What we do for businesses in Staffordshire

Staffordshire’s a varied county – the Stoke conurbation in the north, the Burton-on-Trent brewing belt in the east, Lichfield and Tamworth’s professional services in the south, and the rural mix between. We’ve worked with clients across most of it.

Staffordshire’s not one market – it’s several. North Staffordshire’s pottery and manufacturing legacy is different to South Staffordshire’s commuter-belt professional services. Lichfield’s tourism and heritage trade is different again to Burton’s brewing and logistics. The marketing that works here has to actually understand which Staffordshire we’re talking about.

We’re a small Cheshire team that’s done a fair bit of work across the county. Properly built websites that load fast even on rural broadband. Local SEO that gets your Google Business Profile actually showing up for searches in your specific town. Ad campaigns built around what brings real enquiries.

Why marketing matters for Staffordshire businesses

Local SEO is the highest-impact thing for most Staffordshire SMEs. Whether it’s “plumber Lichfield” or “accountant Stafford”, the Google Maps pack takes most of the clicks. Miss it and you’re out of the running.

What works consistently across the county: a Google Business Profile that’s complete and active. Accurate citations. Location-specific landing pages that aren’t just keyword-stuffed copies. A steady drip of fresh reviews from genuine clients.

Do the work properly and you turn up right across the county exactly when someone’s searching for what you offer. Staffordshire’s a big, mixed patch – Potteries, market towns, rural trade – so local visibility is where the enquiries come from.

Frequently asked questions

Are you actually based in Staffordshire?

No. We’re in Northwich, Cheshire – just over the border. We work with Staffordshire clients regularly across the county. Most prefer the lower overhead.

Which parts of Staffordshire do you cover?

All of it. Stoke and the Potteries in the north, through to Lichfield, Tamworth, Stafford, Burton and the rural areas. We’ve worked with clients across most of it.

Do you understand the Staffordshire market?

Yes – though Staffordshire’s not really one market, it’s several. North Staffs is different to South Staffs is different to East Staffs. We learn the specific local market for each client during discovery rather than assuming.

Do we need to meet in person?

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 Staffordshire market, which matters far more to the work than where the meeting happens.

What's the smallest budget you'll work with?

Web design starts in the low thousands. Ongoing services 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!
