Meta Ads in Evanston: FAQ

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

Match it to your delivery area. Within 25 miles of Evanston there are 4 other listed markets (about 3.0 million listed residents including Evanston); within 50 miles, 14 (about 4.1 million).

Should Chicago get its own Meta ad set?

Chicago is 13 mi south of Evanston. That close, keep it in the same ad set and mention both names in the copy.

Is Meta better for homeowners or contractors in Evanston?

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.
