Suggested Meta Ads setup for the Santa Ana 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: Santa Ana + 15 mi
Covers Orange, Garden Grove, Irvine, Anaheim, Costa Mesa, Fullerton and Huntington Beach; about 1.7 million residents in the included cities. Broad targeting first, then interest or lookalike tests.
Ad set B: 35-mile radius
Adds Norwalk, Long Beach, Corona, Downey, Pomona, West Covina, El Monte, Torrance, Los Angeles, Riverside, Inglewood and Pasadena, bringing the included cities to about 7.7 million residents. Use it when ad set A’s frequency climbs.
Retargeting
Website visitors and engaged audiences from the whole 20-market area, so the smaller cities in the area still see follow-up ads.
