Suggested Meta Ads setup for the Cedar Rapids area

Meta location targeting supports countries, states, cities, ZIP codes and a radius around an address.

  • Ad set A: Cedar Rapids + 15 mi

    Covers Marion; about 168,000 residents in the included cities. Broad targeting first, then interest or lookalike tests.

  • Ad set B: 25-mile radius

    Adds Iowa City, bringing the included cities to about 242,000 residents. Use it when ad set A’s frequency climbs.

  • Retargeting
