Common Questions
Meta Ads in Oakland: FAQ
What audience radius should Meta Ads use for Oakland dumpster rentals?
Match it to your delivery area. Within 25 miles of Oakland there are 8 other listed markets (about 2.2 million listed residents including Oakland); within 50 miles, 12 (about 3.6 million).
Should Berkeley get its own Meta ad set?
Berkeley is 5 mi north of Oakland. That close, keep it in the same ad set and mention both names in the copy.
Is Meta better for homeowners or contractors in Oakland?
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.
