Marketing for Upper Arlington
Only about 6 miles from Columbus, with 36,140 residents.
Close in, but its own market
A planned community laid out by brothers King and Ben Thompson, who bought 840 acres in 1913 and modeled it on Kansas City's Country Club District. It sits right next to Columbus, so a business there competes with downtown firms and suburban ones at the same time.
Being close also helps: a Columbus business can realistically win map results in Upper Arlington, which is harder in suburbs further out.
Ways to aim ads at Upper Arlington
Because Upper Arlington is only 6 miles from Columbus, a loose radius around your office spills into areas you may not want to pay for. Google Ads offers finer controls:
- Target the city itself as a location instead of a circle drawn around a pin
- Set location options to people in or regularly in the area, so you don't pay for someone in another state reading about it
- Add postal-code targets if only part of the area suits you, and exclude the parts that don't
- Put the place name in a headline so searchers see the ad is about their neighbourhood
- Raise or lower bids by location so the area that converts best gets more of the budget
- Track calls from these ads separately and compare their cost with the rest of the metro
