What is geo targeting? How can it help my campaign?

Geo targeting can help your business zoom in and promote your message to as small as a 16km radius. This is great news for local driving instructors, dog minders and business that physically covers and services a small region. In addition to state by state targeting - geo targeting lets AdWords users send their advert to a 'bunch' of computers based on postcodes. While a 'clean line' is not going to be possible - Google settings can use local individual IP addresses and exchange settings to run your advert where it works the best.

Did you know you can also exclude areas within a state?

In addition to geo targeting - you can exclude areas. For example - a current NSW customer of mine provides a service in many areas around NSW - but not all. So using a reverse application of the geo targeting - Google allows us to exclude certain areas from receiving the adverts. This means the customer budget goes further and gets better value - by applying their advertising spend only to areas where they deliver service. A generic search in a neighbouring town can be excluded - saving the click cost from a customer they can't service - and leaving that budget available for a customer they can.
