Google Ads in Birmingham: FAQ
How big should a Google Ads radius be for dumpster rentals in Birmingham?
Start around 40 miles. There is 1 listed market within 10 miles of Birmingham, 1 within 25 and 2 within 50, so a wide radius is needed to reach enough searchers.
Should a Birmingham campaign also target Hoover?
Hoover is 8 mi south of Birmingham. Close enough to serve from one yard — put it in its own ad group so it doesn't absorb the Birmingham budget.
Which keywords should a Birmingham roll-off company start with?
Begin with "dumpster rental birmingham", "roll off dumpster birmingham al", "20 yard dumpster birmingham" and "construction dumpster birmingham", then add the nearby market terms and container sizes once the core terms convert.
