Stevenage 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. Across a district worked as hard as this one, consistency is what separates businesses that otherwise look the same.

The plan

What we would do across Stevenage

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

Build for the trade that is actually searched hereOne trade dominates what people search for in Stevenage: plumbing, on around 1,000 searches a month against 390 for the next one down. If that is what you do, everything starts there: one page built properly for it will do more than five built for things nobody here is looking for.

Do the slower work first hereClicks in Stevenage 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.

Claim and finish the Google Business ProfileIn a market as contested as Stevenage 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 Stevenage" 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

The Stevenage market

The biggest sectors here are construction with around 670 businesses, then professional and technical services and business support. In a district bid this hard, that mix is most of the reason: those sectors are the ones driving the price of a click up.

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 90 searches a month in Stevenage 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.

Construction is 16.5 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 Stevenage 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.

Timing

When the work comes in around Stevenage

Search for roofing in Stevenage peaks in September and bottoms out in June, 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 September 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 Stevenage 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 Stevenage, 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.

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 per town across Stevenage, 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.
