The area around Dudley.
Dudley is often described as the capital of the Black Country, with its castle, zoo and the Black Country Living Museum, and the Merry Hill shopping centre nearby. The wider borough is a patchwork of distinct towns and districts, each with a strong local identity and a working, practical customer base. People here search by Sedgley, Gornal or Brierley Hill rather than by Dudley. A website that names those places and speaks in a plain, local voice will be taken more seriously than a generic Midlands listing.
Brierley Hill (3 miles) and Halesowen (4 miles) are the nearest in the same council area. Across the boundary into the next council area, Rowley Regis (2 miles), Tipton (3 miles), Oldbury (3 miles) and West Bromwich (4 miles) are also close. Naming the towns you actually cover tells people straight away whether you will come to them.
Inside Dudley, the site can name areas such as Netherton, Sedgley, Brierley Hill, Gornal, Kingswinford, Coseley and Woodside.
Dudley (postcode area DY) sits about 138 miles north-east of Exeter.
