Provides line items the ability to target geographical locations.
By default, line items target all countries and their subdivisions.
With geographical targeting, you can target line items to specific
countries, regions, metro areas, and cities. You can also exclude
the same.
The following rules apply for geographical targeting:
- You cannot target and exclude the same location.
- You cannot target a child whose parent has been excluded. For
example, if the state of Illinois has been excluded, then you
cannot target Chicago.
- You must not target a location if you are also targeting its
parent. For example, if you are targeting New York City, you must
not have the state of New York as one of the targeted
locations.
- You cannot explicitly define inclusions or exclusions that are
already implicit. For example, if you explicitly include
California, you implicitly exclude all other states. You therefore
cannot explicitly exclude Florida, because it is already implicitly
excluded. Conversely if you explicitly exclude Florida, you cannot
explicitly include California.

Key rules include preventing the targeting and exclusion of the same location, precluding the targeting of a child when its parent is excluded, and disallowing the targeting of a parent if a child is also being targetted. It also states that explicit targeting cannot overlap with already implicit actions. The `targetedLocations` and `excludedLocations` fields manage this targeting.\n"],null,["# type GeoTargeting (v202502)\n\n**Service** \n[AdRuleService](/ad-manager/api/reference/v202502/AdRuleService.GeoTargeting) [AdjustmentService](/ad-manager/api/reference/v202502/AdjustmentService.GeoTargeting) [ForecastService](/ad-manager/api/reference/v202502/ForecastService.GeoTargeting) [LineItemService](/ad-manager/api/reference/v202502/LineItemService.GeoTargeting) **NativeStyleService** [ProposalLineItemService](/ad-manager/api/reference/v202502/ProposalLineItemService.GeoTargeting) [ProposalService](/ad-manager/api/reference/v202502/ProposalService.GeoTargeting) [PublisherQueryLanguageService](/ad-manager/api/reference/v202502/PublisherQueryLanguageService.GeoTargeting) [TargetingPresetService](/ad-manager/api/reference/v202502/TargetingPresetService.GeoTargeting) [YieldGroupService](/ad-manager/api/reference/v202502/YieldGroupService.GeoTargeting) **Dependencies** \n[Targeting](/ad-manager/api/reference/v202502/NativeStyleService.Targeting) \n▼\n**GeoTargeting**\n\n\nProvides line items the ability to target geographical locations.\nBy default, line items target all countries and their subdivisions.\nWith geographical targeting, you can target line items to specific\ncountries, regions, metro areas, and cities.
