## About Bathgate

Bathgate was once known for its truck and tractor plant, and today it is a commuter town on the rail line between Glasgow and Edinburgh with a lot of new housing on its fringes. The old centre and Victorian streets sit alongside estates such as Wester Inch built on former industrial land. Families moving in from elsewhere search online for everything, so a Bathgate business should make sure it appears for nearby Armadale, Whitburn and Blackburn too, since locals treat them as part of the same patch.

## Nearby

Inside West Lothian, the closest places are Livingston (5 miles), Linlithgow (5 miles) and Broxburn (7 miles). Just over the council boundary, Grangemouth (9 miles) and Falkirk (9 miles) are close by. Further out, Airdrie (13 miles), Dunfermline (14 miles) and Cumbernauld (14 miles) are within commuting distance. A list of the places you really serve is more useful to a customer than “and surrounding areas”.

We are based in Exeter and work with Bathgate businesses remotely.

## Questions

### Do you actually work with businesses in this area?

Yes. We are based in Exeter and build websites for businesses right across the UK. The work is done remotely, by phone, WhatsApp and video call, and we will not pretend to have an office down the road from you.

### Does it matter that you are not local to me?

For building and looking after a website, no. Everything is done by phone, WhatsApp and video call, and you approve the design on your own phone before anything goes live. What does matter is local search visibility, and that depends on the site and your Google Business Profile being set up for your area, not on where we sit.

### How do I compete with bigger businesses in my area locally?

By being specific. A large regional firm usually has one page that covers everywhere; you can have a page about what you do in your town, naming the areas you cover and the jobs you do. Add a fast site and a fully completed Google Business Profile, and you are giving local searchers a clearer answer than a page written for the whole region.
