Alternate landing pages for geo-targeting

Within a single campaign, is it possible to have a different destination URL for different countries?

I want to be able to offer free delivery to the UK in the ad, but obviously not for all other countries. So after setting up 2 separate campaigns (one mentioning free delivery and targeted to UK only), I was of course informed that only my ad with the highest ranking would show - not both.

Naturally, I don't want both ad's to show simultaneously - I just want the one with free delivery targeted to the UK only, and the other ad to show everywhere else.

Is this possible, and if so - how?

If you setup 2 campaigns with different geo's (no overlaps) ads will always show for a searched keyword even when they are the same. A search in Germany will simply not trigger your UK ad and vice versa. Just go with the different campaign setup and you'll be fine.

Hi Robsp,

What you suggest is exactly what I did. But when checking the UK ad on Google.co.uk under Tools>Ad Diagnostics I got the following warning;- Ad not Shown. Reason - another ad in your account is showing for this keyword.

Silly me - I had forgotten to remove UK from my original list, so it would be duplicated, wouldn't it?! I was beginning to think that this strategy was not possible and slipping into a depression. This Adwords thing is MUCH harder than it looks!

Because of your quick reply I am back on track and out of my depression. Thanks Robsp, I am very grateful.
