The plan

What we would do in Neath

It is rarely one big thing. It is several small ones, and they compound.

01
Cover the few trades that carry this marketA handful of trades carry most of what gets searched in Neath, with plumbing at the front of them on about 260 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 Neath 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 coverNeath is its own town rather than a suburb, and that works in your favour. Baglan is under four kilometres away. Cwmavon is under seven kilometres away. Clydach is under seven 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 Neath that means a plumber, a roofer, a locksmith 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 localA supplier, a trade body, the local paper, the club you sponsor. A handful of links from things genuinely rooted in Neath does more for a local business than a hundred from anywhere else.
The market

What Neath 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 over one pound. A locksmith search costs around £13. 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 Baglan at under four kilometres, Cwmavon at under seven kilometres, Clydach at under seven kilometres. Each is its own search: being found in Neath does not put you in front of anybody there, which is why they have their own pages rather than a line on this one.

Swansea sits under nine kilometres away and is a much bigger market. That is the direction to grow into, but Neath 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.

Timing

When the work comes in around Neath

Search for locksmith in Neath peaks in September and bottoms out in February, with three times as much volume at the top of the year as at the bottom. Every trade has its own shape here, and that one is the sharpest.

Which makes the quiet part of the year the part that matters. The work takes weeks to show, so what you build while nobody is looking is what is standing when September comes round.

Straight answers

Questions people ask

The arrangement

How it works

First, a free analysis of the Neath 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 the work is bringing you enquiries and has covered its own cost. One business per trade in Neath, so once we have signed you the next business in your trade gets told the slot has gone. It is rolling, and you can stop whenever you want.
