Serving Cheshire

Cheshire marketing agency, run by people who actually live here

Northwich-based, working with SMEs across the county since 2016. Web design, SEO, ads, social, email and content - all in-house, all properly built, all bespoke.

What we do for businesses in Cheshire

We’ve been a Cheshire-based marketing agency since our launch in 2016. We have clients sitting all around the county – Northwich, Chester, Warrington, Crewe, Macclesfield, Knutsford, Nantwich, Sandbach. The point is we know the local market because we live in it. That’s not the same as a London agency claiming Cheshire coverage.

If you’re a Cheshire business that’s tired of marketing agencies who don’t pick up the phone, treat your account like a number, or charge premium rates for templated work, we’re worth a chat.

A boutique agency with a tight-knit team. Same person from pitch to delivery. We build websites properly instead of using page builders, take SEO seriously enough to chase Core Web Vitals improvements down to the millisecond, obsess over social media trends, and would rather tell you the email campaign isn’t working than dress it up in a slide deck.

Marketing for businesses in Cheshire

Why marketing matters for Cheshire businesses

Local SEO isn’t optional for service businesses in Cheshire. When someone searches “plumber Northwich” or “wedding photographer Chester”, the local pack – those three Google Maps results above the regular listings – takes the lion’s share of the clicks. Miss it, and you’re out of the running.

Getting noticed means doing several things consistently. A properly maintained Google Business Profile. Active social media accounts sharing value-led content. Accurate citations across the local directories that actually matter. Location-specific landing pages that don’t just swap the town name. Interesting content that people actually want to read. A steady drip of fresh five-star reviews. None of it is glamorous, all of it compounds.

Get all of it right and you turn up exactly when a Cheshire customer is searching with their wallet out. Across a county this spread out – market towns, commuter belt, rural trade – showing up locally is the whole game.

Why Cheshire businesses choose us

Properly local

Northwich-based since 2016. A senior contact on every call, not a rotating account manager.

Five-star rated

We pride ourselves on our incredible feedback and strong client relationships. 100% positive. Read our reviews - they're real.

No long tie-ins

Rolling monthly retainers. If we're not delivering, you can leave. We retain by doing the work properly.

Weirdly into the technical bits

We build properly, refuse to use page builders on principle, and chase 0.2-second LCP improvements. The boring nerdy work pays off.

Frequently asked questions

Where exactly are you based?

Northwich, Cheshire. Most meetings happen on Zoom because clients prefer the time saved, and you’ll have the same senior contact on every one of them. We are always open to grabbing a coffee if you prefer things face-to-face.

Do you only work with Cheshire businesses?

No. We work with clients across the UK and Europe. But we have a particular soft spot for Cheshire businesses because we live here, and we know the local market in a way an out-of-town agency simply can’t.

Do you work with local trades?

Yes, lots. Plumbers, electricians, builders, landscapers, joiners. Local SEO, social media, PPC and Google Business Profile work tends to be the highest-impact thing for trades – that’s where the leads actually come from.

What's the smallest budget you'll work with?

Web design starts in the low hundreds when paid in a single payment, but we also offer pay-monthly website options. Our ongoing retainer packages, such as social media support or SEO, typically start at a few hundred a month, but we can customise a package to fit your budget. You tell us your budget, and we can craft something that will fit perfectly.

Will we have one main point of contact?

Yes. Your main point of contact stays with you from kick-off onwards. They’re a senior team member, directly involved in the work, not an account manager relaying messages.

Who you'll actually be working with

We founded Cheshire Cat Marketing in 2016 after watching too many small businesses burn through agency budgets and end up with a slow site and a stack of invoices.

We work with businesses across the UK and into Finland and Sweden, and every bit of it is done in-house. Whoever you speak to first is the person doing the work, and they stay with you. Nobody is passing your messages to a separate team.

  • Five-star rated, every review 54 reviews across Google and Facebook. Not one of them below five stars.
  • Award-winning Shortlisted more times than we can neatly list, and we've taken a good few home.
  • Everything done in-house No freelancers, no white-label, nobody you've never met touching your account.
  • Outspoken, honest support We'll tell you when something won't work, even when it'd be easier to take the money.

I just want to say, the guys over at Cheshire Cat Marketing are amazing! I couldn’t have asked for a better bunch of people to constantly be in contact with. Whether it was checking up on me and my business or being open to listening to my ever changing ideas! Everything in between too! I would recommend them to anyone wanting, social media or anything marketing wise for your business!

I’ve just phoned and spoken to Rhi, who has been absolutely incredible! I phoned to cheekily ask for some advice, as I am fundraising for a charity event. She was incredible, offering advice, guidance and ideas. The support was truly incredible and has allowed me now to hopefully generate more publicity and support for the event I am supporting.I am in awe of her friendly disposition and her generosity of her experience.Her entire demeanour was approachable and supportive and offered a true unique perspective, whilst being situational and economically aware.So pleased, and touched to have had such a wonderful and postive interaction and would encourage anyone to use their services again.

The Cheshire Cat team are fantastic. They really care about understanding your business and doing a great job. Each time they send me some posts to approve I'm always thrilled with the results - and with 20+ years marketing experience, I'm not an easy person to please! We've seen our followers steadily grow whilst we've been working with them - recommended!
