Cold is a digital marketing agency in Basildon. We plan, build and run the campaigns, the content and the site they point at, from one office at Chester Court. A typical project takes about six weeks, and every report leads with the enquiries the work produced.
This is an instant, live ballpark quote calculator. You’ll see a project range and flexible payment options, including pay over time and monthly retainer costs.
Step 1 of 2Enter your website (or the one you’d like) to start:
Most Basildon businesses already do some marketing. A bit of social, a boosted post, an ad account somebody set up three years ago, a website that hasn't changed since. Each piece is run on its own and judged on its own numbers, so nobody can say which one brought in last month's work. The spend goes up and the picture stays blurred.
We start with the numbers you already have: where enquiries come from, what they cost and which ones turn into work. Then we build one plan across the channels that matter for your market, with the site, the content and the campaigns pointing the same way. Everything is tracked from the first click to the enquiry. The pricing calculator gives you a figure before we speak.
You end up knowing what each pound of marketing is doing. Budget moves towards the channels that bring in paying customers and away from the ones that only bring in likes. For a Basildon business competing with firms across south Essex, that clarity is usually worth more than any single campaign. Recent projects show what it looks like in practice.

Strategy starts with your offer, your margins and who buys from you, before it gets anywhere near a channel. We look at what Basildon competitors are spending time on, where the gaps are, and which customers are closest to buying. The result is a written plan that says what we'll do, in what order, and how we'll know it worked.
We plan, create and post the content, then look after the replies and messages that come back. Each platform gets content made for it, instead of one post copied everywhere. For most Basildon businesses that means fewer channels done properly, and reporting that ties posts to enquiries. Likes go in the appendix.
Search is often the cheapest channel once it's working, so it sits inside the plan from day one. Technical fixes, pages built around what Basildon customers search for, and the work that gets you named in AI answers. If search is the main job, our SEO in Basildon page covers it in more depth.
Paid campaigns get set up after we understand your offer, pricing and conversion rates, because a campaign can hit every cost per click target and still lose money on each sale. We run Google Shopping, Dynamic Search Ads and remarketing, built around how your customers buy, and move budget towards whatever brings in work at a sensible cost.
More traffic is wasted if the page it lands on doesn't convert. We look at where visitors drop off, what the forms ask for, how quickly pages load on a phone and how obvious the next step is. Small changes to a landing page often do more for a Basildon business than doubling the ad budget.
Tracking goes in before anything launches. Every form, call and booking gets recorded against the channel that produced it, so the monthly report shows enquiries by source and what each one cost. You see the same numbers we do, and the plan for next month comes straight out of them.
Week one is for listening and looking. We go through your channels, your analytics, your website and the competitors you lose work to in Basildon. By the end of the week you have a written plan: which channels, what budget, what we'll measure and what a good result looks like.
Campaigns and content go live in stages over weeks two to five. Tracking first, then the landing pages, then the campaigns themselves, so we can see what each one does before more money goes in. You approve the creative before it runs.
By week six there's enough data to act on. Budget moves towards whatever brings in enquiries, weak ads get cut and the landing pages get tightened. Reporting continues monthly from the people running your account, and it leads with enquiries and what they cost.
Forty second answers with no jargon. Anything else, ring the office and ask whoever picks up.
It depends on scope, and a typical project takes about six weeks. What moves the figure is how many channels are involved, how much content needs making and if the website needs work before campaigns can run. You get a fixed figure before anything starts, and the pricing calculator on the site gives you a ballpark in about a minute.
Yes. Our office is at Chester Court in Basildon, so Pitsea, Laindon, Wickford and Billericay are all close by. Clients come in for meetings, or we go to them. Calls work too, and you always speak to the people running your marketing.
Yes, and often it's the sensible move. If the website isn't converting, fixing that comes before anything else. If it is, we start with whichever channel is closest to bringing in work and add more once it's paying for itself. The plan in week one sets out the order.
Monthly, from the people running your account. The report opens with enquiries: how many, from which channel and what each one cost. Clicks, reach and engagement sit underneath as working numbers. If a channel isn't pulling its weight, the report says so and the budget moves.
Yes. Social posts, landing pages, blogs, emails and ad copy are written and designed by us and sent to you for approval. We'll need you for the things only you know: your customers, your best jobs and what you'd like more of. Most clients spend about an hour a month on it.
If you have someone with the time and the skills across search, social, paid and analytics, keep it in-house. Most small businesses don't, and hiring that spread of skills costs far more than a project with us. Some clients do both, with us running the channels and their team handling day-to-day posting.
Cold started in a Basildon bedroom, with Sam Twigg working two jobs, and our office is now at Chester Court on Chester Hall Lane. Nine in ten new clients come to us through a recommendation. You can come in Monday to Friday, 8 till 6, and talk to the people doing the work.
Digital marketing works best when the site and search are pulling the same way, and we run all three. SEO in Basildon builds the organic side, web design in Basildon gives the campaigns somewhere worth landing, and it's all planned from one office.
Clients near you include Tando Capital, a commercial finance broker in Basildon (website and SEO), AB Mortgages in Benfleet (SEO, a redesign and 18 town pages) and the Basildon Skills Show, Basildon Council's careers fair, which we branded.
