Although geo-targeting is very effective. But to use it properly, please follow my following notes.

Carefully analyze the target audience in the area

For this feature to work most effectively, you need to carefully analyze your target audience in the area. Don’t let your ads target a geographic area that’s too broad or too narrow, as it will cause the ad to malfunction or reduce its effectiveness.

For Facebook Ads Geofencing campaigns to be most effective, you need to own an agency account. What is this? For those who don’t know, an agency account is a premium advertising account Facebook grants to reputable partners in the advertising field.

Features suitable for certain areas

For Facebook Ads Geofencing, many regions will not allow you to target customers for different reasons. This depends on the law and Facebook’s policies. You need to know the information to avoid those areas. Always comply with terms and policies when advertising on Facebook.
