## About Retford

Retford is a Nottinghamshire market town on the River Idle and the Chesterfield Canal, with a big market square and a stop on the East Coast Main Line that brings commuters. It is split historically into East and West Retford, and serves a wide area of north Nottinghamshire villages. The housing mixes Georgian and Victorian property near the centre with newer estates. Village customers expect a firm to come out to them, so a website that states its coverage clearly catches that work.

## 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.
