Digital Marketing
in Conwy
Conwy packs a lot into a small space: a castle, the best part of a mile of town walls, a quay, and streets full of independents all chasing the same visitors. I help Conwy businesses get picked, with Google Ads, SEO, websites and social ads. I'm based in Abergele, about 20 minutes along the A55, so I'm practically a neighbour.

Conwy the Town, Conwy the County
Conwy the town is the walled one. Edward I's castle and walls, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the quay with the smallest house in Great Britain, Plas Mawr, and streets of cafés, galleries and gift shops. The Honey Fair still runs every September under the town's royal charter. Visitors come all year, and most have picked where to eat before they've found a parking space.
Across the river are Deganwy and Llandudno Junction, which are more about homes, offices and trades. The business parks and the Welsh Government offices at the Junction bring a weekday crowd that has nothing to do with castles.
Then there's Conwy the county. If you searched "marketing Conwy" and meant the county borough, that's my patch: Abergele is in it, along with Llandudno, Colwyn Bay, Llanrwst and Betws-y-Coed. The table further down links to all of them.

Marketing a Walled Town
Visitors Decide on Their Phones
A lot of people pick a café or a gift shop from Google Maps while they're walking round. Good photos, the right opening hours and replies to recent reviews are often worth more here than an ad budget.
Small Town, Lots of Competition
There are a lot of similar businesses inside a small area. The ones that win say clearly what makes them different, on the website and on the map, instead of "lovely food, friendly staff".
Direct Bookings for B&Bs and Lets
Guest houses and holiday lets around Conwy pay a lot in booking-site commission. A site that takes direct bookings, plus ads to past guests, keeps more of that money in town.
Year-Round Trade Over the River
Trades, offices and services around Llandudno Junction and Deganwy need enquiries, not footfall. That's Google Ads and local SEO, done properly.

Twenty Minutes Down the A55
Conwy is close enough that meeting in person is the easy option. I'll come to you, have a look at the shop or the rooms, and we'll work out what's worth doing and what isn't. After that it's calls, email and a monthly report in plain English.
One person, start to finish. No account managers, no juniors, no being passed around. Month to month, too: if I'm not getting you results, you can leave.

Questions People Ask
Are you based in Conwy?
In Conwy county, yes: Abergele is in Conwy County Borough. In Conwy town, no. I'm about 20 minutes away, which is close enough to pop over.
Is Google Ads worth it for a café or shop in Conwy?
Often not, to be honest. For walk-in trade in a visitor town, your Business Profile and reviews usually do more than paid ads. Ads make more sense for bookings, events and anything people plan ahead. I'll tell you which camp you're in.
Can you help a Conwy B&B take more direct bookings?
Yes. A website with a booking calendar, a Business Profile that links to it, and ads to past guests before the busy months. Every direct booking is one you don't pay commission on.
Do you cover Deganwy and Llandudno Junction?
Yes, from this page and the Conwy service pages. For Llandudno itself, see digital marketing in Llandudno.
Is there a marketing company in Conwy that does ads, SEO and websites?
There are a few agencies about. I'm a freelancer who does all three, so you get one person who sees how your ads, website and search rankings fit together. Ongoing work starts from £250 a month, and websites from £600.
