The plan

What we would do in Aldridge

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 Aldridge, with plumbing at the front of them on about 50 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 Aldridge 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 coverAldridge is its own town rather than a suburb, and that works in your favour. Rushall and Shelfield is under three kilometres away. Streetly is under four kilometres away. Pelsall is under five 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 Aldridge that means a plumber, a builder, a roofer before anything else.
05
Fix what the site is quietly doing wrongIn a market as fought as Aldridge this is usually the difference between fourth and first, because everyone above you has already dealt with theirs. Pages that take four seconds to load, headings that describe nothing, three URLs serving the same content: invisible to you and perfectly visible to Google.
06
Earn links from places that are actually localThere are only so many of these in a place the size of Aldridge, 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 Aldridge 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 roofing search here costs an advertiser under a pound. A building search costs over five 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 Rushall and Shelfield at under three kilometres, Streetly at under four kilometres, Pelsall at under five kilometres. Each is its own search: being found in Aldridge does not put you in front of anybody there, which is why they have their own pages rather than a line on this one.

Walsall sits under five kilometres away and is a much bigger market. That is the direction to grow into, but Aldridge 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 Aldridge 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. Aldridge is contested enough that this is the part that matters most, because it is where we work out whether the businesses above you can be passed at all. You keep it, and if the answer is that they cannot, you get told that in plain terms.

You pay us nothing until the work has covered its own cost, which in a market this contested is the only honest way to sell it. One business per trade in Aldridge, so once we have signed you the next business in your trade gets told the slot has gone. Rolling, cancel whenever.
