Local Business Marketing Intelligence in Southend

Southend Pier is the longest pleasure pier in the world at about 1.33 miles into the Thames Estuary, and its current iron structure, which opened in 1890, had the UK's first pier railway.

The Southend BID, incorporated in 2013, represents and invests in the interests of local businesses across the town. ONS recorded 7,050 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses in the area.

60.4% of new businesses in Southend-on-Sea were still trading two years on, as of 2022 (ONS). Numbers like that make marketing intelligence worth having, not optional - a static approach loses ground fast in a market this active.

About Marketing Intelligence

Marketing Intelligence is our monthly report for owners who have the figures but rarely have the time to sit down and read them. We bring your business profile together with the information available from your connected accounts, and turn it into plain English next steps.

    We use your business details, services, areas and goals to give the numbers context.

  2. Step 2: Connect

    You authorise read-only access to the accounts you want included, such as website, search, social or advertising.

  3. Step 3: Monthly report

    We bring the available information together: what changed, what worked and what needs attention.

  4. Step 4: Recommendations

    Prioritised actions in plain English, so you know what to do next without deciphering a spreadsheet.
