Ascot at a glance

The Windsor and Maidenhead local authority area grew by 3.1% between mid-2021 and mid-2024, to 158,760 people. New residents have no favourite plumber, café or hairdresser yet, so they search; a clear website is how an Ascot business gets onto that first list.

Larger detached homes (40.9% of households) mean bigger gardens, driveways and renovation projects. For landscapers, builders and home services, a portfolio of real jobs is the strongest sales page.

Rules to know before your Ascot website goes live

Some homework for Ascot businesses before the website goes live:

• A limited company must include its name on all company documents, publicity and letters, and on business letters, order forms and websites it must also show its registered number, its registered office address and where it is registered. GOV.UK: company names on websites
• 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
