Google Ads in Apex: FAQ

How big should a Google Ads radius be for dumpster rentals in Apex?

Start around 25 miles. There is 1 listed market within 10 miles of Apex, 4 within 25 and 6 within 50, so a mid-size radius covers the nearby markets without paying for far-away clicks.

Should a Apex campaign also target Charlotte?

Charlotte is 117 mi west of Apex. That is beyond a normal roll-off delivery run, so leave it out unless you operate a second yard closer to it.

Which keywords should a Apex roll-off company start with?

Begin with "dumpster rental apex", "roll off dumpster apex nc", "20 yard dumpster apex" and "construction dumpster apex", then add the nearby market terms and container sizes once the core terms convert.
