Suggested Meta Ads setup in New York
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.
City-only audiences
New York City (~8.2 million), Buffalo (~258,000) and Rochester (~210,000) are large enough to start with city targeting alone.
Radius audiences
For the 17 smaller markets, use a radius that pulls in nearby served cities, e.g. Niagara Falls → Buffalo (17 mi), Binghamton → Cortland (37 mi) and Rome → Utica (14 mi).
Statewide retargeting
One retargeting audience across all 37 New York markets keeps follow-up ads running even where prospecting audiences are small.
