## About Elgin

Elgin is the cathedral city of Moray and the shopping and services centre for a wide area of whisky distilleries, farms and coastal villages. RAF Lossiemouth nearby brings service families who move in regularly without any local contacts, and the cashmere mill and distillery trade add visitors. That turnover of newcomers makes being findable on Google especially valuable, and a site that names Lossiemouth, Lhanbryde and Fochabers as well as Elgin reaches the whole catchment.

## Nearby

Buckie (13 miles) and Keith (15 miles) are the nearest in the same council area. A longer drive takes in Huntly (24 miles). Naming the towns you actually cover tells people straight away whether you will come to them.

We are based in Exeter and work with Elgin 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.
