# Residential Proxies Geo Targetting

Source: https://docs.evomi.com/proxy-instructions/residential-proxies/geo-targetting/

Geo-targeting allows you to specify the geographic location of the proxy you want to use. This can be essential for tasks like localized testing, content access, and more. Below, we'll explain the key geo-targeting parameters and show you how to use them effectively.

Our swiss quality residential proxies have the following geo-targeting parameters available:

## Geo-targeting Parameters

- **_country-**: Specify the country of the proxy.
- **_city-**: Specify the city of the proxy.
- **_region-**: Specify the region of the proxy.
- **_isp-**: Specify the Internet Service Provider (ISP) of the proxy.
- **_asn-**: Specify the Autonomous System Number (ASN) of the proxy.
- **_continent-**: Specify the continent of the proxy.

### Notes

- You only need to specify either the country OR the region.

## Choosing the Geo Source

The parameters above are resolved by a geolocation database, and you can choose which one. By default Evomi uses `ipapi` ([ip-api.com](https://ip-api.com)); adding `_geosource-` selects a different source, which is useful when the reported location needs to match your own verification tooling.

See [Geo Source Selection](/proxy-instructions/residential-proxies/expert-settings/geosource/) for the list of available sources and their matching behaviour.
