For a client with one location in Austin, we’d usually start with “Presence” targeting on the 1 market inside 15 miles (Pflugerville) and test the outer ring (Cedar Park, Round Rock, Kyle, Hutto, Leander and Georgetown and others) in a separate campaign or with a bid adjustment, so the farther cities can’t absorb the budget.

Suggested Google Ads setup for the Austin 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: Austin core
Presence targeting on Austin and Pflugerville (2 cities, farthest 14 mi). Exact and phrase match on the client’s core services; budget sized to this area first.
Campaign 2: outer ring
Cedar Park (17 mi), Round Rock (17 mi), Kyle (21 mi), Hutto (22 mi), Leander (23 mi), Georgetown (26 mi) and San Marcos (29 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 30 miles of Austin and review the location report monthly for clicks from outside the area.
