Working with Crewe SMEs across rail, manufacturing, trades and retail. Properly built websites, SEO that works, 30 days notice. Run from Northwich, half an hour up the road.
A few of the many businesses we've worked with, big and small
Crewe punches above its weight as a business hub – Bentley, the rail industry, a strong manufacturing base, and a growing cluster of B2B service firms around the town. We’ve been working with Crewe businesses for years, mostly in trades, manufacturing and ecommerce. Half an hour from Northwich, and we know the local market properly.
Crewe businesses tend to fall into two camps. The big employers – Bentley, the rail industry, the engineering firms – have their own marketing or work with London agencies. Then there’s everyone else: the SMEs, the trades, the local retail and hospitality, the B2B service firms supplying the bigger names. That’s where we work best.
We’re a small team that does the work properly. Properly built websites that actually load fast on the train into Manchester. Proper SEO that matters when someone searches “electrician Crewe” at 9pm on a Sunday. Real engagement on social rather than scheduled stock posts.
Crewe was built by the railway and still runs on engineering and manufacturing, with Bentley on the doorstep and a supply chain around it.
Manufacturers and suppliers here sell B2B on capability and credibility. A site that looks the part and ranks for what you actually make does the heavy lifting.
Crewe's connectivity means firms here sell well beyond Cheshire. Your SEO should target the markets you serve, not only the town you're in.
Alongside industry there's a large domestic trades base. For them the Google Business Profile and the map pack are the whole game.

Find out more →Crewe’s not Manchester or London. The competition’s different – fewer SMEs fighting over local SEO, less crowded ad auctions, and a customer base that’s still receptive to a well-run local Google Business Profile. Which means smaller budgets can go further if they’re spent properly.
The fundamentals matter even more here. A fast, accessible website. A Google Business Profile with current photos, regular posts and a steady flow of fresh reviews. Local citations that are actually accurate. Ad campaigns built around what brings real enquiries, not vanity clicks.
Crewe’s a smaller, less crowded market than the big cities, so a budget spent properly on the fundamentals goes a long way and shows up fast in the local results.

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!
