Around Birmingham.
Birmingham combines a large city-centre professional and hospitality economy with an enormous surrounding residential base across the wider West Midlands. For trades and home services this means genuine volume, and correspondingly heavy competition on the obvious search terms. The businesses doing well tend to be specific about which parts of the city they cover rather than claiming the whole of it, because a customer in Sutton Coldfield and one in Selly Oak are looking for quite different things.
The nearest town in the same council area is Royal Sutton Coldfield (7 miles). Across the boundary into the next council area, Smethwick (3 miles), West Bromwich (5 miles), Oldbury (5 miles) and Rowley Regis (6 miles) are also close. If you cover some of these and not others, the site should name the ones you do.
Digbeth, Jewellery Quarter, Moseley, Edgbaston, Harborne, Kings Heath and Erdington: if you work in particular parts of Birmingham, those names belong on the site.
Birmingham addresses fall in the B postcode area, about 140 miles north-east of Exeter, where we are based.
