> dijitul helps Scunthorpe engineering contractors, fabricators, hauliers, farm businesses and local trades with Google Ads, social media and email marketing, especially firms looking for customers beyond the steelworks. We work remotely from Mansfield. Google Ads management starts from £150 a month + VAT plus ad spend, and social media management from £125 a month + VAT.

Scunthorpe is the UK's best known steel town, and hundreds of engineering contractors, fabricators, maintenance specialists and hauliers have grown up around the works. With the steelworks' future regularly in the national news, many of those suppliers are trying to win work in renewables, rail, energy and defence. That is a marketing problem as much as a sales one. A firm that has always won work through one big customer now needs to explain itself to strangers.

The first step is usually a clear capability page or statement and a way to measure enquiries. Then come the channels buyers in new sectors actually use: search ads on specific services, such as steel fabrication, plant maintenance or shutdown support, aimed at the regions you can serve; LinkedIn ads to engineering, procurement and project managers in target industries; and email to contacts met at events. Case studies and project photos give ads something credible to point at, and tracking quote requests shows which sectors are responding.

Hauliers along the M180 market to shippers through search ads and recruit drivers through Meta and job campaigns. North Lincolnshire's wider economy includes food processing and farming around Brigg, Barton-upon-Humber and Epworth, where farm shops and food businesses use Facebook, local Meta ads and email for seasonal produce. Trades and retailers in the town compete on local search, where a strong Google Business Profile and tightly targeted ads help.
