Meta Ads in Cranston: FAQ

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

Match it to your delivery area. Within 25 miles of Cranston there are 6 other listed markets (about 590,000 listed residents including Cranston); within 50 miles, 15 (about 2.1 million).

Should Providence get its own Meta ad set?

Providence is 3 mi north of Cranston. That close, keep it in the same ad set and mention both names in the copy.

Is Meta better for homeowners or contractors in Cranston?

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.
