The plan

What we would do in Bodmin

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

01
Build for the trade that is actually searched hereOne trade dominates what people search for in Bodmin: plumbing, on around 140 searches a month against 50 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.
02
Ads are worth running early hereAds are worth running here early. Clicks in Bodmin are cheap by the standards of the places we cover and the auction is genuinely quiet, which means paid search can be earning while the slower work matures.
03
Set your service area to the ground you actually coverBodmin is its own town rather than a suburb, and that works in your favour. Wadebridge is under eleven kilometres away. St Blazey is about 13 kilometres away. St Austell is about 15 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 Bodmin that means a plumber, a builder, a roofer before anything else.
05
Fix what the site is quietly doing wrongMost sites around Bodmin 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.
06
Earn links from places that are actually localThere are only so many of these in a place the size of Bodmin, 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 Bodmin 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. A cleaning search here costs an advertiser under a pound. A plumbing search costs under three pounds. 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 Wadebridge at under eleven kilometres, St Blazey at about 13 kilometres, St Austell at about 15 kilometres. Each is its own search: being found in Bodmin does not put you in front of anybody there, which is why they have their own pages rather than a line on this one.

That said, the demand is not spread evenly across them. One trade carries far more of it than the rest, so breadth here is a long tail behind a single strong term rather than an even split.

The arrangement

How it works

First, a free analysis of the Bodmin 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 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 Bodmin, which suits a market like this one where the work is mostly tidying rather than a long fight. Rolling, cancel whenever.
