The short answer
Geo-targeting means asking your provider for an IP in a specific place: "United States", "California", "Los Angeles" or even a particular mobile carrier. You usually set it with a code in the proxy username, like user-country-us.
Why it matters
Websites change prices, search results, ads, languages and availability by location. SEO agencies check local rankings, retailers watch regional prices, and QA teams test localised sites. City-level targeting costs more on some plans, and accuracy depends on IP geolocation databases.
Also known as
Geotargeting, location targeting, country targeting, city-level proxies.
