If you are not in those few you never find out it happened, and here that is most businesses most of the time.

We put you at the top today. With this many trades searched separately here, paid search is also the fastest way to find out which of them is actually worth your money, because it tells you inside a fortnight rather than a quarter.

The plan

What we would do in Faversham

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

Build for the trade that is actually searched hereOne trade dominates what people search for in Faversham: plumbing, on around 390 searches a month against 90 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.

A busy auction at an ordinary priceFaversham 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 itFaversham sits where more than one council meets. Whitstable, under eleven kilometres away, is Canterbury, and Lenham and Harrietsham, about 16 kilometres away, is Maidstone. 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 Faversham the searches worth keeping are a plumber, a builder, 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. With this many trades searched separately in Faversham, one shared landing page wastes most of what you pay for.

Set the budget against what a job is worthAt those prices, and with advertisers in Faversham 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 Faversham 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 and volume are not the same thing. An advertiser here pays over two pounds for a roofing search and around £17 for a locksmith one, and across as many trades as this town searches for that spread is the map of where the money actually is. Nobody pays several times more for a visitor unless the job at the end is worth several times more.

If you travel, the nearest markets are Teynham at under seven kilometres, Sittingbourne at under eleven kilometres, Whitstable at under eleven kilometres. Each is its own search: being found in Faversham does not put you in front of anybody there, which is why they have their own pages rather than a line on this one.

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 Faversham, what people are actually searching for, and whether the sums work before anybody spends anything. Faversham is contested enough that this is the part that matters most, because it is where we work out whether the businesses above you can be passed at all. You keep it, and if the answer is that they cannot, you get told that in plain terms.

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 Faversham, and that covers both sides of the boundary from here, because it is one market to you even though it is two councils. It is rolling, and you can stop whenever you want.
