Buy the metros that matter
A national campaign averages strong and weak cities together, so a few high-converting metros end up subsidising regions that never pay back. City targeting fixes that: you concentrate budget on the specific cities where your offer converts and stop funding the rest.
On FroggyAds you can target down to the city and metro level, set per-city bids, and combine city with device, OS and source targeting. SmartCPC can help adjust bidding toward more efficient traffic based on available campaign signals and performance data. Results depend on tracking quality, conversion volume, the offer and campaign settings.

City targeting FAQ
For Target by city & metro., how granular is FroggyAds city targeting?
Campaigns can target individual cities and metro areas where that inventory and location data are available. This is narrower than buying an entire country.
For Target by city & metro., when is city targeting a strong fit for an offer?
It fits an offer whose service area, pricing, or acceptance is tied to specific places. The campaign can avoid spending in cities the business cannot serve.
For Target by city & metro., can I bid differently from one city to another?
Per-city bidding lets the buyer pay more in metros with stronger tracked value and less in weaker locations. Each price change should follow city-level results.
For Target by city & metro., how do I find which cities deserve their own campaign settings?
Begin with city-level reporting from a broader test, then separate locations that show a meaningful performance difference. This avoids choosing metros from assumptions alone.
For Target by city & metro., can city targeting be combined with other audience controls?
City settings can be layered with device, operating-system, and source controls. Watch audience size because every added filter narrows eligible delivery.
For Target by city & metro., should the creative mention the targeted city?
A city reference can help when the offer and landing page genuinely serve that location. Keep the advertised availability and pricing accurate for the selected metro.
For Target by city & metro., what should a city-level performance report include?
Review spend, attributed conversions, cost per result, and source mix for each metro. Those fields show if the location itself adds value.
For Target by city & metro., when should a city be reduced or excluded?
Reduce or exclude it after enough tracked results show a persistent miss against the campaign target. Check its source mix before blaming location alone.
For Target by city & metro., what if a targeted city produces too little traffic?
Widen another compatible setting or group similar metros only if the reporting remains useful. Raising the bid cannot create inventory that is not available.
For Target by city & metro., what starting point does the city-targeting page list?
The page lists account access from $50. Allocate the test across the chosen metros so no single city uses the full learning budget by accident.
