✅ Sweet SpotHigh volume, low KD, affordable CPC. Commercial property cluster sits here. Prioritise for first PPC campaigns.
⚠️ Niche But RealLow volume, active CPC bidding = genuine searchers. Problem-led and sitting tenant terms. High intent, low budget needed.
🚫 Expensive BattlefieldHigh KD + high CPC = generic buyer territory. £2,500/month budget runs dry fast here with no differentiation.

💡 New — Why Won't My House Sell

"Why wont my house sell" — 50 searches/month, £3.91 CPC. These are sellers already frustrated with the traditional route. Swift Capital is the answer. This is a PPC interception opportunity with high intent and low competition.

🏢 New — Sell Block of Flats Fast

"Sell block of flats fast" — 40/month, zero bidders, zero CPC. Direct Swift Capital niche. Nobody bidding — own it immediately via PPC and a single page.

🎯 Biggest Quick Win — Commercial

"Sell commercial property fast" — 590 searches/month, KD 7, £4.46 CPC. Most competitors don't buy commercial. Swift Capital does. This cluster should be campaign one.

🔥 Free Traffic — Fire Damaged

"Sell fire damaged house" — 90 monthly searches, zero CPC, no KD. Nobody bidding. Swift Capital can own this via PPC at minimal cost and via a single blog post for SEO.

⚡ Hidden Signal — CPC Without Volume

"Tenant refusing to leave" shows £1.65 CPC despite 0 recorded volume. SEMrush threshold masks low-frequency searches. Someone is bidding. Real intent exists — include in campaigns.

💡 Low Volume ≠ Low Value

Niche terms: 10–50 searches/month. But one deal from "sell property with sitting tenant" (£6.05 CPC) could be worth £50–100k+ to Swift Capital. Intent matters more than volume here.

🚫 Don't Chase "We Buy Any House"

6,600 searches looks appealing. But KD 31, £11.05 CPC, dominated by well-funded generic buyers. Swift Capital's budget runs out fast with no meaningful differentiation possible.

⚡ "Sell House Fast Cash" — Avoid Early

KD 48 and £15.18 CPC — the most competitive term in the dataset. Come back here once SEO builds domain authority and Quality Score lowers the effective cost per click.

193 Terms Tested — No Volume Returned

These terms were researched and explicitly tested in SEMrush. All returned zero monthly volume. They are documented here to show the breadth of ground covered and to confirm that these routes have been evaluated and set aside — not overlooked. Some carry CPC signals or strong SERP features despite zero recorded volume, which means real searchers exist below SEMrush's reporting threshold.

⚡ Zero Volume — But CPC / SERP Signal

These returned 0 recorded volume but show either active PPC bidding (CPC > £0) or Ads appearing in SERP features. Real searchers exist — they're simply below SEMrush's monthly count threshold. Worth adding as exact-match in early PPC campaigns at minimal cost.

The 193 zero-return terms are not failures — they confirm that the strategy is anchored in real data, not assumption.

Probate, inherited and bereavement property terms now confirmed: "sell inherited house fast" (20/mo), "probate property sale UK" (10/mo). Subsidence, structural problems, planning issues and flood damage also tested — below SEMrush reporting threshold. CPC signals will confirm real demand once campaigns are live.

