Suggested Meta Ads setup for the State College area
Meta location targeting supports countries, states, cities, ZIP codes and a radius around an address.

Ad set A: State College + 15 mi
Covers State College alone among served markets; about 42,000 residents in the included cities. Broad targeting first, then interest or lookalike tests.
Ad set B: 35-mile radius
Adds Lock Haven and Altoona, bringing the included cities to about 97,000 residents. Use it when ad set A’s frequency climbs.
Retargeting
Website visitors and engaged audiences from the whole 3-market area, so the smaller cities in the area still see follow-up ads.
