Marketing in Richmond, VA
Richmond's banking heritage and growing tech corridor along the I-64 make it a market where financial services and SaaS companies compete for the same digital real estate.
46% of Richmond consumers discover new local businesses through Google Maps rather than traditional search results.
Nearly half of your potential customers in Richmond find businesses through Maps. Your Google Business Profile is more important than your website for initial discovery.
What marketing in Richmond has to beat
Richmond's banking and finance sector drives high CPCs for financial services keywords, pricing out smaller advisory firms and fintech startups.
The VCU and University of Richmond student populations create temporary demand spikes that can mislead businesses into thinking permanent growth is happening.
Richmond's distinct neighborhoods, from The Fan to Short Pump to Scott's Addition, need localized content that generic city-wide campaigns miss.
What is different about Richmond
Richmond is an independent city, and Henrico and Chesterfield counties surround it as separate jurisdictions, so buyers there search the county or the suburb before they search Richmond.
- The Fan, Church Hill, the Museum District and Scott's Addition are used as locators inside the city.
- Short Pump, Glen Allen and Midlothian are searched by name, and each sits in a county with its own permits and offices.
- "RVA" shows up in queries and business names as shorthand for the region.
Timing. Hot, humid summers keep cooling demand high, and the remnants of Atlantic storms reach the region in late summer and fall, bringing down the big old trees and the roofs under them.
