Meta Ads in Charleston: FAQ

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

Match it to your delivery area. Within 25 miles of Charleston there is 1 other listed market (about 210,000 listed residents including Charleston); within 50 miles, 1 (about 210,000).

Should Mount Pleasant get its own Meta ad set?

Mount Pleasant is 4 mi east of Charleston. That close, keep it in the same ad set and mention both names in the copy.

Is Meta better for homeowners or contractors in Charleston?

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.
