    The %%placeholder%% information used for programmatic optimizations in titles and descriptions appears to also be tied to the Location settings & permalinks.

    For example, if Region or Country are checked to be “hidden” in the GD Locations tab, perhaps because the site is hyper-local, then the placeholders for those are also hidden/appear blank.

    I think these should be separated out. Though a site may be hyper-local and it may not be necessary or desirable for region to appear in the URLs, dropdowns, etc., there may still be value and need to be able to use the %%location_region%% placeholder within the programmatic optimizations.

    I don’t know whether this would be considered a bug or a feature, so I’ll just leave the note here.

    Cheers

    Another useful option might be a placeholder that just has City, Region, without the country designation.

    This would again be potentially useful for more local focused sites that don’t really need country references.

    Cheers

    Not seeing issue on this end. Perhaps an update or reboot or something. Let me know if you still see the issue.

    Hi identity,
    

    Even region & country are hidden %%location_region%% & %%location_country%% shows names there if used in meta title & description. 
    

    There is also %%location_single%% that shows single location name like city name or region name or country name.
    
%%location%% shows full location name like city, region, country.
    

    Let us know.
    

    Regards,
    
Kiran
