No published price; it depends on your market. What moves it in Woodley: 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.

The plan

What we would do in Woodley

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

Cover the few trades that carry this marketA handful of trades carry most of what gets searched in Woodley, with locksmith 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.

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.

Set your service area to the ground you actually coverWoodley is its own town rather than a suburb, and that works in your favour. Winnersh is under three kilometres away. Twyford is under five kilometres away. Reading 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.

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 Woodley that means a locksmith, a plumber, a builder before anything else.

Fix what the site is quietly doing wrongMost sites around Woodley 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.

Earn links from places that are actually localThere are only so many of these in a place the size of Woodley, 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 Woodley 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 two pounds. A locksmith search costs around £34. 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 Winnersh at under three kilometres, Twyford at under five kilometres, Reading at under five kilometres. Each is its own search: being found in Woodley does not put you in front of anybody there, which is why they have their own pages rather than a line on this one.

Reading sits under five kilometres away and is a much bigger market. That is the direction to grow into, but Woodley 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 Woodley

Plumbing is the most seasonal work we can measure in Woodley: busiest in September, slowest in December, four times as many searches at the peak. Where the totals are modest to begin with, being visible in the right month does more than anything else.

So the quiet months are the cheap ones to win. Fewer businesses compete for plumbing searches out of season, and ground taken then is still yours when September arrives.

The arrangement

How it works

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