Suggested Meta Ads setup for the San Jose 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: San Jose + 15 mi
Covers Santa Clara and Mountain View; about 1.2 million residents in the included cities. Broad targeting first, then interest or lookalike tests.
Ad set B: 20-mile radius
Adds Fremont, bringing the included cities to about 1.5 million residents. Use it when ad set A’s frequency climbs.
Retargeting
Website visitors and engaged audiences from the whole 4-market area, so the smaller cities in the area still see follow-up ads.
