Common Questions
Meta Ads in Cambridge: FAQ
What audience radius should Meta Ads use for Cambridge dumpster rentals?
Match it to your delivery area. Within 25 miles of Cambridge there are 9 other listed markets (about 1.5 million listed residents including Cambridge); within 50 miles, 21 (about 2.5 million).
Should Somerville get its own Meta ad set?
Somerville is 1 mi north of Cambridge. That close, keep it in the same ad set and mention both names in the copy.
Is Meta better for homeowners or contractors in Cambridge?
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.
