Suggested Google Ads setup for the Kansas City 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: Kansas City core
Presence targeting on Kansas City, Kansas City, Shawnee, Independence, Overland Park, Lenexa and Liberty (7 cities, farthest 13 mi). Exact and phrase match on the client’s core services; budget sized to this area first.
Campaign 2: outer ring
Lee's Summit (17 mi), Blue Springs (17 mi) and Olathe (20 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 Kansas, exclude Kansas City, Shawnee, Overland Park, Lenexa and Olathe.
