Geo-Targeting
Learn how Geonode’s Geo-Targeting feature helps you select proxies based on country, state, and city.
This guide will help you understand what Geo-Targeting is and how Geonode allows you to choose proxies based on country, state, and city for better control over your connections.
What is Geo-Targeting?
Geo-Targeting allows users to filter and select proxy locations based on specific countries, states, and cities. This feature helps businesses, developers, and marketers access content and services as if they were browsing from a real location.
How Geo-Targeting Works in Geonode
Geonode provides three levels of geo-targeting, as shown in the reference image:
- Country Targeting – Select a specific country for your proxy connection.
- State Targeting – Choose a particular state or region within the selected country.
- City Targeting – Further refine your proxy location by selecting a city or keeping it set to “Any” for broader access.
Why Use Geo-Targeting?
1. Access Geo-Restricted Content
- Bypass region-based restrictions on websites, streaming services, and apps.
- View country-specific search engine results and advertisements.
2. Improve Localized Testing & Marketing
- Run ad verification campaigns for specific regions.
- Test localized apps, websites, and payment gateways from different locations.
3. Ensure Compliance & Security
- Businesses can test website access in specific locations to ensure compliance.
- Helps avoid detection by providing location-accurate browsing behavior.
How to Choose the Right Geo-Targeting Option
| Geo-Targeting Level | Best For |
|---|---|
| Country Targeting | General browsing, international market research, region-based content |
| State Targeting | Location-specific services, regional ad verification, e-commerce |
| City Targeting | Precise testing, local SEO analysis, hyper-local ad campaigns |
Note
- The availability of state and city targeting depends on the selected country.
- Some cities may not have a large number of proxy IPs, so selecting “Any” can provide a broader range of options.
- For faster performance, choose a location closer to your target audience.
Final Tips
- Use Country Targeting for broad access to region-specific content.
- Choose State or City Targeting for precise location-based testing and marketing.
- If unsure, start with Country Targeting and refine as needed.
