## About Newtownards

Scrabo Tower on its hill marks Newtownards from miles around, at the head of Strangford Lough where the Ards peninsula begins. The town works as the shopping and service centre for the peninsula villages, and it has grown with commuters to Belfast along the dual carriageway. Housing spans old terraces off the square, post-war estates and new developments on the edges. A trade here should list the peninsula villages it reaches, because customers in Greyabbey or Kircubbin want to know someone will make the trip.

## Nearby

Bangor, County Down (5 miles) and Holywood (6 miles) are the nearest in the same council area. Elsewhere in County Down, Downpatrick (18 miles) is within reach. Across the boundary into the next council area, Belfast (9 miles) and Carrickfergus (9 miles) are also close. A longer drive takes in Newtownabbey (11 miles), Lisburn (15 miles) and Larne (18 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 Newtownards 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.
