Should Beaumont get its own Meta ad set?
Beaumont is 54 mi west of Lake Charles. At that distance, give it its own ad set only if you deliver there regularly and it has enough people to support one.
Is Meta better for homeowners or contractors in Lake Charles?
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.
