What It Means
What these numbers mean for a El Cajon rental company
El Cajon sits inside the San Diego metro, 13 mi from its core. Renters here see ads and search results from metro-wide competitors, so a local operator does best by owning El Cajon-specific searches and the short delivery runs around it.
