Around Exeter.
Exeter is the commercial centre for a large and mostly rural catchment, so businesses here regularly serve customers well beyond the city itself - across east and mid Devon and often further. That makes the coverage area an unusually important thing to state clearly. The city has a substantial professional, university and hospitality economy relative to its size, and a compact centre where independent businesses are the norm rather than the exception.
Closest to Exeter within the Exeter council area: Topsham (4 miles). Elsewhere in Devon: Crediton (7 miles), Chudleigh (9 miles), Exmouth (9 miles) and Dawlish (10 miles). It is worth saying plainly which of these you travel to, so people further out know whether to call.
Inside Exeter, the site can name areas such as St Leonards, Heavitree, St Thomas, Pennsylvania, Exwick and Topsham.
