It's "how to" day.
This is a tremendously easy way to see your Google Adwords Results in cities or countries where you're not located.
To see Google Adwords Results In Another Country:
Move there
Append the following code to the end of your query: url &gl=country iso code (ISO stands for International Orgzanization for Standarization -- why it wouldn't be an IOS code is quite beyond me, but I digress...). For the very curious, here's a listing of the various and sundry ISO country codes.
So, a search for dentists on Google https://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4GFRC_enCA213CA213&q=dentists becomes https://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4GFRC_enCA213CA213&q=dentists&gl=UK to show dentists in the UK.
To see Google Adwords Results In Another City:
Move there
Append the country, region and city name to your search.
Search 1 - Dentists https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=dentists
Search 2 - Dentists in Canada https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=dentists&gl=CA
Search 3 - Dentists in Alberta, Canada https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=dentists&gl=CA&gr=CA-AB
Search 4 - Dentists in Calgary, Alberta, Canada https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=dentists&gl=CA&gr=CA-AB&gcs=Calgary
Ta da! Simple.
Okay, now you try it.
And have a great one!
