One thing about working in Dover: the local environment matters. South East climate; mild and relatively dry, warm summers, sheltered from Atlantic weather. Local painters & decorators who understand this market are at an advantage — but only if customers can actually find them when the moment comes.
A commuter town in the South East, a town of 44k people. Dover has its own search patterns and local people type things like "painter and decorator near me", "painter in Dover", "decorator Dover" when they need a painter & decorator. If your website doesn't rank for those exact phrases, you're invisible to the customers most likely to call.
If you are a painter & decorator in Dover, your customers are not just in Dover. They are in Brighton, Southampton, Reading, Milton Keynes too.