"sell house with sitting tenant" → 50 vol · £4.60
"sell property with sitting tenant" → 10 vol · £6.05
"tenant refusing to leave property" → 0 vol · £1.65 CPC signal ⚡
"we buy tenanted properties" → 0 vol · £0
CPC signals at zero volume = real searches below SEMrush threshold. "Can't evict tenant", "section 21 failed" and frustration-stage queries all tested — confirm active demand in early PPC campaigns.
🏘️
Buy-to-Let / Portfolio Exit
Highest Deal Value
"sell investment property" → 70 vol · £2.98
"sell buy to let portfolio" → 40 vol · £3.89
"landlord selling up" → 30 vol · £2.11
"cash buyer buy to let" → 20 vol · £3.13
"landlord exit strategy" → 0 vol · £0
"landlord wants to sell property" → 20 vol · £5.23
"sell rental property fast" → 10 vol · £0
Lower volumes but portfolio deals = multiple properties per lead. One conversion here could be 5–10 properties. Tired landlord and inherited portfolio terms tested — low SEMrush volume but real audience.
🏪
Shops & Commercial ⭐
Biggest Immediate Opportunity
"sell commercial property fast" → 590 vol · KD 7 · £4.46 ✅
"sell commercial property quickly" → 90 vol · KD 13 · £4.46 ✅
"we buy commercial property" → 50 vol · £4.66
"cash buyer commercial property" → 0 vol · £0
"sell empty shop" → 0 vol · £0
680 combined monthly searches. KD 7–13. £4.46 CPC. Most competitors don't buy commercial. This is Swift Capital's clearest first campaign. Mixed-use and shop-with-flat terms tested and earmarked for ad group expansion.
⚡
Express Home Buyers
Most Volume / Most Competitive
"we buy any house" → 6,600 vol · KD 31 · £11.05 ⚠️
"quick house sale" → 1,000 vol · KD 40 · £12.56 ⚠️
"cash house buyer" → 320 vol · KD 29 · £10.74 ⚠️
"sell house without estate agent" → 170 vol · KD 20 · £3.35 ✅
"sell house fast cash" → 90 vol · KD 48 · £15.18 🚫
Volume is here but so is competition. "Sell house without estate agent" is the standout — KD 20, £3.35. Problem-led terms (urgent sale, divorce, repossession) tested — minimal SEMrush data but high real-world intent.
🌱
Land & Redevelopment
Lowest Competition
"quick land sale" → 30 vol · £0 CPC
"we buy land" → 20 vol · £1.86
"sell land for development" → 20 vol · £1.64
"sell land quickly" → 20 vol · £0
"sell brownfield land" → 0 vol · £0
Low volume, very low competition. Cheap to test in PPC. Development site and brownfield terms tested — below threshold but confirm real audience. Good earmark for long-tail SEO content once site has authority.
🏛️
Auction Alternative ⭐ New
Intercept the Auction Route
"property auctions UK" → 1,600 vol · KD 59 · £0.43 ⚠️ Hard organically
"sell property at auction" → 170 vol · KD 19 · £6.74 ✅ Viable PPC
"property auctioneers" → 390 vol · KD 60 · £0.42
"sell my property by auction" → KD 25 · Commercial intent
"alternative to property auction" → KD 16 · Commercial
The positioning: These searchers are considering the auction route — Swift Capital can intercept them. We Buy Now already bids on "property auctions" at position 1 with "No Auction, No Stress — Bypass Auction Chaos." Swift Capital should run a subset of auction-alternative ad groups targeting this intent before a competitor locks it down.
⚖️
Tenant & Landlord Issues ⭐ New
High Volume, Pain Language
"section 8 notice" → 5,400 vol · KD 20 · £1.15 ✅ Informational
"eviction notice" → 2,900 vol · KD 30 · £1.39
"rent arrears" → 2,400 vol · KD 31 · £2.04
"grounds for possession" → 590 vol · KD 15 · £0.32 ✅
"no fault evictions" → 590 vol · KD 29 · £0.45
SEO content opportunity, not PPC. These are landlords at crisis point — Renters Rights Act anxiety is driving significant search volume. A well-structured guide series ("What to do when Section 21 fails", "Section 8: A landlord's guide") puts Swift Capital in front of the right audience at the earliest stage of their journey. Informational intent with commercial follow-through.

The 'instant relief' emotional positioning mirrors Swift's potential tone. 4.9★ Google rating from a small reviewer base.

🔀 Hybrid Model Operators (2)

These operators offer both a direct cash purchase and an auction route — making them competitors on two fronts simultaneously. They aren't pure cash buyers or pure auction houses. Their dual-route model is worth understanding strategically: it shows that the market already recognises sellers want to weigh both options. Swift Capital's advantage is clarity — one route, guaranteed outcome, no auction uncertainty.

"Sell Your House Fast — Cash, Auction, or Estate Agency"

Three-route operator: Quick Cash Sale (7–28 days), Property Auction (2–3 weeks), and Traditional Estate Agency (2–3 months). Strong SEO footprint with 16,100 organic keywords. Known for ranking informational guides on problem property searches — exactly the content Swift Capital needs to build.

Dual-route operator: fast cash purchase or no-fee auction with reserve price. Explicitly claims their offer pays 10% more than competitors. Independent RICS surveyor valuation included. Covers England, Scotland and Wales. 436 organic keywords.

