No published price; it depends on your market. What moves it in Lancing and Sompting: how many businesses compete for what you do, how much has to be built or fixed on the site, and how far off page one you start. The spread between what a click is worth in different trades here is the clearest signal of which of those matters most for you. You pay nothing until it has paid for itself.

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.

Give every service its own pageOne page per thing you sell, because nobody searches for "our services". A page that tries to cover everything ranks for nothing in particular. In Lancing and Sompting that means a locksmith, a plumber, a builder before anything else.

Fix what the site is quietly doing wrongMost sites around Lancing and Sompting have none of this dealt with, which makes it a rare case where the dull work alone can move you up. Slow pages, headings that describe nothing, several URLs quietly serving the same content.

Earn links from places that are actually localA supplier, a trade body, the local paper, the club you sponsor. Links from things genuinely rooted in Lancing and Sompting do more for a local business than a hundred from anywhere else.

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

First, a free analysis of the Lancing and Sompting search results for what you sell: what you rank for now, what you could rank for, and how much of the gap is work on your own site rather than anything outside it. 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.
