Around Portlethen.
Portlethen grew rapidly from a small fishing village into a commuter town just south of Aberdeen, with large estates and industrial parks next to the dual carriageway. Many residents work in the city or the energy sector and look for services near home. Because it sits so close to Aberdeen, local firms face competition from city businesses. Being clearly local, naming Portlethen Village, Hillside and Newtonhill, and responding quickly are what win the work here.
Stonehaven (7 miles), Westhill (8 miles), Banchory (14 miles) and Inverurie (18 miles) are the nearest in the same council area. Across the boundary into the next council area, Aberdeen (6 miles) is also close. A longer drive takes in Montrose (28 miles). Naming the towns you actually cover tells people straight away whether you will come to them.
Portlethen Village, Hillside, Newtonhill, Cammachmore and Findon: if you work in particular parts of Portlethen, those names belong on the site.
Portlethen (postcode area AB) sits about 442 miles north of Exeter.
