Google Ads in Lansing: FAQ

How big should a Google Ads radius be for dumpster rentals in Lansing?

Start around 40 miles. There are no listed markets within 10 miles of Lansing, 0 within 25 and 1 within 50, so a wide radius is needed to reach enough searchers.

Should a Lansing campaign also target Detroit?

Detroit is 82 mi east of Lansing. That is beyond a normal roll-off delivery run, so leave it out unless you operate a second yard closer to it.

Which keywords should a Lansing roll-off company start with?

Begin with "dumpster rental lansing", "roll off dumpster lansing mi", "20 yard dumpster lansing" and "construction dumpster lansing", then add the nearby market terms and container sizes once the core terms convert.
