Meta Ads in Augusta: FAQ

What audience radius should Meta Ads use for Augusta dumpster rentals?

Match it to your delivery area. Within 25 miles of Augusta there are no other listed markets (about 18,000 listed residents including Augusta); within 50 miles, 1 (about 55,000).

Should Lewiston get its own Meta ad set?

Lewiston is 26 mi southwest of Augusta. At that distance, give it its own ad set only if you deliver there regularly and it has enough people to support one.

Is Meta better for homeowners or contractors in Augusta?

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.
