The area around Runcorn.
Runcorn combines an old riverside town with a large new town built around it, laid out in distinct estates linked by busways. The chemical industry has long been a major employer, and the Mersey Gateway bridge now ties it closely to Widnes and Liverpool. Newer developments like Sandymoor attract families who search online first. Because most people identify with their estate rather than "Runcorn", naming the areas you cover is the simplest way to show up in the right searches.
Inside Halton, the closest place is Widnes (1 mile). Just over the council boundary, Frodsham (3 miles), Halewood (4 miles), Warrington (7 miles) and Prescot (7 miles) are close by. A list of the places you really serve is more useful to a customer than “and surrounding areas”.
Inside Runcorn, the site can name areas such as Halton, Castlefields, Palace Fields, Windmill Hill, Beechwood, Weston, Murdishaw and Sandymoor.
From our base in Exeter, Runcorn is about 184 miles to the north. Its postcodes start WA.
