Maidstone and the places nearby.
Maidstone is Kent's county town and the commercial hub for mid Kent, with public-sector employment, a large retail centre and good road and rail links towards London. Its catchment runs from dense town-centre housing to prosperous Wealden villages, so a trade's typical job varies a lot depending on direction of travel. Plenty of local customers search by their village rather than by Maidstone, which makes naming places like Bearsted, Loose and Barming one of the more useful things a Maidstone website can do.
Elsewhere in Kent, West Malling (5 miles), Snodland (5 miles), Paddock Wood (9 miles) and Sittingbourne (10 miles) are within reach. Across the boundary into the next council area, Gillingham (7 miles), Chatham (8 miles) and Rochester (8 miles) are also close. Naming the towns you actually cover tells people straight away whether you will come to them.
Within Maidstone itself, we build for businesses in Bearsted, Allington, Barming, Loose, Shepway, Penenden Heath, Boughton Monchelsea and Aylesford.
Maidstone (postcode area ME) sits about 180 miles east of Exeter.
