## About Watford

Watford sits just outside the M25 with quick links into Euston, so it works as both a commuter town and a sizeable employment and shopping centre in its own right, anchored by the Atria mall and the football club. Its streets are mostly Victorian and Edwardian terraces and interwar semis, many being extended or converted. Competition from firms across north-west London and Hertfordshire is stiff, so a Watford business does best by being specific about where it works and showing plenty of recent reviews.

## Nearby

Elsewhere in Hertfordshire, Bushey (1 mile), Chorleywood (5 miles), St Albans (7 miles) and Hemel Hempstead (8 miles) are within reach. Across the boundary into the next council area, Edgware (6 miles), Harrow (6 miles), Chipping Barnet (8 miles) and Gerrards Cross (8 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 Watford 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.
