Common Questions
Google Ads in Aiken: FAQ
How big should a Google Ads radius be for dumpster rentals in Aiken?
Start around 40 miles. There are no listed markets within 10 miles of Aiken, 1 within 25 and 2 within 50, so a wide radius is needed to reach enough searchers.
Should a Aiken campaign also target Augusta, GA?
Augusta, GA is 16 mi southwest of Aiken. Close enough to serve from one yard — put it in its own ad group so it doesn't absorb the Aiken budget.
Which keywords should a Aiken roll-off company start with?
Begin with "dumpster rental aiken", "roll off dumpster aiken sc", "20 yard dumpster aiken" and "construction dumpster aiken", then add the nearby market terms and container sizes once the core terms convert.
