## About Kirkby Stephen

Kirkby Stephen is a market town in the upper Eden valley, on the Settle to Carlisle railway and the Coast to Coast walk, with the Nine Standards cairns on the fell above. Farming is the backbone of the area, and walkers add seasonal trade for pubs, cafés and bed and breakfasts. Distances between jobs are long and many houses are old stone. Trades should say how far they travel and name Brough, Ravenstonedale and Nateby.

## Nearby

The nearest towns in the same council area are Appleby-in-Westmorland (9 miles), Sedbergh (13 miles), Kendal (19 miles) and Penrith (21 miles). A longer drive takes in Barnard Castle (18 miles) and Stanhope (23 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 Kirkby Stephen 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.
