Google Ads Management for Dumpster Rental Companies in Evanston, IL
Evanston is a suburban market inside a large metro in Cook County, 13 mi north of Chicago. Evanston searches overlap with advertisers from across the Chicago metro (13 mi away), so a campaign here should win on local relevance — Evanston in the ad copy and landing page — rather than trying to outbid metro-wide budgets.

4 of those markets are across the state line (Hammond, IN, Gary, IN and Kenosha, WI). Add them as location targets only if you can legally and practically deliver there; otherwise exclude them.

Common Questions
Google Ads in Evanston: FAQ
How big should a Google Ads radius be for dumpster rentals in Evanston?
Start around 25 miles. There are no listed markets within 10 miles of Evanston, 4 within 25 and 14 within 50, so a mid-size radius covers the nearby markets without paying for far-away clicks.
Should a Evanston campaign also target Chicago?
Chicago is 13 mi south of Evanston. Close enough to serve from one yard — put it in its own ad group so it doesn't absorb the Evanston budget.
Which keywords should a Evanston roll-off company start with?
Begin with "dumpster rental evanston", "roll off dumpster evanston il", "20 yard dumpster evanston" and "construction dumpster evanston", then add the nearby market terms and container sizes once the core terms convert.
