## Create a Location Cluster

Create a cluster from the **Clusters** tab to group locations together.

1. In the main navigation, go to *Audience > Location Manager*.
2. Open the **Clusters** tab.
3. Click **Create Cluster**.
4. In **Create Cluster**, enter a unique **Name**. Optionally add a **Description**.
5. Click **Create**.

When created in the **Clusters** tab, the new cluster doesn't contain any locations.

**Note**

You can also create a cluster inline while configuring a location. In **Step 3. Cluster** of the location wizard, choose **Add to new cluster** and enter a name and optionally a description. A cluster created this way contains one location. See [Create a Location](/v1/docs/create-a-location) above.