⭐ On-site testimonials only: No third-party platform

✓✓~✕✓✕
The cash/auction dual model is their headline differentiator — they present both routes to the same seller and let them choose. This is structurally similar to Swift Capital’s auction-alternative positioning, but in reverse: they’re using auction as an upsell, not as competition. Dated website design and no third-party reviews limit their credibility.

🏛️ Property Auctioneers — Context Competitors (8)

Swift Capital's strategic opportunity: intercepting sellers researching the auction route. We Buy Now already bids on "property auctions" at position 1 with £28.8K/month PPC spend and "Bypass Auction Chaos" messaging. See Strategy tab for the PPC subset plan.

Savills Auctions website screenshot
Savills Auctions
🏛️ AUCTION HOUSE National

One of the UK's most prestigious estate agencies with a major auction arm. Conducts high-value residential and commercial auctions. Strong brand authority and national reach.

Premium end of the auction market. Sellers choosing Savills are prioritising price and prestige over speed. Swift Capital's alternative pitch: avoid the 6–10% auction fees and uncertainty of the reserve not being met.
Strettons website screenshot
Strettons
🏛️ AUCTION HOUSE London & South East

Specialist London and South East auctioneer handling residential, commercial and mixed-use properties. Known for problem and unusual properties that are difficult to sell via estate agents.

Direct overlap with Swift Capital's problem property niche. Landlords with difficult tenanted properties may consider Strettons. Swift's counter: guaranteed purchase vs uncertain auction outcome.
Auction House UK website screenshot
Auction House UK
🏛️ AUCTION HOUSE National — regional network

Claims to be the UK's largest property auctioneer by lots sold. Regional network of offices. Sells residential, commercial, land and investment properties. High throughput model.

Volume player — exactly the type of auctioneer We Buy Now's ads directly target ("Better Than Auction, Sell In Days"). Swift Capital should adopt similar positioning: faster, certain, same reserve-price outcome.
Clive Emson Auctions website screenshot
Clive Emson Auctions
🏛️ AUCTION HOUSE South East England

Long-established regional auctioneer specialising in South East England. Covers residential, commercial, land and development sites. Six auction events per year.

Regional presence in a high-value market. Sellers considering Clive Emson have already accepted a below-market-value outcome. Swift Capital can intercept at the consideration stage.
Barnard Marcus Auctions website screenshot
Barnard Marcus Auctions
🏛️ AUCTION HOUSE London & South East

Part of the Sequence/LSL Property Services group. Established London auction house covering residential and investment property. National reach via network connections.

Corporate-backed auctioneer — slower, more process-heavy. Swift Capital can compete on speed and relationship quality for sellers who want certainty over the auction gamble.

Pugh Auctions
🏛️ AUCTION HOUSE North West & Wales

Regional specialist in the North West and Wales. Strong commercial and mixed-use portfolio. Conducts regular scheduled auction events. Known for problem and distressed properties.

Geographic relevance for any Swift Capital leads in the North West. Problem property sellers in this region may consider Pugh as an alternative route. Swift's differentiation: speed and certainty.
Bond Wolfe Auctions website screenshot
Bond Wolfe Auctions
🏛️ AUCTION HOUSE Midlands & South West

One of the UK's leading regional auctioneers. Strong in the Midlands and South West. Regular large auction events with high lot volumes. Handles residential, commercial and development.

Active digital marketing presence. Their auction format attracts sellers who have been told their property is "difficult to sell" — exactly Swift Capital's target audience.
Countrywide Property Auctions website screenshot
Countrywide Property Auctions
🏛️ AUCTION HOUSE National

Part of the Connells/Countrywide group — the UK's largest estate agency network. National auction capability backed by one of the biggest property brands in the country.

The largest brand in this auction set. Their national estate agency network means they can refer sellers internally to their auction arm. Swift Capital competes on speed and no auction risk.

🛒 Property Marketplaces (1)

Platforms where landlords list properties for investors to buy — different from direct cash buyers. They compete on price. Swift Capital competes on certainty and speed. Any landlord actively listing here has already decided to sell — potential lead source.

Let Property website screenshot
Let Property
🏛️ AUCTION HOUSE UK — Online Marketplace

The UK's leading investment property marketplace. Lists tenanted and yield-bearing properties for sale to investors. 50,000+ investors on platform. Claims 80% of all UK tenanted property sales in 2024. App-first. Live listings show price, yield % and monthly income. NAPB + Property Ombudsman member.

