What we do for businesses in Sheffield

Sheffield turned steel heritage into advanced manufacturing and engineering, alongside two large universities, a growing tech scene and the Peak District right on the edge of the city.

Marketing for businesses in Sheffield

What Sheffield businesses are working with

Advanced manufacturing built on steel heritage, two big universities, and a city that sits right against the Peak District.

  • Advanced manufacturing

    Engineering firms here sell technical capability, often to buyers outside the UK. Technical SEO and genuinely detailed content do more than brand advertising.

  • A big student population

    Two universities mean a large, mobile-first audience. For consumer businesses that's search and social, and speed matters.

  • The Peak on the doorstep

    Outdoor and leisure trade is real here. Businesses serving visitors as well as locals should market to both, deliberately.

Why marketing matters for Sheffield businesses

For Sheffield businesses, manufacturing and engineering buyers do their research online and often internationally. A site that loads slowly or reads thinly costs you a place on the shortlist before anyone speaks to you.

Local search still matters for consumer and trade businesses. “Electrician Sheffield” or “garage Hillsborough” put the map pack front and centre.

The fundamentals are the same either way: a complete Google Business Profile, technical SEO done properly, real content and genuine reviews.

Rhiannon and Darren Birch, founders of Cheshire Cat Marketing

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.

Frequently asked questions

Are you actually based in Sheffield?

No. We’re in Northwich, Cheshire, about under two hours away. Most of the work is remote anyway, and our overheads stay lower than a firm with a Sheffield office. Clients tend to prefer that.

Do you understand the Sheffield market?

Yes. We know the local competition, the search patterns and what actually brings enquiries in Sheffield rather than what looks good in a pitch deck.

Do you work with engineering and manufacturing firms?

Yes. For engineering and manufacturing it’s usually a credible B2B website, technical SEO for the capabilities you want found, and content that stands up to a technical buyer reading it properly.

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.

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 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.

We've seen our followers steadily grow whilst we've been working with them - recommended!
