Oswestry
Marketing agency for Oswestry businesses
Oswestry is one of Shropshire’s most distinctive market towns — historic, independent, and right on the Welsh border. But too many local businesses are invisible online. We help you change that, from just 30 minutes away in Shrewsbury.
Why Oswestry Businesses Need Local Marketing
A market town with big ambitions — and growing competition online
Oswestry is Shropshire’s third-largest town, with over 600 registered businesses, a thriving weekly market, and a high street that’s seen real investment through the Heritage Action Zone. Independent shops line Cross Street and Bailey Street, trades and manufacturers operate from Mile Oak and Maesbury Road industrial estates, and professional services serve clients across the town and the Welsh border.
But the way customers find these businesses has shifted. Whether someone needs a plumber in Gobowen, a solicitor on Church Street, or a restaurant for Saturday evening — they search on Google first. And most Oswestry businesses either don’t have a Google presence, or have one that’s been neglected since it was set up.
That’s where we come in. Woodwise Media is a Shropshire-based marketing agency just 30 minutes from Oswestry. We help local businesses get found on Google, generate real enquiries, and stop losing customers to competitors who simply show up first. No jargon, no long contracts — just honest marketing that works.
The Problem
Oswestry businesses tell us the same things
If any of these sound like your situation, you’re not alone — and there’s a clear path forward.
Small town, big digital gap
Many Oswestry businesses still rely on word-of-mouth and footfall. That works — until a competitor starts ranking on Google and takes the customers who used to come to you.
Cross-border competition
Sitting on the Welsh border means you’re competing with businesses on both sides. If someone in Chirk or Llangollen searches for a service, they’ll find whoever shows up first — regardless of which side of the border they’re on.
Your website was built and forgotten
You paid for a website years ago but it doesn’t generate enquiries. It’s slow on mobile, doesn’t rank for local searches, and looks outdated compared to competitors.