Not a direct cash buyer — operates as a marketplace where landlords list and investors bid. Let Property maximises price through competition; Swift Capital offers certainty and speed. Any landlord actively listing here has already decided to sell and is a potential Swift Capital lead. Worth monitoring as audience source.

⚠️ Inactive / Under Review (2)

Entries where the domain or platform could not be confirmed as actively trading at time of research. Retained for monitoring purposes — particularly webuyanyhomes.co.uk which carries significant SEO value in its domain name and could become a serious competitor if acquired.

🔴 Run 1 — 180 Missing Keywords (Content & SEO Roadmap)

These are the organic rankings Swift Capital doesn't have yet that all four major competitors do. Most are fast-sale or general selling terms — high volume, high competition. The right response is SEO content, not PPC. The standout exception is "sell house with tenants" (KD 3) — an immediate target.

Even We Buy Now (only 34 organic keywords) ranks for these. Swift Capital's homepage and key product pages should use this language to pick up these rankings over time. These are not PPC priorities — too generic and competitive.

Swift Capital already ranks for every keyword that Let Property, National Homebuyers, Home House Buyers and Quick Move Now all share. This means Swift's current organic footprint is already at parity with or ahead of this tier. The competitive challenge is the gap to Property Solvers (16.1K keywords), Good Move (4.8K), and We Buy Any Home (4.4K) — not these four. This is an important reassurance for Steven: Swift Capital is not at the back of the pack — the real gap is at the top.

What this means in plain English: Swift Capital currently ranks for 48 organic keywords — enough to be on par with the secondary competitor tier. The 180-term gap against the top 4 is the SEO content roadmap for the next 12 months. The two most actionable quick wins: "sell house with tenants" (KD 3) — Swift Capital's core niche, an easy page-1 target; and "selling a house costs to seller" / "solicitors fees for selling a house" — these searchers are researching what a traditional sale costs. Swift Capital's answer (no agent fees, no solicitor fees) is the perfect intercept. PPC fills the immediate gap. SEO closes it over 6–12 months.
Competitive Position Tracking — Search Landscape
SEMrush position tracking data across all 93 Swift Capital keywords (April 2026). Each domain appearing in Swift Capital's keyword results is plotted by keyword matches vs visibility score. Gold = named competitors. Red = other cash buyers. Blue = authority/informational. Orange = auction. Grey = social/UGC.
Named Competitor
Cash Buyer
Authority / Info
Auction
Social / UGC
🔴 High Visibility, High MatchesReddit and hoa.org.uk dominate — informational content owns Swift's keyword space. This is a content gap, not a cash-buyer threat. SEO should address directly.
🟡 Named CompetitorsProperty Solvers (45 matches, vis 9.3) and Open Property Group (44 matches, vis 5.1) are the primary cash-buyer threats in Swift's keyword set. Monitor weekly.
🟢 Lower Visibility = OpportunityMany cash buyers have high match counts but low visibility — meaning they rank but not prominently. Swift can enter and outrank them with focused optimisation.

The Core Strategic Insight

Most competitors fight over the same solution-led terms: "sell house fast", "cash buyer", "we buy any house". These cost £10–15 per click and attract everyone from investors to casual browsers. Swift Capital has 30 years and 3,100+ transactions in the complex, niche, nobody-else-will-touch-it corner of property. The landlord with a failed Section 21. The owner of a flood-damaged commercial unit. The family with an inherited tenanted property they can't sell. These people search in pain language — and that's where competition thins out, the CPC drops, and Swift Capital's expertise becomes the only credible answer in the room. That's the moat. That's where we go first.

Phase 1 — Months 1–3 · PPC

Test & Learn on Niche First

1

Launch commercial property campaign first
The data says it clearly: 680 searches/month, KD 7, £4.46 CPC. Most competitors don't buy commercial. Swift Capital does. This is campaign one.

2

Sitting tenant + problem property campaigns
Lower volume but real CPC signals = real searchers. 6 campaigns = 6 clusters, each pointing to its own landing page. Problem-led ad copy aligned to each.

3

Aggressive negative keywords from day one
This space attracts buyers looking to purchase, not sellers. Investors, developers, landlord letting searches. Negative list is as important as the keyword list.

4

Test "sell fire damaged house" immediately
90 searches, zero bidders. Set as exact match. CPCs will be near-zero — pure data collection at almost no cost.

