Marketing Agency in Shropshire | Woodwise Media

Marketing agency for businesses across Shropshire

From market towns to rural villages, Shropshire businesses depend on local customers. We help them find you — on Google, on their phones, and at the moment they’re ready to buy.

A beautiful county where people still search on Google

Shropshire is one of England’s largest and most rural counties. From the market towns of Oswestry and Market Drayton in the north to Ludlow and Bridgnorth in the south, from the Shropshire Hills AONB to the Ironbridge Gorge — it’s a county of small towns, villages, and the businesses that serve them.

But rural doesn’t mean old-fashioned. When someone in Church Stretton needs a plumber, they search on Google. When a couple in Ludlow looks for a restaurant, they check Google Maps. When a farmer near Whitchurch needs a fencing contractor, they reach for their phone. The buying behaviour is the same as anywhere — but most Shropshire businesses haven’t adapted their marketing to match.

That’s the opportunity. In many Shropshire towns, the bar for local SEO is still low. A well-optimised Google Business Profile, a website that actually ranks, and a handful of targeted ads can put you head and shoulders above the competition. We help you do exactly that.

The unique challenges of marketing in a rural county

Shropshire businesses face problems that urban agencies don’t understand. We do — because we’re based here.

🌾

Scattered customer base

Your customers aren’t concentrated in one postcode. They’re spread across towns and villages, each searching for slightly different things. You need to show up in all of them.

🏢

Distant agencies don’t get it

You’ve tried marketing agencies in Birmingham or Manchester. They don’t understand Shropshire, they don’t know the towns, and they certainly don’t visit. You’re just a number on their spreadsheet.

📶

Assumed to be behind the times

People assume rural businesses don’t need digital marketing. But your customers are searching online just like everyone else — and if you’re not there, they’ll find someone who is.
