## About Hemel Hempstead

Hemel Hempstead is a post-war new town built as a series of neighbourhoods around the old town, with the Maylands business area and quick access to the London motorway network making it a significant distribution and commercial location. Each neighbourhood has its own local centre and identity, and residents often search by neighbourhood rather than by town. A Hemel website that names the areas it actually covers, from Boxmoor to Leverstock Green, lines up much better with how local customers look for help.

## 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.
