Based in Moulton, just south of Northwich town centre. Working with SMEs across the CW catchment since 2016. Web design, SEO, ads, social, email, content - all in-house.
A few of the many businesses we've worked with, big and small
We’re genuinely local to Northwich, not covering it from an hour away. Our founder is in Moulton, ten minutes from the town centre, and our staff work remotely across the UK, mainly in Cheshire. So when you brief us, you’re talking to someone who knows where Barons Quay is, has eaten at the Salt Barge, has drunk too many Pina Colados at the festival, and knows the local business scene inside out.
Northwich has a busy little business scene. The Barons Quay regeneration, a solid base of trades and independents, salt-town history turned into a proper town-centre revival, and the professional services that keep it all ticking. We know it because we’re part of it.
We build websites properly instead of using page builders, which means our sites load faster, rank better, and don’t break when WordPress updates. When we are supporting a business, it’s not just what’s in their package that we focus on – we look into the bigger picture to uncover opportunities and areas they could branch into to get better results. We have a tight-knit team of in-house experts, and your senior contact stays with you across the work. Fewer handovers, fewer mistakes, faster turnaround.
Northwich is a Cheshire market town with salt in its history, a regenerated centre and a lot of small businesses that sell to the whole county.
Barons Quay and the regeneration shifted where people shop and eat. If your Google listing still reflects the old town, you're losing walk-ins to businesses that updated theirs.
Most Northwich businesses serve a radius, not a postcode. Their marketing should target the surrounding villages and towns too, not just the CW8 and CW9 searches.
Kickoffs, reviews and the awkward conversations happen properly, on Zoom or over coffee where you can see who you are talking to. That's the bit an agency two hours away can't do.
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.

Find out more →Local SEO matters more in Northwich than most businesses realise. The town has roughly 21,000 households and a daytime population that swells with workers, retail, and the local NHS sites. People search “plumber Northwich”, “accountant Northwich”, “hairdresser Northwich” thousands of times a month. The local pack – those three Google Maps results above the regular listings – takes the bulk of the clicks. Most Northwich businesses aren’t competing for those positions properly. Their Google Business Profile is half-filled. Their website mentions Northwich once in the footer. They’ve got three reviews from 2019. The opportunity is real if someone does the work.
The same applies to Hartford, Davenham, Barnton, Rudheath, Lostock and the surrounding villages. Those postcode districts matter. Most search behaviour clusters around the town centre, but the surrounding villages have their own micro-searches worth chasing.
Social media can also play a key role in local awareness. With a strong community spirit, residents are often searching social media for places to go or businesses to use, but without consistent, innovative activity, they can be hard to find.
Moulton, CW9. Ten minutes from the town centre. Not 'covering Northwich from Manchester'.

Yes. Our base is in Moulton, a village just off the town centre. We’re properly local – not an agency claiming Northwich coverage from somewhere else. Our team work remotely from across the UK, mainly Cheshire, so we are spread out, but the registered office, physical base and our founder live next door.
We don’t have a high-street shopfront – the team is mostly remote, and we keep overheads low so client work costs less. But we can meet you in Northwich for project kickoffs, quarterly reviews, or just a coffee at one of the town centre spots. Most day-to-day work happens on Zoom because it’s faster, but in-person is always an option.
We offer a boutique in-house team focused on bringing creative, innovative marketing to life. We pride ourselves on being more than a marketing agency – we are a growth agency and look outside the box for ways to help businesses reach the next level.
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.
We’re small and technical. We build websites properly, refuse page builders, take Core Web Vitals personally, and there are no account managers sitting between you and the people doing the work. Same senior contact from the first call through to delivery. That suits businesses who want the work done properly by people who actually care about it, rather than passed down a chain.
Yes – that’s a lot of what we do for local clients. The local pack (Google Maps results) and the organic listings underneath both matter. Getting into them properly means a working Google Business Profile, location-relevant content on your website, citations across the local directories, fresh reviews coming in regularly, and a fast site that Google trusts. None of it is glamorous. All of it compounds.
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. No long tie-ins, no setup fees, no charging for proposals.
Our clients are split across the globe – from Cheshire, Manchester, and Liverpool to Finland, Sweden, and Spain. But Northwich and the CW postcodes are home, and we know and love the local area better than anywhere else.
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 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!
