Ipswich and the places nearby.
Ipswich is the commercial centre for a wide and largely rural Suffolk catchment, with a waterfront regeneration area and a mixed insurance and business services base. Like Norwich, relative distance from other centres means local search is less contested than the population alone would suggest, which is a real advantage for businesses that take it seriously.
Elsewhere in Suffolk, Kesgrave (4 miles), Woodbridge (7 miles), Needham Market (8 miles) and Hadleigh (9 miles) are within reach. Across the boundary into the next council area, Manningtree (9 miles), Harwich (10 miles) and Dovercourt (10 miles) are also close. If you cover some of these and not others, the site should name the ones you do.
Inside Ipswich, the site can name areas such as Waterfront, Christchurch, Felixstowe Road, Ravenswood and Whitton.
Ipswich (postcode area IP) sits about 222 miles north-east of Exeter.
