## About Sandy

Sandy is a small town on the Greensand Ridge in east Bedfordshire, home to the RSPB headquarters and surrounded by market gardens and heathland. It sits on the East Coast Main Line with quick trains to London, making it popular with commuters, and has grown with newer estates around the older town. Customers here often compare local firms with ones from Bedford or St Neots, so naming Sandy, Beeston and the nearby villages helps you appear first.

## Nearby

Biggleswade (3 miles), Potton (3 miles), Shefford (7 miles) and Stotfold (8 miles) are the nearest in the same council area. Across the boundary into the next council area, St Neots (7 miles), Bedford (8 miles), Wixams (8 miles) and Kempston (9 miles) are 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 Sandy 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.
