There’s something about Devon. Maybe it’s the sea air or the creative energy that buzzes through places like Totnes and Exeter—but business here feels different. Whether you’re running a boutique hotel in Ilfracombe or a solar startup in Newton Abbot, one thing’s for sure: you need people to find you online. That’s where we come in. At RS Digital, we might not be based in Devon, but we know the rhythm of the South West, and we know how to make digital marketing work for businesses that don’t want fluff—just results. So, let’s talk real strategies that fit your patch.

SEO in Devon
Getting to the top of Google is a bit like finding the best pasty in the county—you’ve got to know where to look and what makes it great. SEO isn’t about stuffing keywords into awkward sentences or chasing algorithms. It’s about being found by the right people at the right time—whether they’re tourists planning their summer break or locals searching for services they trust.
In Devon, search behaviour isn’t quite the same as it is in, say, Manchester. It’s a bit more nuanced. Seasonal changes matter. Mobile searches spike when the sun’s out. And trust us, Google knows when someone’s looking for a cream tea versus a plumber.
That’s why our SEO approach is grounded in real-world behaviour. We look at what your audience is typing in—not just what you think they’re searching for. We track how they move through your site and where they lose interest. Then we fix it. From technical bits like page speed to local listings that actually match what you offer, we make sure your business doesn’t just show up—it stands out.
And no, we don’t disappear after a few tweaks. SEO is an ongoing job, like keeping the weeds out of a Dartmoor garden. Done right, it keeps working in the background while you get on with running your business.

Google Ads in Devon
Now, let’s be honest—Google Ads can be a minefield. It’s all too easy to pour money into campaigns and see little return, especially if you’re just ticking boxes or relying on auto settings. That’s not how we do things.
In Devon, where local intent plays a huge part, ads need to be sharp, relevant, and geographically tuned. A broad ad campaign won’t cut it. Someone in Barnstaple searching for “emergency electrician” at 11pm isn’t going to care about your ad if it’s full of vague promises or lists services you don’t even offer in their postcode.
We focus on quality over quantity. Tightly targeted keywords. Real-time performance tracking. Ad copy that actually speaks like a human (imagine that). Whether you’ve got a seasonal product to push in summer or need to boost bookings during the slower months, we’ll help you spend smart—so every click has a purpose.
And because we manage everything—from keyword research and budget planning to split testing headlines—you’ll get a campaign that evolves with your goals. No guesswork. Just clean data and clear outcomes.
Web Development in Devon
Think of your website like the front of a Devon shop—tidy, welcoming, easy to get around. If visitors can’t find the door, or the shelves are a mess, they’re not sticking around. That’s where we come in.
Web development isn’t just coding—it’s communication. What do you actually want your visitors to do? Book a room? Call you? Buy a handmade candle? Every button, headline and image should gently guide them there. No waffle. No clutter.
We build websites that look good, load fast, and speak clearly. Built for mobile first (because let’s be real, no one’s sitting at a desktop in a seaside café), and designed with SEO in mind. Plus, we don’t make you chase us when you want to tweak something. Updates should be easy—and they are.
We also get the charm of local. If you’re a Devon business, your site shouldn’t feel like a corporate brochure from London. We help you bring out the personality of your brand. Whether you need full e-commerce, booking systems, or just a sleek landing page, we’ll build it with the care and attention of someone crafting a bespoke surfboard in Croyde.
Full-Service Digital Marketing in Devon
Digital marketing works best when everything pulls in the same direction. A smart ad campaign won’t help much if your website’s clunky. And great SEO won’t shine if your brand voice is all over the place. That’s why full-service makes sense—especially for Devon businesses juggling tourism waves, local competition, and niche audiences.
When we say full-service, we mean the whole shebang: strategy, SEO, paid ads, content, web design, even social media. Not in a scattergun way, but as a joined-up system that reflects your real goals—whether that’s more online bookings, better brand recognition, or just not having to think about marketing every single day.
We’re not a faceless agency sending reports you don’t understand. You get real conversations, proper support, and the kind of honesty you’d expect from someone in a small village pub. And we know how to adjust for Devon’s quirks—like the way business shifts with the seasons, or how important word-of-mouth still is, even in a digital age.
So if you’re based in Devon—or just doing business here—and you’re ready to take things up a gear without the faff, we’re here when you’re ready. Book a free consultation by calling 01282 452096 or emailing [email protected].
