You’re not trying to win the whole country.
You’re trying to win your patch: Newcastle, Gateshead, Sunderland, Durham, North Tyneside, South Tyneside, Teesside.
That’s why “local video marketing” is such a big opportunity. Most generic national content won’t hit the mark the way something clearly made for your area will.
Why local beats generic
When potential customers see:
Familiar streets, accents and locations
References to places they know
Real local businesses like theirs featured
…it instantly feels more relevant and more trustworthy.
Local video content:
Cuts through the noise of generic marketing
Shows you understand the North East, not just business in theory
Helps you become the “go‑to” locally, not just another name online
People like doing business with people who “get” where they’re from.
Ideas for local‑focused videos
Here are some simple ways we bring your local area into your video content:
Film on recognisable streets or landmarks where appropriate
Mention “North East”, “Newcastle”, or specific towns in your intros or titles
Talk about seasonal factors that affect local businesses (tourist season, match days, events, etc.)
Make it easy for locals to find your videos
A little bit of basic optimisation goes a long way:
Use location keywords in titles and descriptions (e.g. “Dental Practices in the North East ”)
Add location tags where platforms allow it
Post in local Facebook groups, LinkedIn communities or business networks (sensibly, not spammy)
Collaborate with other local businesses so you appear in each other’s audiences
The more you show up in local feeds and search results, the more you become the default option.
