A few of the many businesses we've worked with, big and small
Lancaster is a historic city with a castle, a large and well-regarded university, a heritage tourism trade and Morecambe Bay on the doorstep. It’s a small city with an unusually broad economy for its size.
A historic city, a big university and a coast within reach, which is a lot of different customers for a city this size.
The castle, the old city and the coast bring visitors year-round, not just in summer. Hospitality and retail win on search visibility and reviews.
Lancaster University brings a substantial student and staff population, plus international arrivals. That audience is reached on mobile, and English-language clarity matters.
The bay and the coastal trade widen the catchment. Businesses that market to both the city and the coast reach a much bigger audience.
For Lancaster businesses, two audiences barely overlap: the students and staff attached to the university, and the visitors drawn by the history and the coast. Most local marketing tries to speak to both at once and lands with neither.
Local search rewards specificity. Someone searching for a restaurant before a castle visit wants different things from a student looking for a letting agent.
The basics still decide it: a complete Google Business Profile, accurate citations, fast mobile pages and genuine reviews coming in regularly.
Your main point of contact stays with you throughout - a senior team member who works directly on your project.
39 Google reviews. 15 Facebook recommendations. 100% positive. Read them - they're real.
Rolling monthly retainers. If we're not delivering, you can leave. We retain clients by doing the work properly.
We build properly, refuse to use page builders on principle, and chase 0.2-second LCP improvements. The boring nerdy work pays off.
Same process for every project. Boring, predictable, no surprises.
Tell us what you're trying to do. We'll tell you straight whether we can help.
Honest scope. Clear pricing. No fluff.
We do the work. You see progress weekly.
Go live, then keep improving. Regular reporting with actual numbers.
A snapshot of the kinds of Lancaster businesses we've helped grow online.
Pick what you need or hand the whole thing over. Most local businesses we work with use two or three services together.
Properly built WordPress, WooCommerce, Shopify and Magento. No page builders. Properly fast. The kind of site Core Web Vitals actually likes.
Technical SEO, content, local search, link building. The slow honest kind that compounds over years.
Campaigns built around what actually converts. Daily monitoring, monthly reports, no vanity metrics.
Posting, replying, knowing when your audience is online. Real engagement, not bots and stock posts.
Newsletters, welcome flows, abandoned cart sequences. The highest-ROI channel of the lot when it's done right.
Blog posts and landing pages written by UK-based writers who get your business.
Logos and brand systems that hold up everywhere they need to. Built once and built properly.
Turn up in the map pack when someone nearby searches. Profile, citations, reviews, local pages.
The whole lot for a smaller business: no long contracts, no jargon, and the work done properly.
Same prices wherever you are. We don't charge more because of your postcode.
Priced per account, because ad budgets differ too much for a menu: Google Ads , Social media , Email
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.
No. We’re in Northwich, Cheshire, about 90 minutes away. Most of the work is remote anyway, and our overheads stay lower than a firm with a Lancaster office. Clients tend to prefer that.
Yes. We know the local competition, the search patterns and what actually brings enquiries in Lancaster rather than what looks good in a pitch deck.
Yes. For hospitality and visitor attractions it’s usually a fast site that converts browsers into bookings, local SEO, review generation and content that gets you found while people are still planning.
No, and most clients prefer it that way. Everything runs over video, so a quick question doesn't sit in a queue waiting for someone to be in the same room as you. We're Northwich-based and we know the Lancaster market, which matters far more to the work than where the meeting happens.
Web design starts in the low thousands. Ongoing retainers start at a few hundred a month. We’ll be straight on the first call about whether it fits.
Five-star rated on Google and Facebook. No filtering, no pay-to-play, just honest reviews from real clients.
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!
