What we do for businesses in Stockport

Stockport’s had a proper glow-up – a regenerating town centre, a growing creative and tech scene, and a business base that runs from established professional services to new studios and startups. It sits right on Manchester’s edge but keeps its own identity. We work with Stockport clients across services and creative, and we’re about half an hour away.

Stockport’s one of the more interesting markets in the North West right now. The town centre regeneration has pulled in creative studios, tech firms and independents, on top of a solid base of professional services, manufacturing and retail. It’s close enough to Manchester to compete for the same clients, which makes standing out online matter more, not less.

We’re a small team that does the technical work properly. Properly built sites that load fast and rank. Local SEO that gets you into the map pack. Ad campaigns built around enquiries. No account managers in the way – your senior contact stays with you throughout.

Marketing for businesses in Stockport

What Stockport businesses are working with

Stockport's regeneration pulled in creative studios, tech firms and independents, on top of an established base of professional services and manufacturing.

A town centre on the up

The Old Town and the regeneration changed who's trading here and where people go. Newer businesses win by being findable before they're known.

Competing with Manchester

Stockport firms chase the same clients as Manchester agencies. Ranking locally puts you in front of people who'd rather not deal with a city-centre firm.

Creative and independent

A lot of studios and independents here sell on craft. The website has to show the work properly and load fast doing it.

Why marketing matters for Stockport businesses

For Stockport businesses, competing on Manchester’s doorstep means local search is a real edge. “Web designer Stockport” or “accountant Cheadle” – ranking locally puts you in front of people who’d rather work with someone nearby than a faceless city-centre firm.

That means the basics done properly: a complete Google Business Profile, accurate citations, location pages with something real to say, and steady genuine reviews.

With a fast-growing creative and professional-services scene and a big commuter population, Stockport has strong local intent. Nail the fundamentals and you catch it.

Frequently asked questions

Are you actually based in Stockport?

No. We’re in Northwich, about 30 minutes away. Easy to visit, and our overheads stay lower than a firm sat on Manchester’s edge. Most clients prefer that trade.

Do you understand the Stockport market?

Yes. We know the North West well and Stockport in particular – the regeneration, the creative and tech growth, and the fact you’re often competing with Manchester firms for the same work.

Do you work with creative and tech businesses?

Yes. For studios, agencies and tech firms it’s usually a sharp website that shows the work, technical SEO, and content that proves you know your stuff. We build properly, so performance and polish come as standard.

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 tell you straight on the first call whether your budget fits.

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 54 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!
