Alrewas at a glance

The Lichfield local authority area grew by 4.5% between mid-2021 and mid-2024, to 111,710 people. New residents have no favourite plumber, café or hairdresser yet, so they search; a clear website is how an Alrewas business gets onto that first list.

Industries that stand out in Lichfield

Of the 5,550 business sites counted in the Lichfield local authority area (2026), these groups stand out against the national mix:

• Trades such as electricians, plumbers and roofers (520 sites): the services they offer and where and a quote form that lands in their inbox.
• Farms and agricultural businesses (240 sites): seasonal opening times and a form for wholesale enquiries.
• Insurance brokers and financial advisers (90 sites): how a first meeting works and who the advisers are.
• Hair and beauty salons and other personal services (190 sites): the price list and how to book by email or phone.

Among the most common trades: 100 pubs and bars, 15 veterinary practices and 35 childcare day centres. Most are small: 84.0% employ fewer than ten people. In every one of these sectors, the website that wins is the one that answers questions before the customer has to ask.

Running a business website from Alrewas: the rules

Before launch, it helps to have the basics in order. These apply to many small businesses in England:

• You must not send marketing emails or texts to individuals without specific consent; there is a limited exception for your own previous customers, often called the soft opt-in. ICO: email marketing
• When you sell online, you must tell the customer they can cancel their order up to 14 days after it is delivered, and they do not need to give a reason. GOV.UK: online and distance selling
• Under the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024, whose rules on this came into force on 6 April 2025, you must not commission fake reviews or pretend to be a consumer leaving one, and if you publish consumer reviews you have to take appropriate steps to make sure they are genuine. GOV.UK: unfair commercial practices
