Use bid modifiers based on a geographic performance

Performances usually vary significantly from one geographical area to another. When using the analytics tool, you need to pay attention to the information on the areas that generate the most profits and conversions. With this data, you need to set your bid modifiers on Google AdWords to reflect the analytics data. This will ensure that the less profitable areas take up less of your budget, which you can then allocate to the most profitable areas.
