What we do for businesses in Liverpool

Most of our clients are in the city centre, Baltic Triangle or the regen districts around Anfield, with a fair number out toward Wirral and Sefton. Our founder is based an hour up the road in Cheshire, was born in Fazakerley and grew up next door to Croxteth Park, so it’s fair to say we really know the city. We don’t carry the same high price tags as agencies based in the centre, but we still connect with your audience, understand your challenges, and know exactly which marketing techniques work and which don’t.

Liverpool’s a different market to Manchester. More creative, more independent-minded, less corporate. Agencies that work here long-term, like us, tend to be the ones that get the city’s character rather than treating it as Manchester’s smaller cousin.

We’re a boutique agency that won’t pass you around or mess you about. Your main point of contact is a senior team member who stays with you through the project, working directly on it. We build properly rather than use page builders, take Core Web Vitals seriously, and would rather tell you the campaign isn’t working than pretend it is. Mostly we’d rather get on with the work than talk about how we work.

Marketing for businesses in Liverpool

What Liverpool businesses are working with

Liverpool trades on culture, hospitality and a huge visitor economy, alongside universities, the port and a growing creative and digital sector.

Visitors and hospitality

The waterfront, the music heritage and a packed events calendar keep the city busy. For hospitality that means reviews and search visibility decide who fills tables.

A young, digital audience

Two big universities and a large student population. That audience is reached on mobile and social, and a slow site or dull socials loses them immediately.

Creative and digital competition

There are plenty of businesses here. Standing out locally means more than just getting marketing content out there - it has to be innovative, creative and memorable.

Why marketing matters for Liverpool businesses

The city’s got a strong sense of identity, and customers respond to brands that feel local and authentic rather than templated or bland. Generic stock-photo websites and copy-paste AI social posts don’t cut through here. The people want personality.

What works: a properly built website that loads fast and looks the part, real local SEO with a Google Business Profile that’s actually maintained, ads built around what converts rather than what looks good in a deck, content that sounds like a person wrote it, and campaigns that cut through the noise.

Liverpool’s a fiercely proud, independent-minded city, and its customers respond to brands that feel real, inspire emotional connection and don’t blend in. Get the website, the local SEO and the content all sounding like you, and you cut through in a way generic marketing never will.

Frequently asked questions

Are you actually based in Liverpool?

No, but we do visit a lot. Our founder grew up in Liverpool, but now lives in Northwich, Cheshire – about an hour from the city centre. We work with Liverpool businesses regularly and visit when it helps. Most clients prefer our lower overheads to an office with a slide on Bold Street.

Why hire a Cheshire agency over a Liverpool one?

It’s simple – we have lower overheads, but offer the same great standard of work. There are some good Liverpool agencies out there, but you should pick the right team for you rather than the one with the right postcode. We offer a boutique in-house team focused on bringing creative, innovative marketing to life. We don’t outsource as some agencies do; we don’t have agency churn (every client we work with usually stays with us long-term), and we don’t work with every company we speak to. Being a boutique agency means we can and will turn away businesses that don’t fit our ethos, or that we don’t believe we are the right fit for. We only want to work with clients who want us to bring our creative ideas and out-of-the-box thinking – if you want someone to action your tight, already defined brief and that’s it, we probably aren’t for you.

Do you understand the Liverpool market?

Yes. We work with multiple Liverpool clients across hospitality, ecommerce, B2B, services, legal, beauty and trades. The market dynamics, the local competition, the audience expectations – it’s familiar territory. Plus, we are always in the city!

How often will we speak? I've been burnt by other agencies.

Unfortunately, we hear this a lot. Marketing agencies aren’t all the same, and many of our clients have had negative experiences with other agencies. It’s part of the reason we only have a 30-day notice period – to reassure those who’ve been let down before. Communication is a big deal for us, and we can talk as often as you need. Some clients have a monthly reporting call as standard, plus whatever else crops up in between, while others have WhatsApp groups where they can catch up and share pictures with the team in real-time. We also have a client portal and a social media portal where you can easily speak directly with your main contacts. For us, it’s all about being easy to reach and there when you need us. Need a quick chat? We can simply send over a Zoom, and nobody loses a morning to travel.

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.

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 57 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!
