What actually works in Stoke-on-Trent

The structural fact that matters most here: Stoke is six towns that federated into one city and never quite became one place. Hanley, Burslem, Tunstall, Longton, Fenton and Stoke are distinct to the people who live in them, and service-plus-town searches across the six are collectively worth more than the city term. A page for each place you genuinely serve is the structure the geography asks for.

The economy is ceramics and everything that grew out of it — advanced materials, industrial ceramics, the surviving pottery brands — plus distribution on the M6 and A500, a large public sector and university, and the retail and trades across the six towns. The nearest comparable work is Roch Sweets, a family retailer where standard e-commerce could not model how the product was actually bought, so the buying journey was written rather than configured.

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.
