Meta Ads in Elizabeth: FAQ

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

Match it to your delivery area. Within 25 miles of Elizabeth there are 9 other listed markets (about 9.5 million listed residents including Elizabeth); within 50 miles, 22 (about 10.1 million).

Should Newark get its own Meta ad set?

Newark is 5 mi north of Elizabeth. That close, keep it in the same ad set and mention both names in the copy.

Is Meta better for homeowners or contractors in Elizabeth?

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.
