Cheshire-based agency working with Bolton SMEs across manufacturing, engineering, trades and retail. Under an hour up the M61. Properly built sites, SEO that works, 30 days notice.
A few of the many businesses we've worked with, big and small
Bolton’s a proud manufacturing and engineering town with a deep trades base and a busy retail centre. The businesses that grow here tend to be the ones that get found locally and look credible online. We work with Bolton clients across B2B, manufacturing and trades, and we’re under an hour away in Northwich.
Bolton built its name on making things, and that hasn’t really changed – engineering, manufacturing, distribution and a strong trades economy still run through it, alongside a retail core and growing professional services. It’s a market where a fast, credible website and solid local search do a lot of heavy lifting.
We’re a small team that does the technical work properly. Properly built sites that load fast and rank. Local SEO that gets your Google Business Profile into the map pack. Ad campaigns built around real enquiries. No account managers in the way – your senior contact stays with you throughout.
Bolton is a manufacturing and engineering town with a deep trades base, a busy market and a large local population that shops close to home.
Firms here sell on capability to buyers who research online first. Technical SEO for what you actually make beats generic brand content.
Joiners, electricians, fabricators. For them the map pack and a steady flow of genuine reviews bring in more work than anything else.
Bolton customers back local businesses, but only ones they can find. A neglected Google listing costs you the enquiry before you know it existed.

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.

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!
