How to Run Geo-Targeted Ads for Same-Day Flower Delivery

Most people don’t want flowers next week.
They want them today. And they want them nearby.
That’s why geo-targeted ads are critical for florists who offer same-day delivery.
In this guide, we’ll break down:
  • How to use ZIP codes, radius, and city targeting
  • The best platforms for local ads
  • Copy and creative tips that match local intent
  • How to make sure your landing pages don’t leak conversions
Let’s get your flowers in front of the right people—fast.

1. Geo-Targeting Basics: Who Sees Your Ad (and Where)

Both Google Ads and Meta Ads let you show your ads only to people in specific locations.
You can target by:
  • ZIP code (best for dense cities)
  • Radius (e.g., 5 miles around your shop)
  • City or neighborhood (for clear delivery areas)
💡 Pro Tip: If you offer same-day delivery only within certain zones, don’t advertise outside them. You’ll waste money on leads you can’t convert.

2. Geo-Targeting on Google Ads (Search & Display)

Best for: People actively searching for flowers

Use location targeting in your campaign setup:
✅ “Presence” only — target people in the area, not people just searching about it
✅ Add your top delivery ZIPs or draw a radius around your store
✅ Use geo-modified keywords:
  • “flower delivery in [neighborhood]”
  • “same-day roses [ZIP code]”
🔥 Bonus Tip:
Use location extensions in your ads—these show your address, map pin, and allow for local clicks.

3. Geo-Targeting on Meta Ads (Facebook & Instagram)

Best for: Discovery and impulse buyers

In your ad set settings:
✅ Choose “People living in or recently in this location”
✅ Drop pins or select ZIP codes
✅ Radius: 1–10 miles depending on your city’s density
✅ Layer in demographics (age, gender, interests)
💡 Example:
  • Males 28–45
  • Within 5 miles of your shop
  • Interested in “Valentine’s Day” or “Gifts for Her”

4. Local Ad Copy That Converts

You’re not selling flowers.
You’re solving a local, urgent problem.

Copy Angles That Work:

  • “Forgot the anniversary? We’ve got you. Order by 2pm for delivery today in [City].”
  • “Fresh flowers delivered today in [ZIP]. No extra charge.”
  • “Same-day delivery in [Neighborhood]—we’re just around the corner.”
Add urgency and hyper-local trust:
  • “Free delivery in [local area]”
  • “Real florists, not shipping warehouses”
  • “Call now, get it there by dinner”
🔁 Use dynamic text on Google (if supported) to auto-insert location.

5. Match Your Landing Page to the Ad

Geo-targeted ads fall flat if your landing page says “Nationwide Delivery” or has no mention of local service.
What to include:
✅ “Flower Delivery in [City]” in headline
✅ Delivery cut-off times + delivery zones
✅ Hero image that feels local (city landmarks, seasonal vibe)
✅ Quick access to bestsellers available for same-day
✅ Trust badges (local reviews, delivery guarantee)
💡 Add a clickable phone number and make sure your delivery info is above the fold.

6. Scaling Your Local Ad Strategy

Once your base ZIPs or zones convert well, expand logically:
  • Add more ZIPs with strong AOVs
  • Use lookalike audiences (on Meta) based on buyers from high-performing zones
  • Clone Google campaigns with slight geo and keyword tweaks
Don’t go too wide too fast—keep relevance tight to preserve conversion rates.

7. Bonus: Geo-Focused Retargeting

Use geo-based retargeting to bring visitors back:
  • People who viewed local delivery pages
  • Cart abandoners in your delivery area
  • People who clicked ads for specific neighborhoods
Example follow-up copy:
“Still thinking about flowers for [Wicker Park]? Order now—we still have drivers on the road!”

Recap: Geo-Targeting for Florist Ads

✅ Target ZIPs, cities, or radius zones
✅ Use local urgency in ad copy
✅ Match landing pages to delivery area
✅ Use Google for intent, Meta for discovery
✅ Expand slowly and track by area
✅ Retarget based on local behavior
