</Danger>

The geo parameter with Google templates can be used in a few different ways:

1. Target using the **full location name** (`city,region,country`) as provided in Google CSV found [**here**](https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/geotargeting):
   <CodeGroup>
     ```json JSON theme={null}
     {
         "target": "google_search",
         "query": "laptop",
         "geo": "London,England,United Kingdom"
     }
     ```
   </CodeGroup>
2. Target using the **state name** (`state,country`). Compatible with the United States, Australia, India, and other nations with federated states:
   <CodeGroup>
     ```json JSON theme={null}
     {
         "target": "google_search",
         "query": "laptop",
         "geo": "Texas,United States"
     }
     ```
   </CodeGroup>
3. Target using the **country name** only:
   <CodeGroup>
     ```json JSON theme={null}
     {
         "target": "google_search",
         "query": "laptop",
         "geo": "United Kingdom"
     }
     ```
   </CodeGroup>
4. Target using **ISO country codes**:
   <CodeGroup>
     ```json JSON theme={null}
     {
         "target": "google_search",
         "query": "laptop",
         "geo": "GB"
     }
     ```
   </CodeGroup>
5. Target using **coordinates and radius**
   <CodeGroup>
     ```json JSON theme={null}
     {
         "target": "google_search",
         "query": "laptop",
         "geo": "lat: 32.4827, lng: -22.9384, rad: 5000"
     }
     ```
   </CodeGroup>
6. Target using Google's Canonical Location Name or Criteria ID, find a list [here](https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/geotargeting):
   <CodeGroup>
     ```json JSON theme={null}
     {
         "target": "google_search",
         "query": "pilaptopzza",
         "geo": "1000010"
     }
     ```
   </CodeGroup>

<Note>
  There are exceptions, and the above formats may not work in all situations, in which case you will receive an error message stating that.
