Marketing Agency in Allestree, Derbyshire

Most Allestree businesses aren’t after the whole of Derby. They’re after the people who live in Allestree and the parts of north Derby round it. I’m in Belper, five miles up the A6, and I make sure those people find you when they look, on Google and, more and more, in ChatGPT.

Is there a marketing agency near Allestree?

Yes. North Bear Media is Norton Hunt’s studio in Belper, five miles up the A6 from Allestree. It does marketing for Allestree and north Derby businesses, focused on local search and being found by AI assistants like ChatGPT. Ongoing work is Found & Filmed at £995 a month, and the £295 Marketing MOT is the place to start.

Marketing for Allestree businesses.

Allestree’s a leafy, well established suburb on the northern edge of Derby, with the A6 and the A38 on the doorstep, and its businesses run from the ones round Allestree Park to the local shops.

In a suburb like this, your customers are the people who live in it and the parts of north Derby next door. You don’t need to shout across the whole city. You need to be the name that comes up when somebody nearby searches, and to look the part when they dig further. That’s what I set up for you.

That’s local search, which in plain English means Google showing you to people close by. Most of it comes down to your Google Business Profile, the listing with your reviews and opening hours, because that decides whether you’re in the map results. ChatGPT leans on your reviews when it suggests somebody too, so they count twice. I get both working for you.

Five miles is close enough for me to come and see how the business works before I plan anything, and that’s how I do it. You’ll get a better plan from an hour on site than from a website and a phone call.

So how would you actually buy marketing from me?

There are two ways in. The MOT, a one-off £295 that shows you where you stand, and Found & Filmed, the monthly one at £995.

The MOT is six checks, and AI search comes first: whether ChatGPT mentions you when somebody asks for what you do round Allestree. Then it’s where you come up on Google and in the map, your website, your reviews, your social, and two of your competitors scored the same way next to you. It’s back within 48 hours with a score out of 100 and the three things to fix first, and it’s yours to keep whatever you do next.

Found & Filmed is where I do it for you. For an Allestree business that’s the local search side first, your Google listing and coming up in AI search, plus a filming day at yours once a quarter, with the video and stills edited and captioned. I post and schedule them, and I handle the replies. Your website’s hosting and care are included, and you get a report and a call every month.

It’s rolling monthly with 30 days’ notice either way, so if it’s not working you stop, and a second location is £450 a month on top. If it’s one job you’re after, the words for your website, say, or a new brand, that’s a project, and I scope it with you first.

  • MONTHLY //Found & Filmed, £995, rolling
  • SECOND LOCATION //£450 a month
  • ONE JOB //A project, scoped first

How it goes for an Allestree business.

This is the order it runs in. If your Google listing needs fixing, I sort that before anything else.

  1. 01 //

    Have a look first

    That’s the MOT, so we both know where you come up for people in Allestree before anything gets planned.

  2. 02 //

    Film you at work

    Once a quarter I come down with the cameras and film the business as it is, so the posts show your place, not a stock library.

  3. 03 //

    Aimed at people nearby

    It goes out week by week on your socials, aimed at people round Allestree and north Derby rather than the whole city.

  4. 04 //

    Look at what came in

    There’s a report and a call every month, and anything that isn’t bringing people in gets changed.

Common questions about a marketing agency in Allestree.

How much does marketing cost in Allestree?

Ongoing marketing with me is £995 a month, which is Found & Filmed, rolling monthly with 30 days’ notice either way. That’s far less than a full-time hire, with no training and no kit to buy, because I bring my own. To see where you stand first, the Marketing MOT is a one-off £295. Anything outside Found & Filmed gets scoped and priced as a project first.

What kind of marketing do you do?

I do the marketing that gets a local business found on Google and in AI search like ChatGPT, with posts for your socials filmed at the business. For Allestree and north Derby, local search does the heavy lifting, because your customers are close by. Copywriting, brand design, strategy and email campaigns I do as separate projects.

Can you help if I don’t have a big budget?

For ongoing marketing, Found & Filmed is £995 a month and there’s no cheaper monthly version. The Marketing MOT is £295, and it gives you the three things to fix first, ready to tackle yourself or hand to somebody else. You know what needs doing, but you’ve got a business to run, and that’s what Found & Filmed is for.

How quickly will I see results?

A neglected Google Business Profile can be put right fast. Ranking on Google and turning up in ChatGPT take months rather than weeks, and nobody can guarantee what ChatGPT says, but I’ll give you the best chance of being the one it suggests. The monthly report shows you exactly what’s moving.

Do you work with businesses outside Allestree?

Yes. I’m in Belper, five miles from Allestree, and I work with businesses all over Derbyshire and a couple further afield. Allestree’s close enough to meet face to face, or we can do it on a call if that suits you.
