Ask Is it advisable to target multiple locations in ad group?

[Newman]

Many a time, digital marketers are always at cross road not knowing what to do, whether to have separate ad group for their different locations or they should have the same as group for this business location? The decision to choose any of them still lies with the digital marketers, and any of them chosen has its advantages and shortcomings.

There are many factors to be considered whenever a digital marketer is in this situation. Are the businesses offering the same importance for the users? Does the digital marketer ready to expand his business? All these and more would determine the choice to be made.

When you mix different places together, it's harder to make your ads actually fit each spot, which can mean fewer clicks. Someone in New York might vibe with your ad totally differently than someone in LA, even if it's the same product. It's way better to make separate ad groups for each location so you can tweak the copy, keywords, and bids for each area. Your ads feel more personal, and they usually perform better. Plus, it makes it way easier to see what's working

Depends on what you're selling and how different those places are from each other. If you're running ads for something where people need the same thing everywhere, you can probably put a few locations together. But if each area has different competition or people search for things differently, you might want to keep them separate.

Most people start with everything in one ad group because it seems simpler. Then they realize their ads are showing to people in completely different markets and performing badly in some of them. What helped me was splitting things up by city or region. Sure, it takes more time to set up, but you can write ad copy that feels more relevant to each group.

Sometimes it makes sense to group similar locations, especially if you're testing things out at first. You don't want to make a hundred ad groups right away because that's just confusing. Start with a few regions that you think behave the same way and see how it goes.

Targeting multiple locations in one ad group can actually hurt your performance if those areas have different search volumes or demographics. Your ad might do great in one place and terrible in another, but you won't see that clearly when they are mixed together.

I think it depends on how much budget you have to work with. If you're running a small campaign, grouping a few locations together might be fine just so you get enough data to see what's happening. But once you start spending more, you'll want to separate them so you can optimize each one properly.

 

[Edward22]

You can do it when the locations are really similar in terms of what people are searching for and how much competition there is. But problems show up when one area gets way more impressions than the others because that's where most of your budget goes automatically.
