Small village, big catchment

Hurstpierpoint's High Street punches well above its weight - independent shops, cafes, pubs and practices that serve the village and everyone around it. A lot of local businesses here also run from home, covering Hassocks, Albourne, Burgess Hill and beyond.

For all of them, the challenge is the same: being the name that comes up when someone nearby searches for what you do.

  • Be found by people in the villages around you, not just in Hurst
  • Look as professional online as you are in person
  • Turn searches into calls, bookings and visits

How village businesses get found

Local SEO for a village is a little different from a town. Here is what makes the biggest difference.

  1. 1

    A service area that matches reality

    Your Google Business Profile should cover the villages and towns you really serve - Hurstpierpoint, Hassocks, Albourne, Burgess Hill and beyond - not just your postcode.

  2. 2

    Pages that mention the places you work

    Google needs to see on your website where you work, not just what you do. A short, genuine mention of each area goes a long way.

  3. 3

    Reviews from local customers

    In a village, word of mouth is everything - and reviews are word of mouth online. A simple routine for asking happy customers makes a real difference.

Common questions

If your question isn't here, give me a call - I'm just down the road.

Can we meet in person?
Yes - I'm in Hassocks, so Hurstpierpoint is about as local as it gets. Most work still happens on calls, but I'm happy to meet when it helps.
My business is small. Do I really need a website?
If people can find you on Google and your Google Business Profile is complete, you're already ahead of many small businesses. A simple, fast website adds trust and gives you somewhere to send people. It doesn't need to be big - it needs to be right.
I run my business from home. Can I still show up in local searches?
Yes. Google Business Profile lets you hide your home address and show a service area instead, so you can appear in local results without publishing where you live.
Do you cover the surrounding area?
Yes - Hassocks, Albourne, Burgess Hill, Haywards Heath and across Mid Sussex, plus clients further afield.
