What actually works in Plymouth

The practical split is the same one most mixed economies need. Defence and marine work is won on specificity — processes, accreditations, security clearances, named contacts. The Barbican and the Hoe are won in the map pack, on photographs and reviews, usually before anyone reaches a website at all.

Plymouth’s demand comes from naval and defence work at Devonport, marine engineering and the marine-science cluster, a large university, healthcare, and the tourism and hospitality around the Hoe and the Barbican. The defence and marine supply chain is read by procurement rather than by consumers, so specificity and accreditation do more than design. The nearest comparable work is Pro Pave, a paving company rebuilt as 27 pages so each service and area had its own place to rank.

What you get, and what it costs

Growth blocks from £250 a month, spent on whatever moves the needle rather than a fixed checklist. No percentage of ad spend, no management fee and no minimum term — if it stops being worth it, you stop.

• The Google Business Profile done properly first, because for most local searches the map sits above everything a website can win.
• A page for each service you genuinely offer, so every search has somewhere of its own to land instead of competing with the homepage.
• The technical work that decides whether Google can read the site at all — speed, structure, internal links, and the markup that puts you in the right results.
• Content written around the questions your customers actually ask, not a keyword list.
• Monthly reporting of what changed and what it earned, including the phone calls, which is where most local enquiries arrive and almost nobody counts them.
