Brighton and Hove is not one market but a set of towns, each searched by its own name.

So we work town by town, and trade by trade within them. This page covers the common ground; the pages below cover what differs.

We put you at the top today. Across a district this size that means several tight campaigns, not one wide one that wastes most of its budget.

The plan

What we would do across Brighton and Hove

It is rarely one big thing. It is several small ones, and in a district carrying this many businesses per head they compound faster than they would somewhere quieter.

01
Start from the trade you actually wantThe search data we hold for Brighton and Hove 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.
02
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.
03
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 Brighton and Hove the searches worth keeping are a locksmith, a cleaner, an electrician.
04
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. With this many trades searched separately in Brighton and Hove, one shared landing page wastes most of what you pay for.
05
Set the budget against what a job is worthWork back from the job, not from a monthly figure. At the prices above, a campaign only makes sense if you know what one enquiry is worth to you and how many of them you convert.
The market

The Brighton and Hove market

The biggest sectors here are professional and technical services with around 2,740 businesses, then information and communication and retail. That mix decides who is bidding against you and what a click ends up costing.

Searching by the district name itself is only part of it. Most people search by their own town, which is why the pages below exist.

Construction runs at 9.9 per cent of businesses here, about the national shape. No trade has an unusual advantage or disadvantage on competition alone, which puts the result back on execution.

If your customers are spread across Brighton and Hove rather than concentrated in one town, this is the page to start from. If they are not, the town page will be a better fit.
