Suggested Meta Ads setup for the Minneapolis 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: Minneapolis + 15 mi
Covers Roseville, Saint Paul, Brooklyn Park, Plymouth, Coon Rapids, Bloomington, Maple Grove, Blaine, Minnetonka, Eagan, Eden Prairie, Savage and Burnsville; about 1.4 million residents in the included cities. Broad targeting first, then interest or lookalike tests.
Ad set B: 25-mile radius
Adds Woodbury, Apple Valley and Lakeville, bringing the included cities to about 1.6 million residents. Use it when ad set A’s frequency climbs.
Retargeting
Website visitors and engaged audiences from the whole 17-market area, so the smaller cities in the area still see follow-up ads.
