You can further refine your search by limiting the results a to certain location (area) only by entering the location coordinates (latitude and longitude; you can easily find out these on Google Maps) and a radius around the specified location which will be covered by this search.
For example, you can enter following geo coordinates: 48.865084, 2.357764 and radius of 25.
You can also prefill the coordinates with your current location which is very useful when you actually are on the location of your business and want to use it for the search.
For more detailed info, you can read official Twitter docs.
