The plan

What we would do in Lancing and Sompting

It is rarely one big thing. It is several small ones, and they compound.

Start from the trade you actually wantThe search data we hold for Lancing and Sompting is measured against its formal name, which is not the name people type, so we will not quote a volume here that we cannot stand behind. What we would do first is establish which trade you actually want the work from, and build for that one before anything else.

Dear clicks, so waste costs doubleClicks here are expensive relative to most places we cover, which usually means the jobs behind them are worth having. It also means every wasted click costs more than it would elsewhere, so the negatives matter before the bids do.

Set your area across the boundary, not up to itLancing and Sompting sits where more than one council meets. Worthing, under six kilometres away, is its own council, and Rustington, under eleven kilometres away, is Arun. Very little else nearby puts that many authorities within reach of one business, which means the area you can realistically serve is wider than your postcode suggests. We set your service area to match where you actually go, not where the boundary happens to fall.

Cut the searches that waste the budgetMost wasted spend is not bad bidding, it is paying for searches you never wanted. Negatives before bids: jobs you do not take, areas you do not serve, people researching rather than buying. In Lancing and Sompting the searches worth keeping are a locksmith, a plumber, a builder.

Send the click to a page about what they searchedA click for one trade landing on a homepage that lists eight is the most common reason ads cost more than they should. One page per campaign, matching the words in the ad.

Set the budget against what a job is worthThose prices sound like a lot until you set them against a job. That is the sum that matters, not a monthly figure: what one enquiry is worth to you, and how many of them you turn into work.

The market

What Lancing and Sompting is worth

The searches here are real and steady, and somebody is picking them up today. That is the market you are competing in.

Value is not the same as volume. A cleaning search here costs an advertiser under two pounds. A locksmith search costs around £32. Nobody pays several times more for a visitor unless the job at the end is worth several times more, so the size of a market and the value of it are two different questions.

If you travel, the nearest markets are Shoreham-by-Sea at under four kilometres, Worthing at under six kilometres, Southwick at under seven kilometres. Each is its own search: being found in Lancing and Sompting does not put you in front of anybody there, which is why they have their own pages rather than a line on this one.

Worthing sits under six kilometres away and is a much bigger market. That is the direction to grow into, but Lancing and Sompting is the one you can win first, and winning where you are pinned is what makes the rest possible.

It is not one trade either, which tells you the habit here is local rather than people defaulting to the nearest big town for everything.
