The plan

What we would do in Poynton

Almost never one big thing. Several small ones, and in a market this size fixing even two of them usually changes the order.

01
Cover the few trades that carry this marketA handful of trades carry most of what gets searched in Poynton, with plumbing at the front of them on about 70 searches a month. That is a short enough list to cover properly, which is not true of every place, and it means the whole job here is finite.
02
Ads are cheap here, so run them alongsideClicks in Poynton sit in the cheaper quarter of everywhere we cover, so ads are an inexpensive way to have something working while the slower job matures. The auction is not empty, so treat them as a supplement rather than the whole plan.
03
Set your service area to the ground you actually coverPoynton is its own town rather than a suburb, and that works in your favour. Hazel Grove is under three kilometres away. Bramhall is under four kilometres away. Cheadle Hulme is under six kilometres away. A business pinned here reaches all of them well inside a twenty minute drive, so we set your area to match the van rather than the postcode.
04
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 Poynton that means a plumber, a builder, a cleaner before anything else.
05
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.
06
Earn links from places that are actually localThere are only so many of these in a place the size of Poynton, which makes them worth having and quick to exhaust, so we start with the ones that will actually answer. A supplier, a trade body, the local paper, whatever you sponsor.
The market

What Poynton is worth

The searches here are real but there are not many of them, which changes what winning means: a high share of a small number rather than a slice of a big one. That is the shape of the market you are in.

Value is not the same as volume. An electrical search here costs an advertiser under a pound. A locksmith search costs around £14. 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 Hazel Grove at under three kilometres, Bramhall at under four kilometres, Cheadle Hulme at under six kilometres. Each is its own search: being found in Poynton does not put you in front of anybody there, which is why they have their own pages rather than a line on this one.

Stockport sits under eight kilometres away and is a much bigger market. That is the direction to grow into, but Poynton 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.

Straight answers

Questions people ask

The arrangement

How it works

First, a free analysis of the Poynton 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 is a short one, because this is not a complicated market: you will know inside a page or two where you stand and what is in the way. You keep it whatever you decide to do next.

Nothing to pay until the work is bringing you enquiries and has covered its own cost. One business per trade in Poynton, so once we have signed you the next business in your trade gets told the slot has gone. Rolling, cancel whenever.
