Geo targeting by city in the UK

which city are you looking for? I'm able to find many cities and even smaller towns!

Hi Kathy,

We're looking at multiple cities in the UK. When we've consulted Adobe we've been told that: "Unfortunately, City based geo targeting is not a reliable option for the UK at the moment. Instead, we recommend setting up the audiences based on the State field which is less granular but way more accurate." I think the cities/towns you can see may relate to the cities in the US. Have you tried city-based targeting yourself? Would love to hear about any experiences you've had with it.

Hi Jamie

No, we didn't try any of those. I simply can find lots of UK cities/towns in Geo - city - matches ***. I didn't know that it's not reliable

How can we use State as we don't have states in the UK? How about using IP address?

You can find UK counties in the state field, so you can target Norfolk, Yorkshire, Cheshire etc. But we aren't able to target Norwich, Leeds, Chester etc. As far as I'm aware, IP address targeting is still only accurate on a county level. See the accuracy table on the below link:

Geo

I see! That's very helpful !

I am having the same case but for the cities in the Philippines. We've tried a combination of long-lat and geo city. We also tried 4 points on long-lat but still didn't work. When we checked the responseTokens of our targeted page it's pulling an incorrect geo.city.
