The plan

What we would do in Lancing and Sompting

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 Lancing and Sompting 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.

Earn the clicks before you buy themClicks here are expensive relative to most places we cover, which usually means the jobs behind them are worth having. It also means ads are an unforgiving way to start. We would get the map results and the pages right first, so that when you do pay for a click you are not paying for one you could have had free.

Set your area across the boundary, not up to itLancing and Sompting sits where more than one council meets. Worthing, under six kilometres away, is its own council, and Rustington, under eleven kilometres away, is Arun. 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.

Claim and finish the Google Business ProfileAcross Lancing and Sompting most profiles are half filled in, which is unusual and makes this the cheapest advantage on the page. What the map pack shows is drawn from the profile, not the website, so finishing yours properly puts you ahead of businesses that have simply never looked.

Get reviews that name the job and the placeHardly anybody here asks at all, which makes this the cheapest thing on the list. A steady trickle of reviews puts you ahead of most of Lancing and Sompting, and reviews that name the town and the job do it faster than reviews that say "great service".

Make your name, address and number identical everywhereEvery directory, every listing, the same three lines. The dullest item on any list and the one most often quietly wrong.

The market

What Lancing and Sompting 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 cleaning search here costs an advertiser under two pounds. A locksmith search costs around £32. 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 Shoreham-by-Sea at under four kilometres, Worthing at under six kilometres, Southwick at under seven kilometres. Each is its own search: being found in Lancing and Sompting does not put you in front of anybody there, which is why they have their own pages rather than a line on this one.

Worthing sits under six kilometres away and is a much bigger market. That is the direction to grow into, but Lancing and Sompting 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

We start with a free look at the Lancing and Sompting map results for what you do: where you sit now, who holds the top three, and what would have to change for you to be one of them. It costs nothing, there is nothing to sign, and you keep it whether or not we end up working together.

Nothing to pay until it has paid for itself, and in a market as lightly fought as this one that usually does not take long. One business per trade in Lancing and Sompting, and that covers both sides of the boundary from here, because it is one market to you even though it is two councils. Rolling, stop whenever.
