When somebody in Mountain Ash needs what you sell, they search once, look at what comes back, and ring somebody. There is not a long list to get onto here, which cuts both ways.

If you are not in those few you never find out it happened. The difference here is the top is not defended hard.

We put you at the top today. Paid search puts you above the map from the day it goes live, which is the quickest way to find out whether the enquiries here are worth having.

The plan

What we would do in Mountain Ash

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

Build for the trade that is actually searched hereOne trade dominates what people search for in Mountain Ash: plumbing, on around 40 searches a month against 10 for the next one down. If that is what you do, everything starts there: one page built properly for it will do more than five built for things nobody here is looking for.

An ordinary price and a quiet auctionClicks here cost about what they cost anywhere, and fewer businesses are bidding for them than in most places we cover. Nothing about Mountain Ash makes paid search expensive; what decides it is whether the jobs behind those clicks are worth what they cost.

Set your service area to the ground you actually coverMountain Ash is its own town rather than a suburb, and that works in your favour. Aberdare is under five kilometres away. Treharris is under seven kilometres away. Rhondda is under eight kilometres away. A business pinned here reaches all of them well inside a twenty minute drive, so we set your area to match the van rather than the postcode.

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 Mountain Ash the searches worth keeping are a plumber, a builder, a cleaner.

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 Mountain Ash 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. A building search here costs an advertiser under a pound. A cleaning search costs over nine pounds. 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 Aberdare at under five kilometres, Treharris at under seven kilometres, Rhondda at under eight kilometres. Each is its own search: being found in Mountain Ash does not put you in front of anybody there, which is why they have their own pages rather than a line on this one.

Merthyr Tydfil sits under eight kilometres away and is a much bigger market. That is the direction to grow into, but Mountain Ash is the one you can win first, and winning where you are pinned is what makes the rest possible.

That said, the demand is not spread evenly across them. One trade carries far more of it than the rest, so breadth here is a long tail behind a single strong term rather than an even split.

The arrangement

How it works

A free analysis first: what a click costs in your trade around Mountain Ash, 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 Mountain Ash, which suits a market like this one where the work is mostly tidying rather than a long fight. Rolling, cancel whenever.
