Common Questions
Google Ads in Houston: FAQ
How big should a Google Ads radius be for dumpster rentals in Houston?
Start around 15 miles. There are no listed markets within 10 miles of Houston, 5 within 25 and 7 within 50, so a tight radius already covers several cities.
Should one Google Ads campaign cover all of Houston?
Usually not. With 5 listed markets inside 25 miles, split Houston from Pasadena and Pearland so each area gets its own budget, keywords and landing page.
Which keywords should a Houston roll-off company start with?
Begin with "dumpster rental houston", "roll off dumpster houston tx", "20 yard dumpster houston" and "construction dumpster houston", then add the nearby market terms and container sizes once the core terms convert.
