Web Design & Digital Marketing in Leicestershire
Leicestershire starts about ten miles from our door. Melton Mowbray is the first town you reach, and from there the county runs west through Loughborough, Coalville and Hinckley and south to Market Harborough, with Leicester in the middle. It's 1.1 million people, the M1 down the spine and East Midlands Airport, the second-biggest freight airport in the country, in the north-west corner.
No hard sell.

Engineering, food and the knowledge parks
The county's traditional strengths are engineering, manufacturing, food processing and hosiery. Walkers crisps, Pukka Pies and Everards brewery are all here, along with the Stilton, Red Leicester and Melton pork pies the county is known for. The newer economy is on the enterprise zones: MIRA Technology Park near Hinckley for automotive and mobility, and the science and innovation parks around Loughborough University and Leicester Waterside. The NHS trusts in Leicester employ over 16,000 between them.
The businesses we work with are the ones around all that: the trades, the independents in the market towns, the B2B firms supplying the big employers, and the professional services firms in every town centre.
Local SEO across the county
Leicestershire's towns are far enough apart to behave as separate markets. A business in Market Harborough is competing with Northamptonshire as much as with Leicester. One in Loughborough is in a university town with its own rhythm. We set up your local SEO around the towns you actually serve, not the county name.
Towns we cover
Melton Mowbray, Loughborough, Coalville, Hinckley, Market Harborough, Oadby, Wigston, Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Leicester itself. If you're in Leicestershire, we're closer than you'd think.
Web design and marketing across Leicestershire: your questions
Which parts of Leicestershire do you cover?
The whole county, including Melton Mowbray, Loughborough, Coalville, Hinckley, Market Harborough, Oadby, Wigston, Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Leicester. Melton is the nearest, just over the Vale of Belvoir from our office.
We're a food producer. Can you help us sell online?
Yes. Leicestershire is known for Melton Mowbray pork pies and Stilton, and smaller producers often sell direct online as well as to shops and delis. We build online shops that handle delivery zones, chilled shipping options and gift orders, and set up Google Shopping so your products show up when people search.
We're in Market Harborough. Who are we really competing with?
Often Northamptonshire businesses as much as Leicester ones, because Market Harborough sits right on the border. We look at who's actually ranking for your searches and build your local SEO around the towns your customers come from, not the county name.
Do you work with businesses in Loughborough?
Yes. Loughborough is a university town with its own rhythm, with a big student population and a technology and engineering community around the university's science park. Businesses there need sites that work as well for a student on a phone as for a buyer at a desk.
We supply firms at MIRA Technology Park or other enterprise zones. Is SEO worth it for us?
Yes, aimed at the right searches. Engineering and automotive buyers search for very specific capabilities, so a page for each service you offer, with proof, will usually beat a general brochure site.
Do you work for competing businesses in Leicestershire?
No. One business per trade per area.
