Wells and the places nearby.
Wells is a tiny cathedral city at the foot of the Mendips, with twice-weekly markets, a steady flow of day visitors and a strong pull on the villages around it. Visitors want opening times and directions; residents want a trusted name they can ring. A small Wells business usually serves both, so the site has to keep current hours obvious for the first group while giving the second group proof you are local and still going to be here next year.
The nearest towns in the same council area are Shepton Mallet (5 miles), Glastonbury (5 miles), Street (7 miles) and Axbridge (9 miles). Across the boundary into the next council area, Midsomer Norton (9 miles) is also close. A longer drive takes in Radstock (10 miles). If you cover some of these and not others, the site should name the ones you do.
Within Wells itself, we build for businesses in Wookey Hole, Wookey, Coxley, Croscombe and Dinder.
From our base in Exeter, Wells is about 51 miles to the north-east. Its postcodes start BA.
