White-Label Google Ads for Minneapolis, MN Agencies
Google Ads run behind your brand for clients in Minneapolis and 16 nearby markets.
Location targeting around Minneapolis, MN
We serve 16 other markets within 35 miles of Minneapolis, MN. A 25-mile radius around Minneapolis reaches all of them; the farthest is Lakeville, MN, 23 miles south. All 17 markets are in Minnesota.
For a client with one location in Minneapolis, we’d usually start with “Presence” targeting on the 13 markets inside 15 miles (Roseville, Saint Paul, Brooklyn Park, Plymouth, Coon Rapids, Bloomington, Maple Grove, Blaine, Minnetonka, Eagan, Eden Prairie, Savage and Burnsville) and test the outer ring (Woodbury, Apple Valley and Lakeville) in a separate campaign or with a bid adjustment, so the farther cities can’t absorb the budget.

Suggested Google Ads setup for the Minneapolis 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: Minneapolis core
Presence targeting on Minneapolis, Roseville, Saint Paul, Brooklyn Park, Plymouth, Coon Rapids, Bloomington, Maple Grove, Blaine, Minnetonka, Eagan, Eden Prairie, Savage and Burnsville (14 cities, farthest 15 mi). Exact and phrase match on the client’s core services; budget sized to this area first.
Campaign 2: outer ring
Woodbury (15 mi), Apple Valley (17 mi) and Lakeville (23 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 Minneapolis and review the location report monthly for clicks from outside the area.
