Digital marketing in Clare, measured in enquiries.
Clare has an unusual structure: an administrative and commercial centre at Ennis, an industrial cluster around Shannon, a serious tourism economy along the west coast, and a large rural remainder. Four economies, one county, and very little overlap between them.
It also sits next to Limerick, which matters more than the county boundary suggests. A great many Clare households shop, work and buy services in Limerick city, and a Clare business competes with Limerick firms whether it wants to or not.
What we run for Clare businesses
Five services. The targeting decision — which of the four Clares you serve — matters more than any of them.
Google Ads
Built around the catchment you actually cover. Ennis, Shannon and the coast behave like separate markets.
Meta ads
Strong outside Ennis, where community networks are tight and a good job is genuinely seen.
SEO
Town-level, plus the profile work that decides local results in a county where people search by town.
Web design
Coverage matters more than polish. A site that does not say which parts of Clare you serve loses enquiries silently.
Social media management
Run for you, so a business looks current when somebody checks.
Competing with Limerick without meaning to
Limerick city is close enough that its businesses appear in searches made in south and east Clare, and its firms advertise into the county routinely.
A Clare business that does not make its local presence obvious is competing on a level field with larger Limerick operations. Making it obvious is the cheapest advantage available.
The tourism strip
Lahinch, Doolin, Kilkee and the coast run on a short, intense season, and the businesses there should not be spending evenly across the year.
Inland Clare has almost none of that pattern, which is why a county-wide budget suits neither.
Where in Clare we work

What it costs
€1,500 a month for one advertising channel fully managed, all social run and every lead followed up. €2,500 adds the second channel and a new website. Month to month, no setup fee, and ad spend is paid by you directly to the platforms from your own account.
Straight answers.
In south and east Clare, constantly, whether you intend to or not. Making your local presence obvious is the most effective response.
If you serve it, yes, but seasonally. Spending evenly across the year on a business whose customers arrive for three months wastes most of it.
Usually not. Shannon's economy is industrial and its households behave differently from Ennis's.
In the town where you have a verified address. Clare's dispersal means no business covers the county in the map pack.
Paid within days, SEO in months — usually faster than Limerick city because the competition is lighter.
