The plan

What we would do in Chandler's Ford

Almost never one big thing. Several small ones, and in a market this size fixing even two of them usually changes the order.

01
Cover the few trades that carry this marketA handful of trades carry most of what gets searched in Chandler's Ford, with plumbing at the front of them on about 110 searches a month. That is a short enough list to cover properly, which is not true of every place, and it means the whole job here is finite.
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
Do not build on the town name aloneChandler's Ford runs straight into Eastleigh, under four kilometres away, and people living here will often say Eastleigh when somebody asks where they are from. Which means they type it too. So we do not hang everything on the word Chandler's Ford. We target the ground around you and let the bigger name do the work it is already doing.
04
Cut the searches that waste the budgetIn a market this size every wasted click is a bigger share of the budget than it would be elsewhere, so the first job is subtraction rather than bidding. Strip out the jobs you do not take, the areas you do not cover and the people who are only reading. In Chandler's Ford the searches worth keeping are a plumber, a locksmith, a cleaner.
05
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.
06
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

What Chandler's Ford is worth

The searches here are real but there are not many of them, which changes what winning means: a high share of a small number rather than a slice of a big one. That is the shape of the market you are in.

Value is not the same as volume. An electrical search here costs an advertiser over one pound. A locksmith search costs around £25. 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 Eastleigh at under four kilometres, North Baddesley at under five kilometres, Romsey at under seven kilometres. Each is its own search: being found in Chandler's Ford does not put you in front of anybody there, which is why they have their own pages rather than a line on this one.

Eastleigh sits under four kilometres away and is a much bigger market. That is the direction to grow into, but Chandler's Ford 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.

The arrangement

How it works

A free analysis first: what a click costs in your trade around Chandler's Ford, what people are actually searching for, and whether the sums work before anybody spends anything. It is a short one, because this is not a complicated market: you will know inside a page or two where you stand and what is in the way. You keep it whatever you decide to do next.

Nothing to pay us until the ads have paid for themselves, and your click budget goes to Google either way, which we are straight about from the start. One business per trade in Chandler's Ford, so signing you means turning down the next one who asks. We do not claim the same for Eastleigh, which is a bigger market with room for more than one, and we would rather say that than let you assume otherwise. Rolling, cancel whenever.
