Meta Ads in Detroit: FAQ

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

Match it to your delivery area. Within 25 miles of Detroit there are 7 other listed markets (about 1.4 million listed residents including Detroit); within 50 miles, 8 (about 1.5 million).

Should Dearborn get its own Meta ad set?

Dearborn is 7 mi west of Detroit. That close, keep it in the same ad set and mention both names in the copy.

Is Meta better for homeowners or contractors in Detroit?

Both, with separate messaging. Homeowners respond to project-based creative (renovations, clean-outs); contractors respond to account, scheduling and repeat-rental offers. In a metro this size, run them as separate ad sets.
