Google Ads in Philadelphia: FAQ

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

Start around 25 miles. There are 2 listed markets within 10 miles of Philadelphia, 3 within 25 and 10 within 50, so a mid-size radius covers the nearby markets without paying for far-away clicks.

Should one Google Ads campaign cover all of Philadelphia?

Usually not. With 3 listed markets inside 25 miles, split Philadelphia from Camden and Cherry Hill so each area gets its own budget, keywords and landing page.

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

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