## About Pontefract

Pontefract is known for liquorice, its castle ruins and its racecourse, a historic market town in the former Wakefield coalfield close to the junction of the M62 and A1. That road access has brought warehousing and commuters, and the housing mixes old terraces with newer estates. Customers are practical and price-aware. A website that names Carleton, Knottingley and the nearby villages, and gives clear contact details, will serve this area far better than a pitch aimed at all of West Yorkshire.

## Nearby

Featherstone (2 miles), Castleford (3 miles), Normanton (4 miles) and Hemsworth (6 miles) are the nearest in the same council area. Across the boundary into the next council area, Rothwell (8 miles) is also close. Naming the towns you actually cover tells people straight away whether you will come to them.

We are based in Exeter and work with Pontefract 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.
