White-Label Google Ads for Cincinnati, OH Agencies
Google Ads run behind your brand for clients in Cincinnati and 4 nearby markets.
Location targeting around Cincinnati, OH
We serve 4 other markets within 35 miles of Cincinnati, OH. A 30-mile radius around Cincinnati reaches all of them; the farthest is Middletown, OH, 28 miles north. This area crosses state lines: Covington, KY and Florence, KY are in Kentucky.
For a client with one location in Cincinnati, we’d usually start with “Presence” targeting on the 2 markets inside 15 miles (Covington and Florence) and test the outer ring (Hamilton and Middletown) in a separate campaign or with a bid adjustment, so the farther cities can’t absorb the budget.

| Florence, KY | 11 mi southwest | Core radius | Check licensing in KY |

Suggested Google Ads setup for the Cincinnati 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: Cincinnati core
Presence targeting on Cincinnati, Covington and Florence (3 cities, farthest 11 mi). Exact and phrase match on the client’s core services; budget sized to this area first.
Campaign 2: outer ring
Hamilton (19 mi) and Middletown (28 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
If the client isn’t licensed in Kentucky, exclude Covington and Florence.
