Outranked by directories
Searches for the business turn up aggregator listings and review sites before the business's own website.
Local work
Websites and customer tools for businesses in Sutton Coldfield and the surrounding towns, from a company registered in the town itself.
Anglo Ascot Group Limited is registered in Sutton Coldfield, and a fair amount of our work has come from the town and the streets around it: Boldmere, Wylde Green, Walmley, Mere Green and Four Oaks. That is a registered office rather than a public shop front, so a first conversation usually starts in writing.
Local work has a particular shape. Independent restaurants, barbers, lettings agents, clinics and trades are competing for people who are already nearby and deciding on a phone. The website has to answer the practical questions quickly: what you do, what it costs where that can be published, when you are open and how to reach you.
Local work of ours includes a rental and property management agency in Boldmere and a barbershop website nearby in Castle Bromwich. Some builds are live, others are complete and in pre-launch with the client deciding when they go live, so no launch dates are published here.
Where it usually starts
Searches for the business turn up aggregator listings and review sites before the business's own website.
Opening hours, prices and parking all get asked by phone, because the current site does not answer them plainly.
The site was put together years ago by somebody no longer around, and nobody can now change a price or a photograph.
The venue pays a commission and loses the direct relationship with the customer for the sake of a booking button.
What we build
Scope varies by business. What is included is agreed and priced before anything is built.
Services, prices where you publish them, opening hours, location and contact, arranged for someone reading on a phone.
Page titles, descriptions and content written so a search engine can tell what the business does and where it operates.
Where the operation suits it, a booking or enquiry route of your own rather than one rented from a platform.
Existing images sized, cropped and placed so the site stays quick as well as presentable.
Where the scope includes it, a simple way for your own team to change the content that changes most.
Hosting, domains, ownership and any ongoing support set out in the proposal rather than left vague.
Common questions
Anglo Ascot Group Limited is registered at 573 Chester Road, Sutton Coldfield. That is a registered office rather than a shop front, so meetings are arranged rather than dropped in on.
No. A good share of our work is local, and the rest is with businesses across Birmingham, the West Midlands and the wider UK, worked remotely.
Only if it helps. Plenty of projects run perfectly well over email and calls. For local clients, meeting face to face is straightforward to arrange.
