Common Questions
Google Ads in Austin: FAQ
How big should a Google Ads radius be for dumpster rentals in Austin?
Start around 40 miles. There are no listed markets within 10 miles of Austin, 1 within 25 and 1 within 50, so a wide radius is needed to reach enough searchers.
Should one Google Ads campaign cover all of Austin?
It can, because only Round Rock is within 25 miles. In a metro this size, the bigger decision is splitting Austin itself into service zones by drive time from your yard, each with its own bids.
Which keywords should a Austin roll-off company start with?
Begin with "dumpster rental austin", "roll off dumpster austin tx", "20 yard dumpster austin" and "construction dumpster austin", then add the nearby market terms and container sizes once the core terms convert.
