Digital marketingfor local retail

Today, almost every purchase starts with a search, even the ones that end at the counter. We help shops, workshops, service providers and small and medium-sized businesses be found at that moment, and turn an online visit into a visit to the shop, a phone call or an order.

We work with a business community we know well, from the shops near the Sanctuary of Fátima, which sell to visitors from many countries, to the neighbourhood businesses of Ourém, Leiria and the Centro region, which live from returning customers.

For businesses that sell over the counter, the first step is almost always local SEO: a complete Google Business Profile, reviews, correct opening hours and pages that answer “near me” searches. For those who also want to sell at a distance, we build online stores connected to existing stock and processes, with payments and shipping set up and a simple mobile checkout.

When you need to speed things up, Google Ads campaigns with a controlled budget put the shop at the top of searches with buying intent, in the area that matters. Social media keeps the relationship with regular customers alive: new arrivals, window displays, seasonal campaigns and the faces behind the counter.

You don’t have to do everything at once. We start by reviewing what already exists, such as the website, Google profile, social media and ads, and propose a phased plan that fits the budget and the time of year. Often the first improvements cost little and show quickly.

Throughout, we measure what matters: calls, direction requests, contact page visits, online sales. A monthly report with concrete numbers, so you can decide where to put the next euro. For an idea of the investment, our pricing is public.

The industry’s challenges

  1. 01

    Searching before visiting

    Customers check online that the shop exists, that it is open and that it has what they want. If they can’t find it, they go to a competitor.

  2. 02

    Competing with big platforms

    Marketplaces and national chains come first in almost every search. Local businesses have to play on proximity and service.

  3. 03

    Shop and online store out of sync

    Stock, prices and promotions managed in different places, and online orders arriving with no process to handle them.

  4. 04

    A small budget and no measurement

    Some money spent on ads and posts, with no idea what brought customers in. Without numbers, you can’t decide where to put the next euro.
