Common Questions
Google Ads in El Cajon: FAQ
How big should a Google Ads radius be for dumpster rentals in El Cajon?
Start around 25 miles. There are no listed markets within 10 miles of El Cajon, 3 within 25 and 6 within 50, so a mid-size radius covers the nearby markets without paying for far-away clicks.
Should a El Cajon campaign also target San Diego?
San Diego is 13 mi southwest of El Cajon. Close enough to serve from one yard — put it in its own ad group so it doesn't absorb the El Cajon budget.
Which keywords should a El Cajon roll-off company start with?
Begin with "dumpster rental el cajon", "roll off dumpster el cajon ca", "20 yard dumpster el cajon" and "construction dumpster el cajon", then add the nearby market terms and container sizes once the core terms convert.
