The local picture in Tipton

With 35.2% of households raising dependent children, a lot of local spending is decided by parents comparing options on their phones in the evening. Clear prices and an easy contact form suit that.

The Sandwell local authority area grew by 3.3% between mid-2021 and mid-2024, to 353,270 people. New residents have no favourite plumber, café or hairdresser yet, so they search; a clear website is how a Tipton business gets onto that first list.

Where 12.3% of residents have a main language other than English, clear and simple wording goes a long way: short sentences, photos that show the service and prices that need no explanation.

What England asks of a business online

Selling or advertising online does not change the rules, but a few rules often come up:

• Organisations, including sole traders, that use personal information need to pay a data protection fee to the ICO, although many can rely on an exemption; the tier 1 fee is £52. ICO: data protection fee
• 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
