A few of the many businesses we've worked with, big and small
What we do for businesses in Leeds
Leeds is the biggest financial and legal centre outside London, with two large universities, a serious retail core and a fast-growing digital sector. It’s a competitive market, and the businesses that win online are usually the ones doing the fundamentals properly.
What Leeds businesses are working with
Finance, law and professional services at scale, plus universities, retail and a digital sector that keeps growing.
Finance and legal at scale
Leeds has serious professional-services depth. For firms competing there, credibility and content that demonstrates expertise beat advertising spend.
Heavy search competition
More competitors bidding on the same terms means paid gets expensive fast. Organic visibility and technical SEO usually give better returns.
Students and city-centre trade
Two big universities and a busy retail core create a large young audience. That trade is won on mobile speed and reviews.
Marketing services across Leeds
Pick what you need or hand the whole thing over. Most local businesses we work with use two or three services together.

Find out more →Why marketing matters for Leeds businesses
For Leeds businesses, the search competition is genuine. Professional services in particular face dozens of well-funded competitors bidding on the same terms, which makes organic visibility more valuable, not less.
Local search matters even in a big city. “Solicitor Leeds” or “accountant Headingley” still lean heavily on the map pack, and a neglected Google profile hands those enquiries elsewhere.
Technical fundamentals decide a lot here: site speed, proper structure, genuine content and a steady flow of real reviews.

Frequently asked questions
Are you actually based in Leeds?
No. We’re in Northwich, Cheshire, about two hours away. Most of the work is remote anyway, and our overheads stay lower than a firm with a Leeds office. Clients tend to prefer that.
Do you understand the Leeds market?
Yes. We know the local competition, the search patterns and what actually brings enquiries in Leeds rather than what looks good in a pitch deck.
Do you work with professional-services firms?
Yes, it’s one of our strongest areas. Accountants, solicitors and consultants usually need SEO, a fast credible website and content that builds trust before anyone picks up the phone.
How does the day-to-day work?
Zoom or Teams for anything that needs talking through, email for anything that doesn't. It keeps the hours you're paying for on the actual work. And you'll know exactly who your contact is, because it'll be the same person next month and the month after.
What's the smallest budget you'll work with?
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.

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.
What our clients say about us
Five-star rated on Google and Facebook. No filtering, no pay-to-play, just honest reviews from real clients.
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!
