Common Questions
Google Ads in St. Charles: FAQ
How big should a Google Ads radius be for dumpster rentals in St. Charles?
Start around 40 miles. There are no listed markets within 10 miles of St. Charles, 2 within 25 and 2 within 50, so a wide radius is needed to reach enough searchers.
Should a St. Charles campaign also target O'Fallon?
O'Fallon is 12 mi west of St. Charles. Close enough to serve from one yard — put it in its own ad group so it doesn't absorb the St. Charles budget.
Which keywords should a St. Charles roll-off company start with?
Begin with "dumpster rental st. charles", "roll off dumpster st. charles mo", "20 yard dumpster st. charles" and "construction dumpster st. charles", then add the nearby market terms and container sizes once the core terms convert.
