If you're a builder, plumber, electrician or any tradesperson running a small business in East Devon, you've probably felt this frustration: "I'm great at what I do - but I'm nowhere to be seen online." You're not alone.
You’ve got the tools, the skills, the van. Word of mouth has kept you going — until now.
But suddenly, everyone’s searching online before they pick up the phone.
So you try to get ahead. And that’s when the confusion hits:
Everywhere you look, someone’s trying to sell you something different.
You just want to be found when someone searches “trusted tradesperson near Exmouth” or “best plumber Sidmouth.”
But instead, you get:
That’s what I fix.
At 1010 Media, I’ve developed a one-off setup service specifically for tradespeople and small businesses in East Devon.
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all marketing package. It’s a practical, fast, and local solution.
I call it Search Everywhere Optimisation and it does exactly what it says on the tin.
I also include:
I’m based in Devon - and I get local business.
I know East Devon towns like Sidmouth, Exmouth, Budleigh Salterton, Honiton, Seaton, and Ottery St Mary — and what it takes to stand out here.
This isn’t about ranking nationally. It’s about showing up locally — where your ideal customers live, work, and search.
I don’t trap you in long contracts. I don’t confuse you with dashboards and nonsense metrics I get it done - usually in under a week.
Then I give you access, show you how it works, and hand you the keys.
I’ll even check in after 90 days to tweak things if needed.
Because this is hands-on and done properly, I limit Search Everywhere Optimisation to 5 local businesses per month.
If you're in East Devon and you're ready to stop being invisible online - now’s the time.

WordPress is brilliant for velocity, I can launch a polished site over a weekend and your marketing team can start editing on Monday. But if the brief says 'pin 20,000 poems to a live map' or 'scan 10,000 pallets per day', even the best theme or plugin will buckle under the pressure.
