# How do I get the right participant locations for a Virtual Opportunity?

Golden Opportunities that have no location will, by default, be visible to anyone who is using Golden. However there might be some instances where you might want your Opportunity to show only to participants that are close to a certain address. 

That's where our *Audience Geography* feature will come into play! Virtual Opportunities (and Flexible, Video Training, Petition, and Fundraiser Opportunities) have an Audience Geography field on the first "About" page of Opportunity creation, where you can enter an address or coordinates for the location from which you want to recruit participants. Once you enter a physical location, the Opportunity will filter out for participants who are distant (depends on participant filters, but never more than 100 miles away).

Some examples of Opportunities where the *Audience Geography* would be helpful are: 

- Virtual orientations/applications
- Donation drives
- Helpline roles that require local knowledge
- Many more!
