The area around Crawley.
Crawley is a post-war new town built around self-contained neighbourhoods, each with its own parade of shops, and its economy is dominated by Gatwick Airport and the Manor Royal business district. Plenty of residents work shifts at the airport, so enquiries arrive at all hours. Because people identify strongly with their neighbourhood, a trades or home-services site that names Three Bridges, Broadfield or Maidenbower reads as genuinely local. Commercial cleaners, electricians and facilities trades also have a real business-to-business market on the industrial estates.
Elsewhere in West Sussex, Horsham (7 miles), East Grinstead (8 miles), Haywards Heath (9 miles) and Burgess Hill (11 miles) are within reach. Across the boundary into the next council area, Horley (4 miles), Reigate (9 miles) and Redhill (9 miles) are also close. A longer drive takes in Dorking (10 miles). Naming the towns you actually cover tells people straight away whether you will come to them.
Three Bridges, Maidenbower, Pound Hill, Broadfield, Ifield, Southgate, Tilgate and Forge Wood: if you work in particular parts of Crawley, those names belong on the site.
Crawley (postcode area RH) sits about 148 miles east of Exeter.
