Common Questions
Google Ads in St. Petersburg: FAQ
How big should a Google Ads radius be for dumpster rentals in St. Petersburg?
Start around 25 miles. There are no listed markets within 10 miles of St. Petersburg, 2 within 25 and 5 within 50, so a mid-size radius covers the nearby markets without paying for far-away clicks.
Should a St. Petersburg campaign also target Clearwater?
Clearwater is 15 mi northwest of St. Petersburg. Close enough to serve from one yard — put it in its own ad group so it doesn't absorb the St. Petersburg budget.
Which keywords should a St. Petersburg roll-off company start with?
Begin with "dumpster rental st. petersburg", "roll off dumpster st. petersburg fl", "20 yard dumpster st. petersburg" and "construction dumpster st. petersburg", then add the nearby market terms and container sizes once the core terms convert.
