→How we can help
Being good at the work isn’t enough if nobody can find you. We build the marketing basics that get a Cornish business seen: a Google Business Profile that wins the map result, local SEO that matches what customers actually search, social posts planned around your real schedule, and the emails, flyers and templates that keep you in front of the right people.
No jargon, no retainer you didn’t ask for. Book an hour, leave with a written plan, act on it the same week. Every service in the list above has its own page if you want the detail.
Our design process
Marketing support that’s simple, effective, and built around your business.

From templates to content and graphics, we design marketing tools that look great and work in the real world.
03Elevate
We show you how to use everything with confidence, keeping you in control and ready to grow at your pace.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be on every social platform?
No. Most trades and small businesses only need one or two places where their customers already are. We’ll help you choose the right ones and keep your content consistent and on-brand.
Can you help if I don’t have a marketing plan at all?
Absolutely. Most of our clients come to us starting from scratch. We’ll walk you through what’s worth doing now, what can wait, and how to build a small, manageable plan that works.
How does local SEO actually help?
Local SEO helps your business show up when people search in your area, like “electrician near me” or “plumber in Redruth.” We optimise your site, Google Business Profile, and content so you get seen by local customers.
Do you create content too, or just design?
We do both. We’ll write clear, practical website copy and social post ideas that actually sound like you, plus design branded graphics to match. It’s the full package, made simple.
Can I manage my marketing myself once it’s set up?
Yes. Everything we create is made to be simple to use and easy to manage. We’ll give you templates, tools, and training so you feel confident running things on your own or with our help when needed.
At a glance.

Cornwall marketing support, built from a Redruth studio
Sanders Design has supported Cornwall businesses for over twenty years, and the marketing side of the studio works with Cornwall businesses that need practical marketing help without a full agency retainer: one-to-one advice, Google Business Profile setup, local SEO reviews, social planning, content writing and simple marketing plans for trades.
Cornwall’s small-business landscape is unusual. Budgets are tight, seasons are compressed, and most owners wear five hats at once. A Truro florist doesn’t need a 40-page brand strategy; a Camborne plumber doesn’t need a monthly retainer. What they need is someone who can look at the current setup, point to the three things that will move the needle in the next 30 days, and either do the work or hand over instructions.
Every engagement starts with a discovery call. We audit what you already have running, map what your customers actually search for, and prioritise by impact and effort. You leave the first session with a written follow-up and three prioritised actions. From there, work at whatever cadence suits: a one-off session, a monthly check-in, or ongoing support.
What is included in Cornwall marketing support
- Discovery call and current-state audit
- Written follow-up with three prioritised actions
- Google Business Profile setup or refresh
- Local SEO review across pages, schema, citations and reviews
- Social planning, post design and email newsletters
- Content writing for web pages and profile posts
- One-off projects, or design & SEO support from £350/mo (+ VAT)
Where we work
Based at Krowji in Redruth, we work with businesses across Cornwall and, over Zoom, well beyond it.
Why Cornwall businesses choose us over a national agency
National agencies sell packages that assume a metropolitan customer base and a metropolitan budget. Neither applies here. We size the work to your Cornwall market, price it to your Cornwall revenue, and measure success in leads and enquiries, not vanity impressions. Being local means we know the search reality too: how tourism traffic shifts by season, why “near me” searches spike in the school holidays, and why a Google Business Profile matters more than a big ad spend for most Cornish trades. That knowledge shapes every recommendation.
Let’s get more eyes on your business
Marketing doesn’t have to feel overwhelming, we’ll help you show up with confidence.
