Meta Ads in Bristol: FAQ

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

Match it to your delivery area. Within 25 miles of Bristol there are 4 other listed markets (about 430,000 listed residents including Bristol); within 50 miles, 9 (about 1.0 million).

Should New Britain get its own Meta ad set?

New Britain is 9 mi east of Bristol. That close, keep it in the same ad set and mention both names in the copy.

Is Meta better for homeowners or contractors in Bristol?

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.
