarkets within 10 kilometers of your shop location. In such cases, you can use proximity targeting. The code to create a proximity target is similar to adding a location target, except that you have to create a ProximityInfo object instead of a LocationInfo object.

Java

private static CampaignCriterion buildProximityLocation(String campaignResourceName) {
  Builder builder = CampaignCriterion.newBuilder().setCampaign(campaignResourceName);

  ProximityInfo.Builder proximityBuilder = builder.getProximityBuilder();
  proximityBuilder.setRadius(10.0).setRadiusUnits(ProximityRadiusUnits.MILES);

  AddressInfo.Builder addressBuilder = proximityBuilder.getAddressBuilder();
  addressBuilder
      .setStreetAddress("38 avenue de l'Opéra")
      .setCityName("Paris")
      .setPostalCode("75002")
      .setCountryCode("FR");

  return builder.build();
}

Retrieve geo-targets

You can retrieve the geo targets for a campaign using the GoogleAdsService.SearchStream. You can filter your results in the WHERE clause.

SELECT
  campaign_criterion.campaign,
  campaign_criterion.location.geo_target_constant,
  campaign_criterion.proximity.geo_point.longitude_in_micro_degrees,
  campaign_criterion.proximity.geo_point.latitude_in_micro_degrees,
  campaign_criterion.proximity.radius,
  campaign_criterion.negative
FROM campaign_criterion
WHERE
  campaign_criterion.campaign = 'customers/{customer_id}/campaigns/{campaign_id}'
  AND campaign_criterion.type IN (LOCATION, PROXIMITY)

Update geo-targets

To update location targets for a campaign, you need to retrieve the list of existing geo targets and compare it with the list of new targets. You can then use the remove operation to remove the targets you don't need, and the create operation to add the new geo targets you need (but are missing in the existing campaign).

Exclude geo-targets

You can also exclude LocationInfo, but not ProximityInfo. This feature is most useful if you want to target a region, but exclude a sub-region (for example, to target the entire United States, except for New York City). To exclude a region, set the negative field in CampaignCriterion to be true.

Target multiple geographic regions

Using a LocationGroupInfo, you can enable a campaign to target multiple geographic regions. A region is centered on the locations defined by the location extensions of the campaign.

The radius defined on the LocationGroupInfo ascribes a circular region around each location, and consists of a radius object, length, and radius_units, which can be either meters or miles (LocationGroupRadiusUnitsEnum).

The locations in a LocationGroupInfo can be filtered by a list of geotargeting criterion IDs prescribed in the geo_target_constant field. If defined, no locations that exist outside of the given criteria IDs will be targeted.

Beyond specifying locations to target or exclude, you can refine how Google Ads matches users to these locations using advanced location options. These settings are managed through Campaign.GeoTargetTypeSetting.

This setting consists of two fields:

  • positive_geo_target_type: Determines how users are matched for locations you target.
  • negative_geo_target_type: Determines how users are matched for locations you exclude.

Positive targeting settings (positive_geo_target_type)

You can choose from the following options for your positive location targeting, using values from the PositiveGeoTargetTypeEnum:

  1. PRESENCE_OR_INTEREST (Recommended Default):

    • Reaches people who are likely to be in, or regularly in, your targeted locations, PLUS people who have shown interest in your targeted locations.
    • Interest can be signaled by search terms, past visits, or content consumed related to the location.
    • This option provides the broadest reach.

  2. PRESENCE:

    • Reaches only people who are likely to be physically located or regularly in your targeted locations.
    • This is more restrictive and useful if your services or products are strictly limited to people physically present in an area.

Note: Other values like SEARCH_INTEREST are deprecated and no longer settable for most campaign types.

Negative targeting settings (negative_geo_target_type)

For locations you want to exclude, you use the NegativeGeoTargetTypeEnum:

  1. PRESENCE (Recommended Default):
    • Excludes people who are likely to be physically located in the locations you've excluded.
    • People outside the excluded areas, even if interested in them, may still see your ads, provided they match your positive targeting.

Note: The PRESENCE_OR_INTEREST value is generally not supported for negative geotargeting in most campaign types.

Manage advanced location options

You can control these settings by updating the Campaign.geo_target_type_setting object.

Example: Setting a campaign to target by PRESENCE only

Here's a conceptual example of how you might structure an API call to modify the positive_geo_target_type. The exact code will vary based on the client library language.

// Conceptual structure for a Campaign update operation
operations {
  update {
    resource_name: "customers/{customer_id}/campaigns/{campaign_id}"
    geo_target_type_setting {
      positive_geo_target_type: PRESENCE
      // negative_geo_target_type remains at its default PRESENCE if not specified
    }
  }
  update_mask {
    paths: "geo_target_type_setting.positive_geo_target_type"
  }
}

To fetch the current settings, include campaign.geo_target_type_setting.positive_geo_target_type and campaign.geo_target_type_setting.negative_geo_target_type in your GoogleAdsService search query.

By configuring these settings, you gain more granular control over who sees your ads based on their relationship to the geographic locations you've specified, aligning more closely with your business goals.
