The five busiest post towns hold 36 per cent of them and London alone 28 per cent. Selling nationally, those towns are most of the market. Selling locally outside them, expect a small pool, so cover a county or a region rather than one town.
A worked example: 26400, registered office in London, incorporated in the last ninety days, from a pool of 1,683. Each lead you get arrives with a working website and a real email, and the director's name when the record has one. If we cannot complete one, you pay nothing.

How to read SIC 26400
SIC 26400 reads as division 26 (manufacture of computer, electronic and optical products), group 264, class 2640, then the full five digits, inside section C, manufacturing. A company picks its own codes, up to four, and Companies House does not check them, so 26400 is the company's own description of what it does, and 1,413 list it first where 1,683 list it anywhere.
Who sells into division 26
Component distributors, contract electronics manufacturers, PCB fabricators and test equipment suppliers sell into this division constantly. Specialist recruiters do too, because embedded and RF engineering skills are scarce.

Is a company that designs but does not manufacture electronics in division 26?
Frequently yes, and that is a known blur in the classification. A fabless design house often files a division 26 code because that is where its product sits, even though the physical work is contracted out. Some use 71129 engineering design instead. Match on any SIC position and expect both.
