Google Ads Management for Dumpster Rental Companies in Vancouver, WA
Vancouver is a suburban market inside a large metro in Clark County, 8 mi north of Portland, OR. Vancouver searches overlap with advertisers from across the Portland metro (8 mi away), so a campaign here should win on local relevance — Vancouver in the ad copy and landing page — rather than trying to outbid metro-wide budgets.

Common Questions
Google Ads in Vancouver: FAQ
How big should a Google Ads radius be for dumpster rentals in Vancouver?
Start around 25 miles. There is 1 listed market within 10 miles of Vancouver, 4 within 25 and 4 within 50, so a mid-size radius covers the nearby markets without paying for far-away clicks.
Should a Vancouver campaign also target Portland, OR?
Portland, OR is 8 mi south of Vancouver. Close enough to serve from one yard — put it in its own ad group so it doesn't absorb the Vancouver budget.
Which keywords should a Vancouver roll-off company start with?
Begin with "dumpster rental vancouver", "roll off dumpster vancouver wa", "20 yard dumpster vancouver" and "construction dumpster vancouver", then add the nearby market terms and container sizes once the core terms convert.
