Cheshire-based agency working with Rochdale SMEs across manufacturing, trades, retail and services. About an hour away. Properly built sites, SEO that works, 30 days notice.
A few of the many businesses we've worked with, big and small
Rochdale is where the co-operative movement started, and there’s still a strong independent streak in the local business base alongside manufacturing, trades and a regenerated town centre. We work with Rochdale clients across B2B and trades, and we’re around an hour away.
A town with a genuine independent tradition, a working manufacturing base and a town centre that's had serious investment.
Rochdale backs its own. Local businesses do well here, but only the ones people can actually find when they search.
There's a real industrial base behind the retail. B2B buyers shortlist online, so credibility and technical SEO decide who gets the call.
Investment shifted where people shop and eat. If your listing reflects the old town centre, you're losing footfall to businesses that updated theirs.
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 →For Rochdale businesses, being found locally is the highest-return thing you can do. “Plumber Rochdale” or “printers Heywood” put the Google map results front and centre, and that’s where the ready-to-buy enquiries come from.
Ranking there comes down to basics done well: a complete Google Business Profile, accurate citations, location pages that say something real, and genuine reviews coming in steadily.
With a solid manufacturing and trades base and a large local population, the local search intent is there. Most of it is winnable.
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.
A snapshot of the kinds of Rochdale businesses we've helped grow online.
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.

Go live, then keep improving. Regular reporting with actual numbers.
We work with SMEs across the UK. If your town's not listed, get in touch anyway.
No. We’re in Northwich, Cheshire, about an hour away. Close enough to know the patch, far enough that our overheads stay sensible. Most clients prefer that trade to paying for a local office.
Yes. We work across the North West and know the local competition, the search patterns and what actually brings enquiries in a place like Rochdale.
Yes. Independents are most of what we do. Usually it’s a proper website, a Google Business Profile that actually works and local SEO, which together bring in more than any advertising at that budget.
Calls over Zoom or Teams, booked when you actually need one rather than on a fixed schedule. You'll be talking to whoever's doing the work, not an account manager passing messages along. Most Rochdale clients find that quicker than setting aside half a day for a meeting.
Web design starts in the low thousands. Ongoing retainers start at a few hundred a month. We’ll tell you straight on the first call whether your budget fits what you’re after.
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!
