By ZIP code, not a wide circle
I start with Oakdale (11769) and the ZIP codes your trucks already cover nearby, then exclude the towns you don't serve. You stop paying for clicks from the wrong side of Suffolk County.

Oakdale at a glance
Oakdale is a South Shore hamlet on the Great South Bay that grew along two old trade routes now followed by Sunrise Highway and Montauk Highway. It was once a Gilded Age estate area, including Vanderbilt's Idle Hour on the Connetquot River, and it is home to Connetquot River State Park Preserve and St. John's Episcopal Church, built in 1765.

Campaign plan
How I'd set up Google Ads for a Oakdale plumber.
Searches that mean "I need a plumber now"
Campaigns are built around the jobs you want more of, with the town name in the ad, and searches like "plumbing school" or "DIY" removed every week.

A page that says Oakdale
Your number at the top, tap-to-call on mobile, your reviews and the towns you cover around Oakdale. One service per page: emergencies, water heaters, drains.
Cesspools and septic are a real search here
Suffolk County counts more than 360,000 individual cesspools and septic systems (Suffolk County, 2016). If you do that work, it gets its own campaign and its own page, separate from emergency plumbing.
What it costs
From $800 a month, flat.
Management, landing page and call tracking included. Ad spend is paid to Google directly, usually $1,500 to $3,000 a month to start on Long Island. No setup fee, no % of ad spend, month to month. Full pricing.
