Just Escape Room

La Grange, IL, USA

Radius targeting to draw customers from neighboring suburbs

[ THE CHALLENGE ]

Just Escape Room sits in La Grange, a small suburb west of Chicago. The town alone is too small to keep an escape room busy. Their marketing focused on "escape room La Grange", which limited them to local searchers, and they needed reach into nearby suburbs without paying for downtown Chicago clicks.

[ OUR APPROACH ]

We set a radius around La Grange that covers Berwyn, Brookfield, Western Springs, Hinsdale, Oak Park and parts of Naperville, and targeted "escape room near me", "escape room west suburbs" and "things to do near La Grange". Downtown Chicago keywords were excluded to avoid wasted spend. Location extensions pointed out easy access from I-294 and I-55.
