To find the type of campaign, select the statement that best suits your target for this advertising campaign:
I want to reach as many people interested in my products or services in the easiest way possible
If you want your ads reach people looking for your products or services, as well as those that explore web sites related to your offer content, we recommend using the type of campaign Search with Display Select to display your ads to more many people as possible. This type of campaign shows your ads on the Google Search Network and, selectively, on the Google Display Network.
Below more information about each network is indicated:
Search Network Google: your text ad may appear on Google (and partner websites search non-Google) when users search for products similar to yours services, so there will be more likely to be interested in your offer and click on your ad. For example, if you set compact cameras as a keyword, your ad could appear next to search results when a user searches for that phrase in Google.
Google Display Network: Your ads are automatically associated with web sites to other locations (eg mobile applications) showing AdWords ads related to the content of the page. For example, if you set the keyword compact cameras, the ad could appear on a blog about digital cameras.

Select the geographic locations where you want your ads to show
Where in the world are your customers? Whether your customers are concentrated in their neighborhood as scattered around the world can use geo-targeting in AdWords to define the geographic area where you want the ads in your campaign to appear and restrict the areas where you do not want to be displayed.
For example, if you run a company in Spain that ships throughout the country except the Canary Islands and the Balearic Islands, you can target the entire country and exclude those communities specifically so that their ads do not appear in those areas. Also, if only serves in certain cities, you can target your ads to those places. If you want to focus on a local area, you can target your ads only to customers located within a certain distance drive from the geographical location of your company.
To set the best option geographic segmentation, answer the following question.
Where are the customers you want to reach? Select the region where their customers reside and where your company serve.
I want to reach customers who live in a specific neighborhood
You can show your ads to customers who are within a certain distance of your business, or in any other geographical location, with the radial orientation. For example, if you only want your ad to reach users who are within a short distance of your business, you can select a radius of five miles.

I want to reach customers in a particular city or region, or several cities or regions
You can show your ads to customers located in cities or specific regions of a country. This is a good option if your company only provides services in certain regions or cities, or want to focus their advertising efforts on certain areas of a country. Depending on the country, you can target regions, cities or postal codes.

I want to reach customers who are in certain areas of a country, as communities or provinces
You can show your ads to customers who are in specific communities or provinces of a country. This is a good option if your company only serves in some communities in a country or want to focus their advertising efforts on certain communities.
Prepared? Forward
I want to reach customers in a country or several countries
We recommend that you target one or several countries if it offers products or services in such areas as, for example, an online store that ships worldwide or an international company that sells its products in different countries. Please note that your budget will run out quickly when selecting a distribution of large dimensions. Make sure your budget is high enough so that they can continue to show your ads.
