Content & Editorial in Dorchester.

Hub-and-spoke editorial — Dorchester town pieces as parents, surrounding village pieces (Charminster, Stinsford, Broadmayne, Maiden Newton, Cerne Abbas) as children. Each village warrants genuine local context, not town-level content with the village name swapped in. We build editorial calendars that respect the rural geography and the village-level SERPs that compound into the wider West Dorset authority.

For hospitality, hospitality-adjacent and visitor-economy operators, yes — but in proportion to the resident commerce content rather than dominating it. Hardy-circuit visitors are a meaningful but secondary segment. Editorial that respects the literary tourism register (Hardy's Cottage, Max Gate, Stinsford church, Egdon Heath context) earns shares and citations within a discerning literary audience without crowding out year-round commerce.

October-November for the rural catchment to compound through next year. Village-level pages move slowly because the SERPs are sparsely competed; editorial needs 4-6 months to begin meaningful ranking and another 60-90 days to stabilise. Spring starts compress the runway too tightly to catch the May-September commercial peak.
