Suggested Meta Ads setup for the Portland 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: Portland + 15 mi

    Covers South Portland, Saco and Biddeford; about 133,000 residents in the included cities. Broad targeting first, then interest or lookalike tests.

  • Ad set B: 35-mile radius

    Adds Sanford, Auburn and Lewiston, bringing the included cities to about 213,000 residents. Use it when ad set A’s frequency climbs.

  • Retargeting

    Website visitors and engaged audiences from the whole 7-market area, so the smaller cities in the area still see follow-up ads.
