Northampton and the places nearby.
Northampton is a very large town, without city status, with a shoemaking heritage and a big modern logistics economy along the M1. It is spread out, with distinct districts and a string of newer eastern and southern estates, so "Northampton" covers very different neighbourhoods. Competition on generic search terms is fairly heavy for a town, which makes neighbourhood-level relevance worth more. A business site that names the districts it serves and makes quick contact easy tends to outperform a vague county-wide one.
Closest to Northampton within West Northamptonshire: Towcester (8 miles) and Daventry (11 miles). Just over the council boundary, Wellingborough (10 miles) and Olney (10 miles) are close by. Further out, Burton Latimer (13 miles), Newport Pagnell (13 miles), Stony Stratford (13 miles) and Rushden (13 miles) are within commuting distance. It is worth saying plainly which of these you travel to, so people further out know whether to call.
