Around St Ives.
St Ives in Cornwall is a famous harbour town known for its beaches, its artists' colony and the Tate St Ives gallery. Tourism dominates the economy, and a large share of homes are holiday lets and second homes, so trades and cleaners have a strong changeover and maintenance market with sharp seasonal peaks. Narrow streets make access and parking a practical issue. A site that names Carbis Bay, Lelant and Halsetown and is clear about availability suits the town.
Inside Cornwall, the closest places are Hayle (3 miles), Marazion (6 miles), Penzance (7 miles) and Newlyn (8 miles). A list of the places you really serve is more useful to a customer than “and surrounding areas”.
Carbis Bay, Lelant, Halsetown, Downalong and Upalong: if you work in particular parts of St Ives, those names belong on the site.
St Ives addresses fall in the TR postcode area, about 93 miles west of Exeter, where we are based.
