We are an ad agency with 100+ adwords clients. Some of the regional campaigns I execute, are in regions other then my own. Occasionally i like to do some searches just to make sure my clients ads are showing as I want them to be but in a regional search, if i am not in that clients target region, i cant see the ads. Is there some sort of a proxy program that I can go through that will somehow trick (not a deviant thing) google into thinking my IP is in the targeted region of the ad so that I can make sure everything is showing properly. Any help would be much appreciated :)

Good question. I have the same problem but have never been able to find a solution. At least not for domestic targetting. For country targetting it's easy to check ads.

I think you can use the ad diagnostic tool to look at ads from different regions.

for Germany do a google search "google Germany" - choose the link that is something like 'google.de.com' ... Australia's is something like google.au, UK is google.uk ec. - I hope this is what you were lookig for.

Correct, G not only shows the ads regionally in locations determined by ip mapping, but will also show them outside the region if they contain geographic indicators as well.

So someone in Seattle searching for "Good Boston Hotels" will be shown the regionally targeted ads intended to be shown in the Boston region, even if the keyword bid regionally is "Good Hotels".
