Represents a Google Ads excluded location.
Excluded locations are used to restrict your ads from showing in specific geographic areas.
For instance, a campaign could show ads in all parts of a country except for a specific city by
having a TargetedLocation for the entire country and an ExcludedLocation for that
specific city.
For more information on locations, see the API documentation on geotargeting.
