One issue I’ve had is that when you run a geotargeted ad in another area, and you want to see how it looks in that area, you couldn’t. Well, now that’s changed. This week Google released a tool that allows you to do just that. It’s a simple url that you can change how you’d like to display Google ads in any location for any search.
So if you wanted to see what a person searching on Google for “Five Star Hotels” in Philadelphia would see, well here’s the command:-
http://www.google.com/search?adtest=on&hl=en&lr=&
q=five+star+hotels&gr=US-PA&gcs=Philadelphia
the piece after the q= is the keyword searched for (any whitespace replaced with a +). the gr= is the country and state, the gcs= is the city.
The page that displays has a watermark”Preview”, and clearly states that this is a testing site. None of the links work, and no impression data is collected from these pages, so there’s no chance of these testing SERP’s affecting your data. Nice one Google, a very useful tool.
