Common Questions
Meta Ads in Salinas: FAQ
What audience radius should Meta Ads use for Salinas dumpster rentals?
Match it to your delivery area. Within 25 miles of Salinas there are no other listed markets (about 160,000 listed residents including Salinas); within 50 miles, 1 (about 1.2 million).
Should San Jose get its own Meta ad set?
San Jose is 48 mi north of Salinas. 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 Salinas?
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.
