Key to improving your listing on SERPs (Search Engine Results Pages) are local keywords. You are a local business serving local business. If you are in Houston and get search traffic from New Hampshire it's not going to do you any good.
Depending on your firms location and reach there are any number of search terms you might use if you're up in "The North Bay". You know your local vernacular much better than we every can.
Yes Napa County is in California, but California isn't a useful search term when you want local traffic - and San Francisco Bay Area probably isn't either and maybe not even North Bay.
