How do I target a city or specific geographic radius?
Updated 20 October 2026
You set it on the Locations & languages page in Bavian. A city, postcode or address you add becomes a circle around it, 20 km by default, which you can set between 1 and 100 km.
Target a city or radius
- Open Locations & languages. Choose The same everywhere, or choose Different per campaign and open the campaign.
- Search for the city, postcode or address and pick it, or click the map.
- Under Selected locations, set its radius with the slider. Drag the pin to move the centre.
- To show ads only there, remove your country with its bin icon.
- Click Save changes, or Save to all campaigns if you chose The same everywhere.
Good to know
- A country or region is targeted as a whole, without a radius.
- A city you add is a circle around its centre, not the city's own borders.
- To keep a place out, find it by name and click its exclude icon. You can exclude a city, region or country, but not a radius or an address.
- By default, Google can also show your ads to people outside the area who are interested in it.
