Around Wem.
Wem is a small north Shropshire market town known as the home of the modern sweet pea, with a quiet high street, a strong agricultural hinterland and a station on the line between Shrewsbury and Crewe. Many residents commute to Shrewsbury or work locally in farming and small firms. Customers lean on word of mouth, so a site that confirms you are genuine and local, and names the villages covered, is the main job.
Ellesmere (8 miles), Whitchurch (8 miles), Shrewsbury (10 miles) and Market Drayton (11 miles) are the nearest in the same council area. A longer drive takes in Chirk (15 miles), Oakengates (16 miles) and Telford (17 miles). Naming the towns you actually cover tells people straight away whether you will come to them.
Inside Wem, the site can name areas such as Tilley, Aston, Loppington, Prees and Clive.
Wem addresses fall in the SY postcode area, about 151 miles north of Exeter, where we are based.
