As you probably know Claygate Life is part of the Elmbridge Life Network (https://elmbridge.life).

The Elmbridge Life Network (https://elmbridge.life) consists of a borough-wide network of local, community interest websites covering Walton on Thames, Cobham, Esher, Weybridge, Thames Ditton, Claygate and Molesey.

 

Let’s Talk Social

Before we get down to website statistics, let’s talk social – as you can see our Social Media reach travels far beyond our local borders.

We offer many opportunities to help increase the exposure of local businesses like yours in the local community and have a number of local partners on our websites, these can all be found on the ‘Local Businesses’ menu option as well as on a scrolling carousel on each page on our website(s).

Here are what some of them have to say about working with us:

We have been using the Elmbridge Life network as our primary method of marketing for the past year. The reach of this page and its associated social media channels is huge and always kept fresh and up to date.  I really do feel the most valuable advertising we do is via Elmbridge Life and we really appreciate their support.

– Emma, Riverside Rebels

 

Being a local independent business in Walton-on-Thames, we need to be able to tap in to the local community through lots of different ways.  Being an Elmbridge Life Network partner has been an excellent platform for us to be able to advertise to people who live within the local area.  We are not very “tech minded”, but Nigel has given us very good advice and helped us set up a page that he keeps updated for us and “likes” and promotes our business regularly.  Our business has definitely benefited from being on Elmbridge Life and we will continue to advertise with him in the years to come.

– Lisa & Ruth, Little All Sports

 

 

We have been an Elmbridge Life Network partner for the last 3 years and have found the service and relationship to have been extremely useful for our business.

We run a community-based Therapy Pilates and Back Care Business in Hersham, Walton and Weybridge.  As a small business promoting ourselves and making sure we have the correct information and approach on our website is always as challenge- there are simply not enough hours in the day to do everything!

Fortunately Nigel has been able to give us that extra support we need. Having a listing and presence on the EL Network and working with Nigel has meant that we now feature well in Google searches as well as having an extra social media presence to complement our own efforts.

Nigel is an expert in the field of websites and social media so knows exactly what is needed to help us raise our profile and get those all important clicks on our website.

He is also always looking at ways to improve coverage and engagement in many different areas so the audience is always growing.

This has meant we can concentrate more on the jobs we are good at- taking care of people’s health and wellness.

I’d whole-heartedly recommend a partnership with Elmbridge Life to any small business that feels they need some extra help with their digital marketing. Money well spent!

– Jo, Better Body Pilates

 

Here at Harmes Turner Brown, we have been working closely with the Elmbridge Life Network as a partner for the last couple of years. The extra advertising and exposure we receive from the EL Network and their sister websites really helps support a small local business like us. Nigel is a joy to work with and the effort, energy and passion he shows certainly comes across within the site which many local businesses like ourselves benefit from. Social media is now a huge part of our everyday lives and Elmbridge Life Network are extremely active over Facebook given us the opportunity to reach more and more followers! We believe the Elmbridge Life Network offers good value for money for the exposure we have on the sites.

– Steve, Harmes Turner Brown Estate Agents

We have always been much more than just a business listings website

We are much more than just a business listings website we actively and regularly publish local, community and family related content that directly appeals to the local residential population.

In other words – your future clients and customers.

Local families and residents actively and regularly visit our website – this is a typical weeks website traffic:

So apart from…

• Fantastic social media coverage.
• High satisfaction ratings among our partners.
• A website that publishes content to actively attract local residents.

What other benefits are there?

• We have a ‘Local Partners’ Carousel on our homepage (https://claygate.life) with a link to your dedicated page on every one of The Elmbridge Network websites – this guarantees that your business is front and centre for every visitor to our homepage (we are now averaging around 30,000 visits per month across our entire website network).

 

We limit promotional posting in our Facebook groups to our full page partners – this provides direct access to almost 39,000 group members, all of whom are local residents – exactly your target demographic.

Our Partners receive free slots in our newsletter – this goes out to over 4000 subscribers and has an ‘open rate’ of well over 60% – this is an ideal way to get it in front of people away from Social Media.

We share posts from our Partners to the main feed of our Facebook pages which combined have over 22000 page likes.

You have the option of providing editorial content for us to publish – this is only available to full page partners and is the perfect way to showcase your expertise and allow our followers to get to know the human side of your business. You!

– this enables you to diversify your online presence, spend less time worrying about your own website and reduce your dependence on Social Media activity to get new clients and customers.

Most of our single pages rank on page one of Google of their own accord for various business related keywords – as you can see below we dominate Google Page 1 rankings for local search terms.

This isn’t by luck – we are partnered with Website Design & SEO Consultants Surrey Digital

We hold 2 out of the top 3 Page 1 spots for keyphrase ‘kids multi sports walton’

3rd place on Page 1 for ‘schoolwear suppliers hersham’

5th and 6th spot on Page 1 for ‘accountancy services hersham’

3rd place on Page 1 for ‘girls netball classes esher’

4th place on Page 1 for ‘pilates classes weybridge’

This is just a small selection of our current rankings to demonstrate how we are ranking different types of businesses in different areas.

We really could go on and on with further examples for other pages but we want to get to the point….
