No published price; it depends on your market. What moves it in Northampton: how many businesses compete for what you do, how much has to be built or fixed on the site, and how far off page one you start. The spread between what a click is worth in different trades here is the clearest signal of which of those matters most for you. You pay nothing until it has paid for itself.

When somebody in Northampton needs what you sell, they search, look at the first few results, and ring one. In a market this size that shortlist is the whole competition, and it is three names long.

If you are not in those few you never find out it happened. You cannot see the customers you did not get.

We get you found in search results: your Google Business Profile, your reviews, your pages and your listings, all pointing the same way. Where a town searches for as many different jobs as this one does, that consistency is what stops you ranking for none of them.

The plan

What we would do in Northampton

At this level of demand there is rarely a single culprit. There are several small ones, and each of them is costing you enquiries every week.

Decide the order you build pages inDemand in Northampton is spread across a lot of trades rather than concentrated in one. That makes the order you build in matter more than usual: a page each for the two or three you actually want the work from, before anything else, rather than one page that gestures at all of them.

Either route works, so pick on urgencyAds and the slower work are both reasonable starting points in Northampton, which is not true everywhere. Which one we pick comes down to how quickly you need the phone to ring against how long you can wait for something that keeps working after you stop paying.

Set your area across the boundary, not up to itNorthampton sits where more than one council meets. Earls Barton, under eleven kilometres away, is North Northamptonshire, and Olney, about 16 kilometres away, is Milton Keynes. Very little else nearby puts that many authorities within reach of one business, which means the area you can realistically serve is wider than your postcode suggests. We set your service area to match where you actually go, not where the boundary happens to fall.

Give every service its own pageNobody searches for "our services", and with this many trades searched separately here, a combined page loses every one of them. One page per thing you sell, each written as though it were the only thing you did. In Northampton that means a roofer, an electrician, a locksmith before anything else.

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.

Earn links from places that are actually localIn a market the size of Northampton this is the part competitors find hardest to copy, and the part that still separates the top three once everyone has fixed the obvious things. A supplier, a trade body, the local paper, the club you sponsor.

The market

What Northampton is worth

The searches here are real and there are a lot of them, and every one is being picked up by somebody today. That volume is what you are competing for.

Value and volume are not the same thing. An advertiser here pays over two pounds for a building search and around £28 for a locksmith one, and across as many trades as this town searches for that spread is the map of where the money actually is. Nobody pays several times more for a visitor unless the job at the end is worth several times more.

Something else shows up in the numbers. Roughly 700 searches a month here are businesses hunting for someone to do this work for them, and in a market this big that is a crowd of owners who have already decided being found is worth paying for.

If you travel, the nearest markets are Moulton at under seven kilometres, Earls Barton at under eleven kilometres, Towcester at about 14 kilometres. Each is its own search: being found in Northampton 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. Across this many separate trades being searched by name, the habit here is clearly local rather than people defaulting to the nearest big town.

Timing

When the work comes in around Northampton

Roofing work in Northampton runs hardest in September and quietest in May, and the busy month carries three times as many searches as the quiet one. In a market this size that swing is a lot of enquiries to be absent for.

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.

The arrangement

How it works

First, a free analysis of the Northampton 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 Northampton, and that covers both sides of the boundary from here, because it is one market to you even though it is two councils. Rolling, and you stop whenever you like.
