Common Questions
Google Ads in Schenectady: FAQ
How big should a Google Ads radius be for dumpster rentals in Schenectady?
Start around 40 miles. There are no listed markets within 10 miles of Schenectady, 2 within 25 and 2 within 50, so a wide radius is needed to reach enough searchers.
Should a Schenectady campaign also target Troy?
Troy is 14 mi southeast of Schenectady. Close enough to serve from one yard — put it in its own ad group so it doesn't absorb the Schenectady budget.
Which keywords should a Schenectady roll-off company start with?
Begin with "dumpster rental schenectady", "roll off dumpster schenectady ny", "20 yard dumpster schenectady" and "construction dumpster schenectady", then add the nearby market terms and container sizes once the core terms convert.
