Anyone ever use the third location targeting setting "People searching for your targeted locations"? I would assume you could drop a keyword like "window repair" and you might get back search terms with town names? "window repair akron ohio" "window repair 07055" etc? I don't know how this setting works but I want to test it. Anyone have experience with it?

Yes I have - so say your first option ‘window repair akron Ohio’- if the user is in Columbus, Ohio they would still get served ads even if you weren’t location target Columbus, but you had locations in Akron, because the intent is for Akron. Does that make sense?

Yea. I might set something up to test this. I just fear that you need a real nice competitor neg list. Same as when you target phrases like "window repair akron" etc you get all "johns window repair akron phone number"
