## About Wixams

Wixams is a new town being built south of Bedford on the site of the former Elstow ordnance depot, laid out as a series of villages with a planned railway station. Almost everyone here has moved in recently, so few have local contacts, and many commute to Bedford, Milton Keynes or London. That makes online visibility essential for trades and services, and a site naming Wixams alongside Wilstead and Elstow will reach a whole community still looking for its go-to businesses.

## 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.
