Designing for Leominster: the facts that matter

Heating oil and kerosene still heat 36.4% of homes in Leominster. Housing decides what kind of help people call for: repairs, heating service, roofing and yard work depend on the kind of homes people live in. If your service fits this housing, say so by name (propane delivery, oil furnaces, wood stoves, mobile homes, condo buildings): that is what people type. The website is where that gets settled, so it pays to get the basics right.

Most of Leominster owns its home (62.3% of households), and Worcester is 18 miles away. A commuter city researches at night and calls in the morning. Make it obvious you are in Leominster and name the streets and subdivisions you serve; that is your advantage over the metro.

With Interstate 190 crossing the city limits, Leominster sees traffic from far beyond Worcester County. Highway traffic brings freight: trucking, repair, towing and parts suppliers serve people who will never live in Leominster. One screen with services, hours and location is what a traveler needs.

About 43 inches of rain and melted snow fall in a normal year, most of it in October. The high reaches 90°F or more on about 15 days a year, and the low falls to freezing or below on about 137 days.
