Meta Ads in Philadelphia: FAQ

What audience radius should Meta Ads use for Philadelphia dumpster rentals?

Match it to your delivery area. Within 25 miles of Philadelphia there are 3 other listed markets (about 1.8 million listed residents including Philadelphia); within 50 miles, 10 (about 2.2 million).

Should Camden get its own Meta ad set?

Camden is 3 mi southeast of Philadelphia. That close, keep it in the same ad set and mention both names in the copy.

Is Meta better for homeowners or contractors in Philadelphia?

Both, with separate messaging. Homeowners respond to project-based creative (renovations, clean-outs); contractors respond to account, scheduling and repeat-rental offers. In a metro this size, run them as separate ad sets.
