The plan

What we would do in Consett

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 Consett, with plumbing at the front of them on about 210 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.

Do the slower work first hereClicks in Consett cost about the ordinary amount, but enough businesses are competing that paying your way in buys a position you stop holding the moment you stop paying. The pages and the profile come first, and ads go on top once they are right.

Set your area across the boundary, not up to itConsett sits where more than one council meets. Rowlands Gill, under ten kilometres away, is Gateshead, and Prudhoe, about 13 kilometres away, is Northumberland. 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 ProfileIn a market as contested as Consett the businesses above you have finished theirs, so a half-filled profile is not a small gap, it is the whole gap. The map pack is drawn from the profile rather than the website: categories, service areas, hours, services listed and priced.

Get reviews that name the job and the placeAgainst competitors who already have volume, what a review says is the part you can still win on. Ask on the day, and ask them to name the town and the job: "sorted our boiler in Consett" beats "great service", because one of those is a phrase somebody searches.

Make your name, address and number identical everywhereIt is the dullest item on any list and the one most often quietly wrong. Every directory and every listing needs the same three lines, because in the map results this is what decides whether Google thinks you are one business or three.

The market

What Consett 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. An electrical search here costs an advertiser over one pound. A locksmith search costs around £26. 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 Annfield Plain at under seven kilometres, Rowlands Gill at under ten kilometres, Stanley at under ten kilometres. Each is its own search: being found in Consett 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.

Timing

When the work comes in around Consett

Search for locksmith in Consett peaks in December and bottoms out in July, with five 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.

Which means being in position before December rather than starting in it. Rankings take weeks to move and the competition here is heaviest exactly when the demand is, so arriving in the busy month means arriving behind everyone who was already there.

The arrangement

How it works

We start with a free look at the Consett 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. Consett 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.

You pay us nothing until the work has covered its own cost, which in a market this contested is the only honest way to sell it. One business per trade in Consett, 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.
