The plan

What we would do in Chigwell

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 Chigwell, with building at the front of them on about 90 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
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
Do not build on the town name aloneChigwell runs straight into Redbridge, under four kilometres away, and people living here will often say Redbridge when somebody asks where they are from. Which means they type it too. So we do not hang everything on the word Chigwell. We target the ground around you and let the bigger name do the work it is already doing.
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 Chigwell that means a builder, a locksmith, a plumber before anything else.
05
Fix what the site is quietly doing wrongMost sites around Chigwell 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 Chigwell, 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 Chigwell 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 building search here costs an advertiser under a pound. A locksmith search costs around £51. 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 Buckhurst Hill at under three kilometres, Redbridge at under four kilometres, Loughton at under four kilometres. Each is its own search: being found in Chigwell does not put you in front of anybody there, which is why they have their own pages rather than a line on this one.

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 Chigwell 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 Chigwell, so signing you means turning down the next one who asks. We do not claim the same for Redbridge, which is a bigger market with room for more than one, and we would rather say that than let you assume otherwise. Rolling, cancel whenever.
