Google Ads in St. Louis: FAQ
How big should a Google Ads radius be for dumpster rentals in St. Louis?
Start around 40 miles. There are no listed markets within 10 miles of St. Louis, 1 within 25 and 2 within 50, so a wide radius is needed to reach enough searchers.
Should a St. Louis campaign also target St. Charles?
St. Charles is 19 mi northwest of St. Louis. Close enough to serve from one yard — put it in its own ad group so it doesn't absorb the St. Louis budget.
Which keywords should a St. Louis roll-off company start with?
Begin with "dumpster rental st. louis", "roll off dumpster st. louis mo", "20 yard dumpster st. louis" and "construction dumpster st. louis", then add the nearby market terms and container sizes once the core terms convert.
