The area around Selby.
Selby is a market town on the River Ouse, dominated by its great abbey church and long associated with the huge Drax power station and the former Selby coalfield. It is increasingly a commuter base for Leeds and York, with large new estates on its edges and in villages such as Brayton and Thorpe Willoughby. New residents search online for trades and services, so a clear website naming these villages and newer developments is worth more here than word of mouth alone.
Inside North Yorkshire, the closest place is Tadcaster (11 miles). Just over the council boundary, Howden (9 miles) and Goole (10 miles) are close by. Further out, Pontefract (12 miles), Castleford (12 miles), York (12 miles) and Thorne (13 miles) are within commuting distance. A list of the places you really serve is more useful to a customer than “and surrounding areas”.
Barlby, Brayton, Thorpe Willoughby, Osgodby, Hambleton, Riccall, Camblesforth and Drax: if you work in particular parts of Selby, those names belong on the site.
Selby (postcode area YO) sits about 236 miles north-east of Exeter.
