Meta Ads in Scranton: FAQ

Match it to your delivery area. Within 25 miles of Scranton there is 1 other listed market (about 120,000 listed residents including Scranton); within 50 miles, 2 (about 160,000).
Should Wilkes-Barre get its own Meta ad set?

Is Meta better for homeowners or contractors in Scranton?
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.
