I have been advertising in a 30 - 35 mile radius of my home, and for larger commercial work a 50- 60 mile radius. I have a v6 mini van that does good on the highway so I can spread myself out a bit

I don't advertise anywhere, but most of my biz is within a 20-mile radius.

We have 4 SM franchises that cover 5 counties. Probably 60-70 miles in any direction.

Private cc etc 30 mile radius.

Insurance work 50 mile radius.

Inspector work 150+ mile radius.

BUT, having said that, all my clients regardless of which category they fall into above, know what I charge and I always say, if they are will to pay my rates and travel charges, then I'm willing to go.

BINGO!

I have to drive 45 minutes, take a ferry ride to a small island that eats 45 minutes to an hour to get to work next week- BUT it's a 3 long day $3500 job. I know, not Mikey money, but acceptable to me.

lately 75-90 minutes in any direction for commercial clients.

vast majority is within 20 miles / 30 minutes.

Considering I've got a YP ad that goes across the southern island, I'm advertising at least 60miles away, not so bad really. Nice drive.
