The plan

What we would do in Hockley and Hawkwell

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 Hockley and Hawkwell 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.

Do not build on the town name aloneHockley and Hawkwell runs straight into Rochford, under four kilometres away, and people living here will often say Rochford when somebody asks where they are from. Which means they type it too. So we do not hang everything on the word Hockley and Hawkwell. We target the ground around you and let the bigger name do the work it is already doing.

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 Hockley and Hawkwell 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 Hockley and Hawkwell" beats "great service" twice over: Google reads those words, and so does the next person choosing.

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 Hockley and Hawkwell 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 building search here costs an advertiser under a pound. An electrical search costs around £44. 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 Ashingdon at under three kilometres, Rochford at under four kilometres, Rayleigh at under five kilometres. Each is its own search: being found in Hockley and Hawkwell 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.

The arrangement

How it works

We start with a free look at the Hockley and Hawkwell 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 the work is bringing you enquiries and has covered its own cost. One business per trade in Hockley and Hawkwell, so signing you means turning down the next one who asks. We do not claim the same for Rochford, which is a bigger market with room for more than one, and we would rather say that than let you assume otherwise. Rolling, stop whenever.
