Suggested Meta Ads setup in Ohio
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
Columbus (~850,000), Cleveland (~388,000) and Cincinnati (~297,000) are large enough to start with city targeting alone.
Radius audiences
For the 15 smaller markets, use a radius that pulls in nearby served cities, e.g. Cuyahoga Falls → Akron (4 mi), Middletown → Hamilton (12 mi) and Newark → Lancaster (26 mi).
Statewide retargeting
One retargeting audience across all 30 Ohio markets keeps follow-up ads running even where prospecting audiences are small.
