Meta Ads in Portland: FAQ

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

Match it to your delivery area. Within 25 miles of Portland there are no other listed markets (about 67,000 listed residents including Portland); within 50 miles, 3 (about 160,000).

Should Lewiston get its own Meta ad set?

Lewiston is 31 mi north of Portland. 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 Portland?

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.
