White-Label Google Ads for Kalamazoo, MI Agencies
Google Ads run behind your brand for clients in Kalamazoo and 2 nearby markets.
Location targeting around Kalamazoo, MI
We serve 2 other markets within 35 miles of Kalamazoo, MI. A 25-mile radius around Kalamazoo reaches all of them; the farthest is Battle Creek, MI, 21 miles east. All 3 markets are in Michigan.
For a client with one location in Kalamazoo, we’d usually start with “Presence” targeting on the 1 market inside 15 miles (Portage) and test the outer ring (Battle Creek) in a separate campaign or with a bid adjustment, so the farther cities can’t absorb the budget.

| Battle Creek, MI | 21 mi east | Outer ring | Same state |

Suggested Google Ads setup for the Kalamazoo 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: Kalamazoo core
Presence targeting on Kalamazoo and Portage (2 cities, farthest 6 mi). Exact and phrase match on the client’s core services; budget sized to this area first.
Campaign 2: outer ring
Battle Creek (21 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 25 miles of Kalamazoo and review the location report monthly for clicks from outside the area.
