Location targeting around Appleton, WI
We serve 5 other markets within 35 miles of Appleton, WI. A 35-mile radius around Appleton reaches all of them; the farthest is Fond du Lac, WI, 34 miles south. All 6 markets are in Wisconsin.
For a client with one location in Appleton, we’d usually start with “Presence” targeting on the 2 markets inside 15 miles (Menasha and Neenah) and test the outer ring (Oshkosh, Green Bay and Fond du Lac) in a separate campaign or with a bid adjustment, so the farther cities can’t absorb the budget.

Suggested Google Ads setup for the Appleton area
Google Ads location targeting can be set by country, state, city, ZIP code or a radius around an address, and the location option can be set to people in the area only (“Presence”) instead of people who have shown interest in it. For local service clients, “Presence” plus a city list or radius built from real drive distances is usually the starting point.
Campaign 1: Appleton core
Presence targeting on Appleton, Menasha and Neenah (3 cities, farthest 6 mi). Exact and phrase match on the client’s core services; budget sized to this area first.
Campaign 2: outer ring
Oshkosh (18 mi), Green Bay (26 mi) and Fond du Lac (34 mi). Separate budget so the farther cities can’t take spend from the core; pause any city where the client doesn’t take jobs.
Exclusions to set
Exclude locations beyond 35 miles of Appleton and review the location report monthly for clicks from outside the area.
