Suggested Meta Ads setup for the Aurora area
Meta location targeting supports countries, states, cities, ZIP codes and a radius around an address. Ads in Special Ad Categories (housing, employment, credit, and social issues or politics) have restricted targeting options, including a minimum 15-mile radius, so clients in those categories need their geography planned accordingly.
Ad set A: Aurora + 15 mi
Covers Naperville, Wheaton and Bolingbrook; about 476,000 residents in the included cities. Broad targeting first, then interest or lookalike tests.
Ad set B: 35-mile radius
Adds Downers Grove, Elgin, Joliet, Schaumburg, Orland Park, Berwyn, Palatine, Arlington Heights, Oak Park, Oak Lawn, Des Plaines and Tinley Park, bringing the included cities to about 1.3 million residents. Use it when ad set A’s frequency climbs.
Retargeting
Website visitors and engaged audiences from the whole 16-market area, so the smaller cities in the area still see follow-up ads.
