Targeting areas - broad or focused - which is best?
« on: November 06, 2012, 07:47:46 pm »
Hi all, im in the middle of building a WINDOW CLEANING website and i just want to know one thing -

A) should i target my whole county

B) should i target specific towns ( closest to me) and try to condense my work as much as possible?

Im not new to web design and seo i have a few high ranking websites, i just dont see any logic in targetting a large county to maybe get a residential job worth £10 - £20 but its 20 mies away..... is it worth it?

yes it's worth it but only if your thinking long term, I have a round 26 miles away, started off with only two customers, so would canvass and clean the rest of the day, that round now 12 months later is worth £280-£300 for a days work. my next action is to split it into 2 days and keep on canvassing the area, but first few months I was travelling up to it for not a lot of money but glad l had the vision to get it to where I want. hope this helps
