Get in touch with Tony.
Form, phone, text, WhatsApp or email — they all reach the same person, and that person is the one who’d do the work. Pick whichever you’d rather use.
Send an enquiry
Tell me what’s not working
A few lines is plenty. The more you can say about what’s happening now — quiet phone, wrong sort of enquiries, nowhere to be found on Google — the more useful my reply will be.
You’ll get an honest answer about whether I can help, what I’d suggest doing first and roughly what it would cost. If it’s not something I do, I’ll say so rather than take the job.
Rather not use a form? Call or text 01255 442479, message the same number on WhatsApp, or email Tony@topinlocal.com.

Text or WhatsApp

Work is done from Clacton and delivered across Tendring, Colchester and the wider north Essex area. There’s no shop front to walk into — meetings happen at your place or over a call, whichever suits you.
The street address is coming
The full address and postcode aren’t printed here yet, on purpose. They go on this page, in the footer and on the Google Business Profile at the same time, so all three match exactly — mismatched address details across a website and a Google listing genuinely hold a local business back in the map results.
A map will sit here once that address is published. Until then the phone and email above reach me directly, and nothing about getting hold of me depends on it.
After you send it
What happens next
No drip campaign, no sales sequence, no chasing you for a fortnight.
I read it and look you up
Before replying I’ll have a look at your website and your Google listing, so the answer you get is about your business rather than a template.
You get a straight reply
Whether I can help, what I’d do first and a rough idea of cost. If a free audit would answer it better than a conversation, I’ll offer that instead.
You decide, in your own time
If you don’t reply, that’s the end of it. One follow-up at most, and only if you asked me to.
Common questions
Getting in touch
How quickly will you respond?
Enquiries that arrive during working hours (Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm) normally get a reply the same working day, and anything sent in the evening or at the weekend gets picked up the next working morning. If I’m on site with a client I may answer briefly first and properly later.
Can I just call instead of filling in the form?
Yes, and plenty of people do. 01255 442479 is a mobile and it rings me, not an office. If it goes to voicemail I’m on another call or driving — leave a message or send a text and I’ll come back to you.
Do you offer a free first consultation?
The first conversation costs nothing, and neither does the local SEO audit that usually goes with it. What you get is a real look at your site and your local visibility, not a sales meeting with a report attached. There’s no obligation to buy anything afterwards.
What information should I include?
Your business name and town, your website address if you have one, and a sentence about what’s not working. That’s enough for me to look you up and give you a specific answer. Don’t send passwords or account logins in a first message — there’s no need for them at this stage.
What do you do with my details?
Reply to you. That’s it. No mailing list, no sharing with third parties, no retargeting adverts following you around. The privacy notice sets out what’s stored and how to ask for it to be deleted.
Do you work with businesses outside Essex?
Occasionally, when the work is a good fit and can be done remotely. Everything I do is built around being found by customers in a specific town, so a local business anywhere makes sense, but a national or e-commerce brand generally doesn’t and I’ll tell you that rather than take it on.
Or start with the audit
Not sure what to ask for?
Ask for the free local SEO audit. You’ll get a specific report on what’s holding your site back, and a clearer idea of what you actually need before you spend anything.
