Common Questions
Meta Ads in Berkeley: FAQ
What audience radius should Meta Ads use for Berkeley dumpster rentals?
Match it to your delivery area. Within 25 miles of Berkeley there are 7 other listed markets (about 2.0 million listed residents including Berkeley); within 50 miles, 13 (about 3.8 million).
Should Oakland get its own Meta ad set?
Oakland is 5 mi south of Berkeley. That close, keep it in the same ad set and mention both names in the copy.
Is Meta better for homeowners or contractors in Berkeley?
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.
