Cheshire-based agency working with Salford SMEs across media, creative, tech and professional services. 45 minutes away. Properly built sites, SEO that works, 30 days notice.
A few of the many businesses we've worked with, big and small
Salford changed completely when MediaCity arrived. Broadcast, production, creative and tech firms now sit alongside an established base of trades, manufacturing and services. We work with Salford clients across creative and B2B, and we’re about 45 minutes down the road.
MediaCity reshaped the local economy, but Salford is still a working city with trades, manufacturing and services alongside the broadcast and creative firms.
MediaCity pulled in production, broadcast and agency work. If you sell into that world, your own site is the portfolio, and it gets judged in seconds.
The Quays keep attracting new businesses and residents. Newer firms win by being findable before anyone knows the name.
Salford firms compete with Manchester agencies for the same clients. Ranking locally is how you catch the ones who'd rather work with someone nearby.
For Salford businesses, the media cluster cuts both ways. It brings work and talent, but it also means your competition is often media-literate and well presented. Looking credible online is the entry ticket, not the differentiator.
Local search still decides a lot. “Video production Salford” or “accountant Eccles” put the map pack front and centre, and missing it costs you the enquiries that were ready to buy.
The fundamentals are what win: a complete Google Business Profile, accurate citations, location pages with something real to say, and a steady flow of genuine reviews.
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 Salford 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 45 minutes 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 Salford.
Yes. For production companies, studios and agencies it’s usually a site that shows the work properly and loads fast, plus SEO for the services you want to be known for. We build properly, so performance comes as standard.
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 Salford 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 tell you straight on the first call whether your budget fits what you’re after.
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!
