So my website is now slowly bringing in enquiries. My web designer has done a good job, and already i am moving quickly up google on first page covering a good area surrounding me. Now i have had 2 seperate domestic enquiries come in which are 30 minutes driving time from me. In an area i have no work at all.
Now if i turn the opportunity down, that is fine, but i am looking to take on my work, and i understand that enquiries from your website will never be compact like canvassing. But should i ignore these enquiries simply because i have no work in these areas, or would you take on these 2 enquiries on, and starting working regularly in these areas, knowing that there is a good chance your website may bring in more work in such areas?
At present it would be driving 30 minutes for potentially £25 worth of work... Obviously that is not worth it all at present, but if i stick with it? I could end up getting more work in the area from my website. This is my thinking anyway.(Also this work is 2 miles from where a friend of mine lives who i go and see once a month on a saturday, so could easily bang a few jobs out on way to visiting my friend). Dont get me started on canvassing these areas, i have enough of that to do in a closer proximity to myself in already established areas.
Appreciate any advice from other guys expanding and taking on new work in different areas generated from your website.
