Spanish geographical areas/departments in Google Ads

With the Google Ads platform, you can target specific geographic areas.

In this article, we will look at the different ways to target areas using Google Ads.

1. Geographic targeting by region

Geographic targeting by region allows you to choose a specific region for your ads. You can target metropolitan areas, counties, states or provinces, or even entire countries. If your business operates in a specific region, this can be very helpful in reaching potential customers in that area.

2. Geographic targeting by department

Geographic radius targeting allows you to target a specific area around a specific location. You can choose the center of a radius and set the size of the radius in kilometers or miles. This can be very useful for businesses with a physical presence, such as retail stores or restaurants, to reach potential customers nearby.

3. Geographic targeting by location

Location-based geo-targeting allows you to target specific locations, such as addresses, zip codes or cities. You can target multiple locations at once to reach potential customers in specific areas. This can be very useful for businesses with multiple branches in different cities.

4. Geographic targeting by excluding areas

Geo-targeting by area exclusion allows you to exclude specific geographic areas from your ads. This can be useful if your company does not operate in certain areas or if you want to avoid areas where your company already has a strong presence.

5. Geographic targeting by auction

Geo-targeting by bidding allows you to set higher bids for the areas where you want your ads to run. This can be useful if you want to target specific geographic areas where competition is higher or if you want to attract the attention of potential customers in geographic areas where your business is less known.

I'm leaving 'Spain' on purpose even if it may seem obvious to you. Indeed, some Spanish cities and provinces have the same name for Latin America.
