## About Galashiels

Galashiels grew on woollen mills along the Gala Water and is now the main shopping centre of the central Borders, with the Borders Railway ending just beyond it at Tweedbank. The railway has made commuting to Edinburgh realistic and brought new housing to the area. Customers range from long-standing Borders families to newcomers without local contacts, so a site that names Tweedbank, Melrose and the surrounding villages, and shows real local work, suits both.

## Nearby

A longer drive takes in Bonnyrigg (21 miles), Dalkeith (22 miles), Penicuik (22 miles) and Haddington (24 miles). If you cover some of these and not others, the site should name the ones you do.

We are based in Exeter and work with Galashiels 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.
