Common Questions
Google Ads in Baltimore: FAQ
How big should a Google Ads radius be for dumpster rentals in Baltimore?
Start around 25 miles. There are no listed markets within 10 miles of Baltimore, 2 within 25 and 11 within 50, so a mid-size radius covers the nearby markets without paying for far-away clicks.
Should one Google Ads campaign cover all of Baltimore?
Usually not. With 2 listed markets inside 25 miles, split Baltimore from Annapolis and Bowie so each area gets its own budget, keywords and landing page.
Which keywords should a Baltimore roll-off company start with?
Begin with "dumpster rental baltimore", "roll off dumpster baltimore md", "20 yard dumpster baltimore" and "construction dumpster baltimore", then add the nearby market terms and container sizes once the core terms convert.
