The plan

What we would do in Hockley and Hawkwell

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 Hockley and Hawkwell 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.

Do not build on the town name aloneHockley and Hawkwell runs straight into Rochford, under four kilometres away, and people living here will often say Rochford when somebody asks where they are from. Which means they type it too. So we do not hang everything on the word Hockley and Hawkwell. We target the ground around you and let the bigger name do the work it is already doing.

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 Hockley and Hawkwell 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 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 Hockley and Hawkwell 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 building search here costs an advertiser under a pound. An electrical search costs around £44. 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 Ashingdon at under three kilometres, Rochford at under four kilometres, Rayleigh at under five kilometres. Each is its own search: being found in Hockley and Hawkwell does not put you in front of anybody there, which is why they have their own pages rather than a line on this one.

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 Hockley and Hawkwell, what people are actually searching for, and whether the sums work before anybody spends anything. It costs nothing, there is nothing to sign, and you keep it whether or not we end up working together.

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 Hockley and Hawkwell, so signing you means turning down the next one who asks. We do not claim the same for Rochford, which is a bigger market with room for more than one, and we would rather say that than let you assume otherwise. Rolling, stop whenever.
