Mastering location targeting in Google Ads: strategies for better results and higher conversions
As a Google Ads manager, you understand the importance of targeting specific locations to reach your audience effectively. However, even if you've already set your location targeting, you may still be overlooking valuable opportunities. Here’s a comprehensive strategy to refine your location targeting in Google Ads for better results.
The first step is to navigate to "Insights and reports," then select "When and where ads showed." This section provides crucial data that can help you optimize your targeting strategy. Look for "Matched locations" to identify the specific areas where your ads are being displayed. Analyzing this data will give you a clearer picture of where your ad impressions are coming from.
Once you have this information, it’s time to narrow down your focus. Pay particular attention to the regions that have incurred costs per click but aren’t converting. These locations can silently drain your budget without contributing to your overall goals.
It’s essential to be cautious before deciding to exclude any location from your targeting. Ensure that the location in question has accumulated enough clicks. This data is vital, as removing a location too prematurely could result in a lost opportunity for potential conversions.
If you discover that a location has generated a significant number of clicks but is not yielding the expected conversions, it might be time to consider removing it from your campaign. This strategy can be particularly effective when other targeted locations are performing well and generating positive conversion rates.
By leveraging these insights, you may be surprised at how many locations are quietly consuming your budget without delivering results. Fine-tuning your location targeting can lead to better performance, reduced costs, and increased conversions.
In conclusion, regularly reviewing and adjusting your location targeting strategy in Google Ads is essential for maximizing your advertising budget.

Highly recommend Matteo to set up your server side tracking. He has a deep understanding of e-commerce tracking and will go above and beyond to make sure everything is set up correctly and working 100%. If you are scaling your store this set up is non-negotiable in my opinion and there isn't many people who have this much knowledge or put the effort in to get it right. Thanks again!
