## About Cardiff

Cardiff is the capital of Wales, with government, media, a large university population and a stadium that fills the city centre on big event days. The regenerated Bay and the older terraced districts are very different markets. Hospitality and personal services feel the event calendar sharply, so current opening details matter. For trades, naming the districts you work in beats a vague "Cardiff and surrounding areas", and a bilingual touch is noticed by customers who care about it.

## Nearby

Just over the council boundary, Penarth (3 miles), Barry (7 miles), Caerphilly (7 miles) and Risca (10 miles) are close by. Further out, Newport (11 miles), Ystrad Mynach (11 miles), Abercarn (12 miles) and Cowbridge (12 miles) are within commuting distance. It is worth saying plainly which of these you travel to, so people further out know whether to call.

We are based in Exeter and work with Cardiff 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.
