Remember that if you are selecting a "higher" level like a Country you CANNOT CAN NOT limit this further by selecting Regions or Cities within that same country: The whole country will then be targeted.

The same is true for Regions. The AdServer takes always the highest level as it's its targeting criteria.

2. Postal Code - Geo-Targeting


Version 2.84 and up
Supported AdserversDFPGAM

Postal Code Geo-Targeting allows your ads to appear in the geographic locations that you choose: countries, regions or areas within a country or location groups can be selected.

Note
titlePostal Code Geo Targeting

We separated this feature from the regular geo-targeting trees into into its own tab and field.

Restrictions

  1. Remember that this only works with the new AdServer ID Targeting (read more about it here 7.3.2 Transfer Data from the AdServer) and only for DFP GAM so far.
  2. DFP GAM supports at the moment only postal codes in
    • Canada, 
    • Germany, 
    • France, 
    • India, 
    • United Kingdom and the Kingdom 
    • United States.

Please notice that you can only select Postal Codes from one country per campaign item. If you would like to add Postal Codes from different countries please use separate campaign items.

2.1 Edit Postal Code Geo-Targeting:

Your administrator needs to set up the column and button in the Media Configuration which you can show via Tab Setup (Targetings > Postal Code) in a new tab or integrate it into an existing tab. (7.2.2 Setup Media Configuration)

...

The first step is to click the button "Select Postal Code". A new tab window will open in your browser then. Here you have two possibilities to use Postal Code Geo-Targeting. You can navigate between those two screen screens using the tabs:

2.1.1. Select Ranges 

...

If you switch on the page to the other tab by hitting the second dot below you can enter Postal Codes manually and comma separated. The system will check, if they are valid when you click "Check“.

    




After the check, you can close the targeting selection by clicking "Save“. If you get an error message about invalid values please correct the referred codes.

...

Info
titleTargeting Limit

The maximum of the Targeting Criteria in DFP GAM is 800. When you choose more than that you will get the error message below.

...

In your offers or invoices pdf documents the new geo-targeting settings will be displayed similar similarly to the old. Your customers won't notice much of a difference. If you use Postal Code Ranges, those will be directly shown on the PDF otherwise, otherwise the targeting will be written in a comma-separated list.
