A few of the many businesses we've worked with, big and small
Businesses in Greater London have a huge potential customer base, and it is also the most competitive area in the country. Your marketing needs to be perfect to drive results. Whether that’s print advertising that stands out on a busy underground, social posts that people connect with or a website that loads fast enough to keep up. As a full-service marketing agency, we can help you develop a strong strategy across all areas of marketing, implement it and report on the results.
We’re not pretending to be a London agency. We’re a Cheshire team that works with London SMEs who want serious work without paying for someone else’s Soho rent. That suits some businesses and not others.
London businesses come to us for one of two reasons. The first is cost – our rates are considerably less than what an equivalent London agency charges, because our overheads are nowhere near as high. The second is our approach – close-knit team, no account managers in the way, your senior contact stays with you throughout. Most London agencies are built on a different model with multiple account-management layers. That’s fine for some clients. It’s not what we do.
We work with London SMEs across most sectors. Trades and construction in the outer boroughs. Hospitality and retail in zones one and two. Professional services everywhere. Tech startups in Shoreditch, Camden and Old Street. We may not be based in the capital, but we know the market, challenges and opportunities.
Thirty-two boroughs, each with its own high street, its own competition and its own search behaviour. Treating London as a single market is the most common and most expensive mistake.
Croydon and Camden don't share customers, competitors or price points. Location pages have to speak to the borough rather than the city, or they end up ranking for neither.
Competition thins noticeably outside zones one and two. Trades, venues, and services further out can rank for terms that would be unaffordable in the centre.
There are a lot of businesses in London and standing out can be challenging. This is why we invest time in analysing the competition and innovate.
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 is the unglamorous engine behind most successful London SMEs. Even in a city this big, people search by borough or area – “plumber Camden”, “hairdresser Shoreditch”, “accountant Hammersmith”. The Google Maps pack still dominates clicks for service searches at that granularity.
What works in London isn’t different from what works anywhere – just more competitive. Stand-out, value-led, consistent, on-brand social media content. Borough-specific landing pages that don’t keyword-stuff. Citations across the directories that matter. Steady drip of fresh reviews. Fast, accessible site that Google trusts. The discipline matters more in London because the margin for error is smaller.
We don't want to be boring or blend in. We know your area is competitive and we create marketing content that will stand out.
We pride ourselves on our incredible feedback and strong client relationships. 100% positive. Read our reviews - 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.

No, we’re in Cheshire. We don’t pretend otherwise. Most of our London clients picked us specifically because we’re not London – lower fees, tight-knit team, faster turnaround. Some London agencies match what we do, but cost cost three times more for the same work.
Typically, we charge a lot less – we don’t have a fancy office in the city centre so with lower overheads we can offer the same great standard of work at a more affordable rate. There are some good London agencies out there, but you should pick the right team for you rather than the one with the right postcode. We offer a boutique in-house team focused on bringing creative, innovative marketing to life. 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.
Unfortunately, we hear this a lot. Marketing agencies aren’t all the same, and many of our clients have had negative experiences with other agencies. It’s part of the reason we only have a 30-day notice period – to reassure those who’ve been let down before. Communication is a big deal for us, and we can talk as often as you need. Some clients have a monthly reporting call as standard, plus whatever else crops up in between, while others have WhatsApp groups where they can catch up and share pictures with the team in real-time. We also have a client portal and a social media portal where you can easily speak directly with your main contacts. For us, it’s all about being easy to reach and there when you need us. Need a quick chat? We can simply send over a Zoom, and nobody loses a morning to travel.
All of them. We’ve worked (and still work) with clients in Camden, Shoreditch, Hammersmith, Croydon, Wandsworth, Islington, Greenwich, Bromley and several others.
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.
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!
