Seafront flats, Regency terraces and a fast train to London mean Brighton customers come to you in very different ways.
A Hove homeowner with a dead boiler, a Lewes landlord looking for a managing agent and a Kemptown tenant who needs a move-out clean all search Google in their own words. HeyLead runs your Google Ads, local SEO, Facebook and Instagram ads and web pages so each kind of job reaches you, and we count the ones that get booked. Send a free audit request to start.
What we do
A Hove property manager and a Worthing plumbing firm need different reach. Each service page starts from your suburbs and drive times, not from a national template.

Who we work with
Lettings and sales agents around Hove and Kemptown who want landlord and seller enquiries to come to them directly, not only through the portals.
Boiler, plumbing and electrical firms whose vans can reach Portslade, Shoreham or Worthing inside one working day.
Cleaning firms covering seafront flats, student lets and small offices from Hove to Lewes, where access times are tight.
Owner-led firms on the Sussex coast that would rather have one agency than a separate freelancer for each channel.
Industries
Regency flats, seafront terraces and Sussex suburbs feed three main industries here. Each has its own Brighton page.
Estate agents, lettings and property management teams, plus commercial owners and maintenance firms, working from Hove to Lewes.

Focus industry
A Hove boiler engineer and a Lewes letting agent need very different marketing. HeyLead plans each campaign around the streets your team can reach in a working day.
HeyLead is a marketing agency for owner-led firms on the Sussex coast. We run Google Ads, local search (SEO), Facebook and Instagram ads and web pages for estate agents, trades and cleaners in Brighton, Hove, Kemptown, Shoreham, Worthing and Lewes. We report booked work in pounds.
The local picture
Your market
Brighton and Hove is a long, thin city squeezed between the Downs and the sea. The coast road runs from Rottingdean through Kemptown, central Brighton and Hove to Portslade and Shoreham, then on to Worthing.
Lewes is inland in East Sussex and Worthing is in West Sussex, so each has its own council and its own customers. The homes change quickly too.
Regency terraces and seafront flats, many of them converted and leasehold, give way to suburban houses in Hollingbury, Patcham and Goring. In the centre, permit parking makes every van visit cost more, so a small job can take more time than it pays.
Rightmove, Zoopla and OnTheMarket own the searches from people browsing homes to buy or rent. That leaves independent agents to win landlords and sellers in other ways. Estate agents need redress scheme membership, heating engineers hold Gas Safe registration and electricians work to Part P.
Your customers
Landlords search for property management in Brighton or letting agents in Hove. A homeowner with a dead boiler types Hove plumber at seven in the morning and rings the first firm that looks trustworthy.
Office and shop managers search for commercial cleaning by area and compare two or three firms before they call. A good lead is someone whose postcode is on a route you already cover.
We do not chase people outside your area, job-seekers or people who only want a DIY answer. Each month you get a report of booked instructions, managed properties, cleans and jobs by suburb, in pounds.
Our approach
First we agree which postcodes your vans, negotiators or cleaning teams can reach in a working day.
Then we build a web page for each main job and area, and set up your Google Business Profile (the listing that shows on Google Maps) with the right categories and service areas.
Google Ads goes live for urgent searches such as a burst pipe or no heating. Facebook and Instagram ads promote planned offers, such as a rental valuation or an office cleaning quote. Every call and form is labelled with the suburb it came from.
Each month we report in pounds and move budget towards the areas that book.

Common mistakes
Kemptown to Worthing is a strip, and rush-hour traffic on the A259 stretches it further. Set one wide circle and Worthing calls reach a team parked in Kemptown. Split the budget by the stretch of coast each crew can cover.
Rightmove, Zoopla and OnTheMarket will keep the people browsing homes. Money spent chasing those searches buys browsers, not instructions. Landlord, seller and block manager searches are where an independent firm can be found, and they need pages that talk about flats, terraces and houses separately.
A burst pipe in Hove and a bathroom quote in Lewes are different jobs with different urgency. On one shared form, the urgent call can wait behind the quote. Give each kind of job its own page, its own phone number and its own line in the monthly report.
How it works
We write down the postcodes your people reach on a normal day, from Kemptown to Worthing, and drop anything that needs a special trip. That list becomes the plan for campaigns and pages.
Landlord valuations, emergency call-outs, end of tenancy cleans and office cleaning quotes each get a page and a form. Flats, terraces and suburban houses are named on the page that suits them.
Google Ads takes urgent searches. SEO and your Google Business Profile hold the map results for Hove and Kemptown. Facebook and Instagram ads promote the jobs people plan ahead.
The monthly report shows booked work and what it cost, by area and in pounds. A busy postcode that never books cannot hide inside one blended Brighton number.
Searches
These are the searches your pages and ads are built around, and what each person is trying to do.
| They search | What they want |
|---|---|
| Brighton property management | Landlord or owner weighing up a managing agent |
| Hove letting agents | Landlord comparing local agents, not browsing listings |
| Brighton commercial cleaning | Contract buyer for an office, shop or restaurant |
| Hove plumber | Urgent trade search, usually from a phone |
| Worthing boiler repair | Heating breakdown where drive time decides the job |
Testimonials from HeyLead clients
I've worked with HeyLead for over a decade. There is no one else I'd trust with lead generation and IT. I've tried others, to my detriment. If you want someone who is dedicated and trustworthy, you couldn't pick someone better.

FAQs
Straight answers about local coverage, campaigns, pages, and how we measure demand in Brighton.
No. HeyLead is an online team, so there is nothing in Brighton for you to visit. We work with you by phone, video or WhatsApp. Your campaigns are set up for the areas you serve.
Usually not. Worthing and Lewes sit outside Brighton and Hove, with their own councils, drive times and customers. Three tight campaigns you can serve beat one wide campaign you cannot.
They stay the place where people browse listings. We build your own stream of enquiries next to them: search, pages and ads that bring landlords, sellers and managers straight to your desk.
Yes, and for many firms it is the right call. Hove alone, or Kemptown alone, is enough to test pages, ads and call tracking before you widen the map.
Access to your Google Business Profile, your ads accounts and your website. We also need the areas you serve, the licences and registrations you hold and how many jobs a week you can take. If you have none of the accounts yet, we can set them up with you.
We check your current coverage and write pages for one or two offers. We set up Google Ads, with a list of words that keep out the wrong searches, and label every call and form by suburb. The first report follows once real enquiries are coming in.
Google Ads can bring calls within days of going live, though the first weeks are for learning which searches book. Local SEO and map listings usually take a few months to build. We do not promise rankings or a set number of jobs.
