Meta Ads in Apex: FAQ

Match it to your delivery area. Within 25 miles of Apex there are 4 other listed markets (about 970,000 listed residents including Apex); within 50 miles, 6 (about 1.2 million).
Should Cary get its own Meta ad set?

Is Meta better for homeowners or contractors in Apex?
Both, with separate messaging. Homeowners respond to project-based creative (renovations, clean-outs); contractors respond to account, scheduling and repeat-rental offers. In a market this size, start with one ad set and split once results justify it.
