Around Barnsley.
Barnsley is a former coal-mining town that has reinvented its centre around a large indoor market and new retail, while the wider borough is a patchwork of distinct former pit villages. People identify strongly with their own village, and a customer in Hoyland or Penistone wants to know you actually come out to them. For trades and home services that makes naming the villages you cover unusually useful, and word of mouth still counts, so a way to collect Google reviews is worth having from day one.
Penistone (6 miles) is the nearest in the same council area. Across the boundary into the next council area, Wath upon Dearne (7 miles), Hemsworth (7 miles), Stocksbridge (7 miles) and South Elmsall (8 miles) are also close. Naming the towns you actually cover tells people straight away whether you will come to them.
Inside Barnsley, the site can name areas such as Worsbrough, Monk Bretton, Hoyland, Penistone, Darton, Cudworth and Wombwell.
