Two kinds of business stand out against the UK average: holiday lets and other short-stay accommodation, at 3.4 times the national share, and hotels, guest houses and similar serviced accommodation, at twice.
By count, the largest group is management consultancies, with about 1,425 businesses. At the other end, other health practices are scarcer than usual: 57% of the UK share.

The area around Ripon.
Ripon is a small cathedral city that works like a market town, with the square still at the centre of trading life and a racecourse and Fountains Abbey drawing visitors through the season. Much of the custom comes from the surrounding villages and farms rather than the city itself. For a local business, that means naming the villages you actually drive out to, because someone in Bishop Monkton searching for a joiner is unlikely to type "Ripon" at all.
The nearest towns in the same council area are Boroughbridge (6 miles), Masham (8 miles), Knaresborough (9 miles) and Harrogate (10 miles). If you cover some of these and not others, the site should name the ones you do.
Sharow, Littlethorpe, Bishop Monkton and North Stainley: if you work in particular parts of Ripon, those names belong on the site.
Ripon (postcode area HG) sits about 251 miles north of Exeter.
