Common Questions
Google Ads in Wilkes-Barre: FAQ
How big should a Google Ads radius be for dumpster rentals in Wilkes-Barre?
Start around 40 miles. There are no listed markets within 10 miles of Wilkes-Barre, 1 within 25 and 2 within 50, so a wide radius is needed to reach enough searchers.
Should a Wilkes-Barre campaign also target Philadelphia?
Philadelphia is 97 mi southeast of Wilkes-Barre. That is beyond a normal roll-off delivery run, so leave it out unless you operate a second yard closer to it.
Which keywords should a Wilkes-Barre roll-off company start with?
Begin with "dumpster rental wilkes-barre", "roll off dumpster wilkes-barre pa", "20 yard dumpster wilkes-barre" and "construction dumpster wilkes-barre", then add the nearby market terms and container sizes once the core terms convert.
