Dartford is not one market but a set of towns, each searched by its own name.

So we work town by town, and trade by trade within them. This page covers the common ground; the pages below cover what differs.

We get you found on the map: profile, reviews, pages and listings, all pointing the same way.

The plan

What we would do across Dartford

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

Decide the order you build pages inDemand in Dartford is spread across a lot of trades rather than concentrated in one. That makes the order you build in matter more than usual: a page each for the two or three you actually want the work from, before anything else, rather than one page that gestures at all of them.

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.

Claim and finish the Google Business ProfileEverything in the map pack comes from the profile rather than from your website, and most profiles are half filled in. Categories, service areas, opening hours, services priced or at least listed. In Dartford that alone moves businesses that have never touched it.

Get reviews that name the job and the placeThe wording does more work than the count. Ask on the day, and ask people to name the town and the job, because "sorted our boiler in Dartford" beats "great service" twice over: Google reads those words, and so does the next person choosing.

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

The Dartford market

The biggest sectors here are construction with around 1,095 businesses, then professional and technical services and retail. That mix decides who is bidding against you and what a click ends up costing.

Searching by the district name itself is only part of it. Most people search by their own town, which is why the pages below exist.

Around 100 searches a month in Dartford come from businesses after this service. That is a steady trickle rather than a rush, so the field is moving, slowly, and there is still room near the front.

Where the people are matters more than the district total. Dartford holds about 68,713 of them, then Swanscombe at 15,368, Stone at 5,338. Those are the pins worth arguing about; the rest of Dartford is a drive.

Construction is 19.4 per cent of the businesses here, which is high. If you are a trade, that is your competition and it is crowded. If you are not, the local search results are less contested than the headline count suggests, because most of those businesses are chasing different words to you.

If your customers are spread across Dartford rather than concentrated in one town, this is the page to start from. If they are not, the town page will be a better fit.

The arrangement

How it works

We start with a free look at the Dartford 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 covers where the demand actually sits across Dartford, which of these towns is worth a page of its own, and which of the many trades searched here are worth building for first. You keep it either way, and if it is not worth doing we say so.

Nothing to pay until the work is bringing you enquiries and has covered its own cost. One business per trade per town across Dartford, so a business in one town and a competitor in another are both possible, but never two in the same place. It is rolling, and you can stop whenever you want.
