The plan

What we would do across Kensington and Chelsea

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 Kensington and Chelsea 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 Kensington and Chelsea the searches worth keeping are an electrician, a plumber, a locksmith.
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 Kensington and Chelsea, one shared landing page wastes most of what you pay for.
05
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

The Kensington and Chelsea market

The biggest sectors here are professional and technical services with around 3,095 businesses, then retail and business support. That mix is worth knowing even though the bidding here is light, because it tells you which of your neighbours will start competing first.

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 is only 5.6 per cent of the businesses here, which is low for a UK district. Trades have less local competition than usual; everybody else has more, because the district's businesses are concentrated in offices and shops rather than vans.

If your customers are spread across Kensington and Chelsea 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.

Timing

When the work comes in around Kensington and Chelsea

Search for plumbing in Kensington and Chelsea peaks in September and falls away to its lowest in May, a swing of about roughly ten times across the year.

Ads can be turned on in September itself and still work, and in an auction as quiet as this one the seasonal peak is the cheapest good month you will get. Weight the budget towards it rather than spreading it evenly.
