The area around Crook.
Crook is a former mining town in County Durham on the edge of Weardale, with a large market place and a close, working community. Coal once dominated, and now many residents commute to Durham or Bishop Auckland. Housing is mostly terraced and post-war, often needing ongoing repair. Customers value local firms with fair prices, and a website should name the surrounding villages such as Billy Row and Willington, which look to Crook for services.
Tow Law (4 miles), Bishop Auckland (4 miles), Wolsingham (6 miles) and Spennymoor (6 miles) are the nearest in the same council area. Naming the towns you actually cover tells people straight away whether you will come to them.
Inside Crook, the site can name areas such as Billy Row, Sunniside, Stanley Crook, Helmington Row, Roddymoor and Willington.
Crook (postcode area DL) sits about 286 miles north of Exeter.
