Cranleigh: the village searches nobody is competing for
Cranleigh serves a ring of villages where almost no business has a proper web page. For a Cranleigh trade or service, that is the easiest ranking available anywhere in Surrey.
Short answerCranleigh serves a ring of villages where almost no business has a proper web page. For a Cranleigh trade or service, that is the easiest ranking available anywhere in Surrey.
The catchment
Ewhurst, Shamley Green, Wonersh, Bramley, Alfold, Dunsfold, Rudgwick, Ellens Green. Each has a few hundred to a couple of thousand households, most with a garden, a roof and a boiler, and almost none of them has a local business with a page written about it.
What happens when you write one
A page about your work in Ewhurst, naming the village, the kind of jobs that come up there and how quickly you can be there, usually ranks on the first page within weeks. There is nobody to beat. Multiply that by eight villages and you have a steady flow of enquiries that cost you nothing per click.
Guildford in the background
Guildford is fifteen minutes away and competitive. You do not need to win Guildford. You need to own Cranleigh and its villages, and pick up the south side of Guildford, Shalford and Bramley, as a bonus.
What to do
Pages for Cranleigh and each village you cover. Google Business Profile service area set to match. Reviews that mention the villages. Photos of jobs in them. That is the whole plan, and it works.
Where to start
Our Cranleigh page shows what a proper town page looks like, and the Surrey page covers the wider area. If you would rather have it done for you, we build a free demo of your site first, using your real business, before you spend anything.
