Around Salford.
Salford sits directly across the Irwell from Manchester, and MediaCityUK at Salford Quays has brought broadcasters, digital firms and new apartment blocks alongside long-established terraced neighbourhoods and the university. Customers here often search as if they were in Manchester, which makes it easy for Salford businesses to get lost. Naming Salford and its districts clearly, rather than sheltering under the bigger city, is a straightforward way to stand out in local results.
Closest to Salford within the Salford council area: Eccles (2 miles). Just over the council boundary, Manchester (2 miles), Stretford (2 miles), Sale (4 miles) and Middleton (6 miles) are close by. It is worth saying plainly which of these you travel to, so people further out know whether to call.
Inside Salford, the site can name areas such as Salford Quays, Ordsall, Eccles, Swinton, Worsley and Pendleton.
From our base in Exeter, Salford is about 198 miles to the north. Its postcodes start M.
