Marketing for Yeovil businesses
Helicopter building defines Yeovil. Leonardo Helicopters, formerly Westland, has built helicopters in the town for decades and is by far the largest employer, and RNAS Yeovilton, the Royal Navy air station, is a few miles north. Between them they keep a deep supply chain busy: machine shops, composites specialists, electronics firms, test and calibration labs and engineering service companies on estates such as Lufton, Houndstone and Pen Mill.
Many of those suppliers depend heavily on one or two big customers, and marketing is a way to spread that risk. A typical plan:
- Google Search on specific processes, materials and approvals, such as five-axis machining or composite repair, with quote requests and drawing uploads tracked
- LinkedIn Ads aimed at procurement and quality roles in aerospace, defence, energy and motorsport
- Remarketing to buyers who viewed capability pages
- Recruitment campaigns for machinists, inspectors and technicians, often linked to apprenticeships
Defence work brings restrictions on what can be said publicly, so we work only from approved material and every ad is signed off before it runs.
Yeovil College and University Centre Yeovil offer engineering and aerospace courses linked to local employers, and they market courses through search and Meta lead ads around enrolment periods.
Around the town, farming, food production and tourism matter across the countryside towards Sherborne and the Dorset border. Farm shops and food producers benefit from Instagram, local Meta ads and email lists for seasonal produce and Christmas orders. Care homes across south Somerset need family-facing search ads within healthcare policies and recruitment campaigns. Retailers at Quedam and Yeovil Retail Park, plus some ecommerce firms based in the town, can use Shopping ads and email. Trades and builders get most enquiries from search ads.
