We get you found in search results: profile, reviews, pages and listings, all pointing the same way.

The plan

What we would do across Brighton and Hove

It is rarely one big thing. It is several small ones, and in a district carrying this many businesses per head they compound faster than they would somewhere quieter.

01
Start from the trade you actually wantThe search data we hold for Brighton and Hove 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.
02
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.
03
Give every service its own pageNobody searches for "our services", and with this many trades searched separately here, a combined page loses every one of them. One page per thing you sell, each written as though it were the only thing you did. In Brighton and Hove that means a locksmith, a cleaner, an electrician before anything else.
04
Fix what the site is quietly doing wrongPages that take four seconds to load, headings that describe nothing, three URLs serving the same content. None of it is visible to you and all of it is visible to Google, and it caps how far the writing can carry you.
05
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 Brighton and Hove do more for a local business than a hundred from anywhere else.
The market

The Brighton and Hove market

The biggest sectors here are professional and technical services with around 2,740 businesses, then information and communication 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.

Construction runs at 9.9 per cent of businesses here, about the national shape. No trade has an unusual advantage or disadvantage on competition alone, which puts the result back on execution.

If your customers are spread across Brighton and Hove 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

First, a free analysis of the Brighton and Hove 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 covers where the demand actually sits across Brighton and Hove, 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 Brighton and Hove, never two in the same place. Rolling, stop whenever.
