Ran a Facebook ad for a local bakery and it showed to people 300 miles away

I set up a location target for a 15 mile radius around their shop in Columbus, but the ad dashboard said most clicks came from Cleveland. I had to dig into the detailed reports and found Facebook's 'expanded audience' box was checked by default. Has anyone else had their ad budget wasted by a platform's hidden setting like that?

Yeah, they always hide those money traps. Gotta check every single box.

Ugh, classic Facebook. They really want to help you reach those out-of-town customers who will never drive three hours for a cupcake.
