Online Presence for Rural Businesses

Your business is worth
being found online.

TheRuralEdit helps any business that needs to be found and trusted online — a professional website built for you, local SEO so customers find you on Google, and 3 videos a week that put your work, your team, and your equipment in front of the right people.

Who We Are

Two people who actually understand your world.

Between us, we've spent 17 years — half in the field doing the kind of physical work you do every day, and half learning the internet inside out. That combination is rare, and it's exactly why this works for businesses like yours.

Ben Goodall
10 Years Hands-On in the Industry

Ben hasn't just read about your industry — he's lived it. Ten years of hands-on labour across tree surgery, farming, and rural contracting means he knows exactly what your working day looks like, what equipment you use, and what customers actually care about.

When we turn up to film, Ben isn't a stranger on your yard. He understands the work, he can talk to you about it properly, and he knows how to show it in a way that comes across as genuine. Not a city creative who's never been near a farm.

Jake Hughes
7 Years in Digital — Websites, SEO & Social Media

Jake has spent the last 7 years doing nothing but learning the internet — how websites rank on Google, what makes social media content actually get watched, and what turns online visitors into paying customers.

That's not a hobby. It's a track record. Over the years Jake has generated millions of views, significant online revenue, and consistent attention for businesses across different industries. He knows what works because he has done it — repeatedly. He is not learning on your time.

One of us knows your business inside out. The other knows the internet inside out.

Most marketing agencies have never been near a farm or a tree surgeon's yard. Most tradesmen don't know how to rank on Google or why a video gets 80,000 views. We sit in the middle — and that's exactly why we can do this properly for businesses like yours, where other approaches have fallen flat.


What We Do

Found online. Trusted locally. Busy all year.

You don't need dozens of services — just the right ones, done properly.

01

Website Build & Maintenance

A clean, professional website that looks right on phones and computers. We build it and keep it updated so it stays relevant.

02

Local SEO — Being Found on Google

When someone searches for what you do in your area, three or four businesses show up at the top of Google. Those businesses get the calls. We make sure yours is one of them.

03

Video Content — 3 per Week

Short videos of your work, your team, and your equipment — posted every week without fail. Machinery in action, jobs being completed, results you're proud of. Either edited from clips you film, or we come to you and handle everything.

04

Social Media Management

Consistent, professional posts across the right platforms. Not random updates — a steady presence that builds your name over time and turns viewers into enquiries. We explain exactly how this works below.

05

Business Listings Management

Your name, number, address, and hours kept accurate across Google, directories, and maps. Simple but important.

06

Online Systems & Automation

On the premium package — tools to capture enquiries automatically, follow up with customers, and keep your operation running smoothly.

Local SEO — Explained Simply

When someone searches for what you do —
your business needs to come up first.

SEO stands for Search Engine Optimisation — but don't worry about the name. In plain terms, it just means making sure your business shows up near the top when someone types what you do into Google.

Think about it this way: if someone in your area types the name of your service into Google, three or four businesses appear at the top. Whoever those businesses are gets the phone call. If your name isn't there, that customer goes to a competitor — and they never even knew you existed.

That's what SEO fixes. We set your website up properly so Google shows you first.

1
People are already searching

Customers in your area are already searching for what you do, every single day. They just need to find you when they do.

2
The top results get almost all the calls

The first result on Google gets around ten times more clicks than the fifth. Position matters enormously — being on page two is almost the same as not being there at all.

3
It keeps working month after month

Unlike a paid advert that stops the moment you stop paying, good SEO builds over time and keeps generating enquiries without an ongoing cost per click.

Our Experience

We haven't just read about this. We've done it.

We're not a big agency guessing at what might work for rural businesses. We're two people with 17 years of combined hands-on experience — one in your industry, one in digital. Here's what that looks like in real numbers.

What Jake Brings to the Online Side

Over 7 years, Jake has built and ranked websites from scratch, grown social media accounts to hundreds of thousands of views, and generated real attention and revenue for businesses through digital channels. The strategies we use aren't theories from a textbook — they're tested, repeated methods with a real track record behind them. He isn't learning on your time.

02

What Ben Brings to the Industry Side

Ben's 10 years across tree surgery, farming, and rural ground work means he understands your customers, your language, and your working environment. He knows how to present rural trades in a way that comes across as genuine — because it is. He's been on the tools himself. When we film with you, it shows.

03

Why This Matters for Your Business

Rural businesses have been badly served by marketing agencies that don't understand them, and by people who know the industry but don't know the internet. We solve both problems at the same time — which is why this approach works where others haven't. You're not funding someone's learning curve. We already know what we're doing.

How It Works

Simple from the start.

Getting set up with TheRuralEdit is straightforward. There's no long sales process.

1

Have a Chat

We get on a call or come to see you. You tell us about your business and what you're hoping to achieve.

2

We Put a Plan Together

We outline exactly what we'll do, what it costs, and what you can expect. Nothing vague.

3

We Get to Work

Website, social media, content — all set up and running. You're kept informed without being bombarded.

4

You Start Getting Found

Month by month your online presence grows. More people find you. The work speaks for itself.

Questions

Things people usually ask us.

Yes — that's exactly who we work with. You don't need to understand websites or social media for this to work. We explain what we're doing in plain language, and you'll always know what's been done and why. If you have a question at any point, just ask. We're not one of those agencies that sends you a jargon-filled monthly report that doesn't mean anything.
Yes — but through consistency, not overnight miracles. When someone searches for what you do, they call whoever is at the top of Google. SEO puts you there. Social media builds trust over time — people see your work regularly and think of you when they need it, rather than a stranger they found in a directory. The businesses that do best stick with it and let it build month on month.
We work with any business that needs a stronger online presence — but we specialise in trades and rural businesses because Ben has worked in those industries himself. Tree surgeons, digger and equipment hire, groundwork and fencing, farm shops, rural garages, machinery dealers, and more. If you do skilled hands-on work and your customers are struggling to find you, we can help.
Some things happen quickly — your website going live, your social accounts looking professional, your Google listing being accurate. SEO and audience growth take a little longer; typically 2–4 months before you notice a real difference in enquiries. We set realistic expectations from the start.
We work on rolling monthly agreements with a short notice period. We'd rather earn your business every month by doing a good job than tie you into something you're not happy with. Terms will always be clear before anything starts.
The main difference is who does the filming. On Foundations, you record clips on your phone and send them to us to edit. On On Location, our team travels to you, films professionally, and handles everything. The quality is noticeably higher, and you don't have to think about it at all.
