Common Questions
Meta Ads in Richmond: FAQ
What audience radius should Meta Ads use for Richmond dumpster rentals?
Match it to your delivery area. Within 25 miles of Richmond there are no other listed markets (about 220,000 listed residents including Richmond); within 50 miles, 0 (about 220,000).
Should Newport News get its own Meta ad set?
Newport News is 63 mi southeast of Richmond. 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 Richmond?
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.
