The plan

What we would do in Bexhill-on-Sea

It is rarely one big thing. It is several small ones, and they compound.

Cover the few trades that carry this marketA handful of trades carry most of what gets searched in Bexhill-on-Sea, with plumbing at the front of them on about 320 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.

A busy auction at an ordinary priceBexhill-on-Sea is contested without being expensive. Position comes from relevance rather than from outbidding anybody, which means the ad text and the page behind it decide more here than the budget does.

Set your area across the boundary, not up to itBexhill-on-Sea sits where more than one council meets. Hastings, under nine kilometres away, is its own council, and Eastbourne, about 14 kilometres away, is its own council. Very little else nearby puts that many authorities within reach of one business, which means the area you can realistically serve is wider than your postcode suggests. We set your service area to match where you actually go, not where the boundary happens to fall.

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 Bexhill-on-Sea the searches worth keeping are a plumber, an electrician, a locksmith.

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 worthAt those prices, and with advertisers in Bexhill-on-Sea bidding as hard as they do, a monthly figure picked in advance is how budgets get spent without anybody knowing whether they worked. Work back from what one enquiry is worth to you and how many you convert.

The market

What Bexhill-on-Sea 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 roofing search here costs an advertiser under a pound. A locksmith search costs around £22. 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 Hastings at under nine kilometres, Eastbourne at about 14 kilometres, Hailsham at about 14 kilometres. Each is its own search: being found in Bexhill-on-Sea does not put you in front of anybody there, which is why they have their own pages rather than a line on this one.

Hastings sits under nine kilometres away and is a much bigger market. That is the direction to grow into, but Bexhill-on-Sea 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.

Timing

When the work comes in around Bexhill-on-Sea

Search for building in Bexhill-on-Sea peaks in January and bottoms out in June, with four times as much volume at the top of the year as at the bottom. Every trade has its own shape here, and that one is the sharpest.

Ads are the one thing here you can turn on in January itself and still benefit from. What the swing should change is the budget: a flat monthly figure spends the same in the quiet months as in the month that actually pays, and in an auction bid this hard the busy month is also the dear one.
