Location targeting around Salem, OR
We serve 10 other markets within 35 miles of Salem, OR. A 35-mile radius around Salem reaches all of them; the farthest is Tualatin, OR, 33 miles northeast. All 11 markets are in Oregon.
For a client with one location in Salem, we’d usually start with “Presence” targeting on the 1 market inside 15 miles (Keizer) and test the outer ring (Woodburn, McMinnville, Albany, Newberg, Canby and Wilsonville 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 Salem 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: Salem core
Presence targeting on Salem and Keizer (2 cities, farthest 3 mi). Exact and phrase match on the client’s core services; budget sized to this area first.
Campaign 2: outer ring
Woodburn (16 mi), McMinnville (20 mi), Albany (21 mi), Newberg (25 mi), Canby (28 mi), Wilsonville (28 mi), Corvallis (28 mi), Sherwood (30 mi) and Tualatin (33 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 35 miles of Salem and review the location report monthly for clicks from outside the area.
