If you’re spending ad budget across broad regions, you might be spreading yourself too thin. A sharp geographic targeting strategy helps you concentrate your efforts where they’ll yield the best results—more qualified leads, lower cost-per-acquisition, and higher ROI. In this episode, we walk you through how to zone in on high-value markets and avoid wasting spend in low-return areas.
Key Takeaways

Why Location Focus Matters
Not every city, state, or region delivers equal results. Some places are saturated or not ready for your offer; others are gold mines of high-intent customers. Geographic targeting helps you prioritize where your budget does the most work. -
How to Identify High-Value Areas
Analyze your past data: where your best leads originate, close rates by region, and lifetime value by location. Use tools like Google Ads and Analytics to find which places convert well, have good engagement, and keep costs lower. -
Tactics to Refine Your Reach
-
Use radius targeting and zip codes to narrow down your metro or service areas.
-
Layer in demographic or income info to further refine who sees your ads.
-
Adjust ad scheduling based on time zones so your messages hit during peak hours in each area.
