Type in the zip codes you want to search for (5-digit) in the Locations search box in campaign settings.

By default, it will show ads to people outside your area who are looking for ads related to your target area. Change Location Options to &#8220;Presence: People in or regularly in your targeted locations&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q3_How_does_radius_targeting_work_for_YouTube_video_ads\"><\/span><b>Q3. How does radius targeting work for YouTube video ads?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Radius targeting draws a circular distance boundary around a specific street address, city, or coordinate. Set a radius between 1 and 500 miles (or kilometers) within the Advanced Search map tool. Your video ads will display strictly to users within that designated proximity circle.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q4_Does_geo-targeting_increase_YouTube_ad_cost-per-view_CPV\"><\/span><b>Q4.

However, higher engagement rates and longer watch times from localized viewers offset the higher CPV.
