The area around Sandy.
Sandy is a small town on the Greensand Ridge in east Bedfordshire, home to the RSPB headquarters and surrounded by market gardens and heathland. It sits on the East Coast Main Line with quick trains to London, making it popular with commuters, and has grown with newer estates around the older town. Customers here often compare local firms with ones from Bedford or St Neots, so naming Sandy, Beeston and the nearby villages helps you appear first.
Biggleswade (3 miles), Potton (3 miles), Shefford (7 miles) and Stotfold (8 miles) are the nearest in the same council area. Across the boundary into the next council area, St Neots (7 miles), Bedford (8 miles), Wixams (8 miles) and Kempston (9 miles) are also close. Naming the towns you actually cover tells people straight away whether you will come to them.
Inside Sandy, the site can name areas such as Beeston, Girtford, Everton, Blunham, Moggerhanger and Tempsford.
Sandy (postcode area SG) sits about 170 miles north-east of Exeter.
