Meta Ads in Buffalo: FAQ

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

Match it to your delivery area. Within 25 miles of Buffalo there is 1 other listed market (about 310,000 listed residents including Buffalo); within 50 miles, 1 (about 310,000).

Should Niagara Falls get its own Meta ad set?

Niagara Falls is 17 mi northwest of Buffalo. At that distance, give it its own ad set only if you deliver there regularly and it has enough people to support one.

Is Meta better for homeowners or contractors in Buffalo?

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.
