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 Lymm

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

Cover the few trades that carry this marketA handful of trades carry most of what gets searched in Lymm, with plumbing at the front of them on about 50 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.

Cheap clicks, but not an empty auctionClicks in Lymm sit in the cheaper quarter of the places we cover, which is the good news. The competition is not correspondingly light, so the budget goes further here than elsewhere but position still has to be argued for rather than bought.

Set your area across the boundary, not up to itLymm sits where more than one council meets. Partington, under seven kilometres away, is Trafford, and Irlam, under nine kilometres away, is Salford. 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 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 Lymm the searches worth keeping are a plumber, a roofer, 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 Lymm 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. An electrical search here costs an advertiser under a pound. A roofing search costs over ten 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 Partington at under seven kilometres, Warrington at under seven kilometres, Bowdon at under eight kilometres. Each is its own search: being found in Lymm does not put you in front of anybody there, which is why they have their own pages rather than a line on this one.

Warrington sits under seven kilometres away and is a much bigger market. That is the direction to grow into, but Lymm 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.

The arrangement

How it works

A free analysis first: what a click costs in your trade around Lymm, 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 Lymm, and that covers both sides of the boundary from here, because it is one market to you even though it is two councils. Rolling, cancel whenever.
