Google Ads improves urban-rural targeting in India
Google Ads has improved the precision of urban-rural targeting in India, enabling advertisers to achieve tighter control over delivery across the country's varied geographic and economic segments. The update lets campaigns specifically target urban or rural areas, allowing for sharper segmentation of audiences that previously fell into mixed targeting buckets.
Why it matters for advertisers
For you, this means India-targeting accounts with audiences that vary materially between urban and rural cohorts: typical for ecommerce, financial services, and FMCG: can now build cleaner segmentation without relying on city-level lists or income proxies. Particularly relevant for advertisers who have been treating India as a single geo and seeing mixed efficiency results.