🏛️ Auction Alternative — PPC Subset Strategy

A significant proportion of sellers researching "property auctions" and "sell at auction" are not committed to that route — they are evaluating options. We Buy Now already bids on "property auctions" at position 1 with £28.8K/month in PPC spend and the message "Bypass Auction Chaos." Swift Capital should build a small subset of auction-alternative ad groups before this positioning becomes saturated.

AD GROUP TARGETS
"sell property at auction" — KD 19 · £6.74
"sell my property by auction" — KD 25
"alternative to property auction" — KD 16
"sell problem property at auction" — KD 12
"sell tenanted property at auction" — KD 9
AD MESSAGING FRAMEWORK
Headline 1: "Skip the Auction Risk"
Headline 2: "We'll Match Your Reserve Price"
Headline 3: "Guaranteed Sale in 7–28 Days"
Description: "Swift Capital buys at the auctioneer's suggested reserve — without the uncertainty, the fees, or the 10-week wait."

Note: "Property auctions UK" (KD 59) and "property auctioneers" (KD 60) are too competitive for Swift Capital's budget at this stage. Focus on the specific selling-intent terms above. Auction strategy should run as a separate campaign from the core 6 clusters.

Re-audited on 7 October 2026, four weeks after the new website went live. Compared with the April 2026 audit of the old WordPress site. Sources: GTmetrix, Semrush Site Audit and Google PageSpeed Insights.

The new site loads in 0.7 seconds. The old one took 4.0.

GTmetrix, 23 April vs 7 October 2026. April was tested from Seattle and October from London, which flatters the server-response figure. Every other measure is a like-for-like page load, and the old page was a light holding page at the time, not the full site.

Phones and tablets

Built for the screens Swift's visitors actually use

About 7 in 10 visitors are on a phone or tablet (Clarity, 4–7 Oct: 55 of 79 sessions). The old site was slower again on phones, because it made the phone's processor run five times as much code. The new site was designed for phones and tablets from the start, and Steven reviewed the tablet layout before launch.

  • Right-sized photos. Phones, tablets and desktops each get their own crop of the hero image, so a phone never downloads a desktop-sized picture.
  • 80% less code to run. This matters most on phones, which have slower processors than laptops.
  • Large, readable text. Body text is 18–19px with very high contrast, set for an audience mostly aged 65–80.
  • Big tap targets. Buttons are at least 56px tall, so a call or enquiry tap lands first time.
  • Nothing jumps while loading. Layout shift is zero, so nobody taps the wrong thing because the page moved.
  • Tablet layout reworked in Steven's final review round before launch.
  • Always styled. The old site sometimes showed logged-out visitors a broken, unstyled page after a cache clear. That failure can't happen on the new build.

See how phone and tablet visitors actually use the homepage on the Heatmaps tab.

PageSpeed Insights, 7 Oct 2026. There is no April mobile score for the old site, so this is a new baseline rather than a comparison.

Site health: April vs October

Semrush Site Audit (mobile crawler). Health is flat because the new site has far fewer pages, so one small error weighs more. Warnings fell from 52 to 6, and every code-compression and file-size warning has gone.

Core Web Vitals (Semrush)0%0%no data

* The one error is the old WordPress /privacy-policy address. Old URLs were deliberately not redirected at launch, so this is expected and can be ignored.

Core Web Vitals shows 0% in Semrush because it needs real-visitor data from Chrome, and the site doesn't yet have enough traffic for Google to publish any. It's "no data", not a fail. The lab tests above pass on every measure.

What to fix next

In priority order. The first one explains most of the remaining Semrush warnings.

High
Let search and AI tools read the page without running code. The new site builds its content in the browser, so the raw page is close to empty: 10 words and no main heading. Google runs the code and sees everything. Semrush, and most AI assistants such as ChatGPT and Perplexity, don't. This one cause is behind "missing H1", "low word count" and "low text-to-HTML" (2 pages each) and the dip in AI search health. Fix: pre-render the homepage to plain HTML at build time. Same design, no visible change.
Medium
Business listings show the wrong address. Semrush's local check finds Swift listed at Connaught House, 1 Mount Street, rates online presence "Poor" and flags 26 listings to fix. Ties into the Google Business Profile fix already in ClickUp.
Medium
Backlink toxicity is high. 84 of 186 referring domains are rated toxic. These are old links pointing at the domain, not caused by the rebuild. Fix: review and disavow the worst ones.
Low
Add an llms.txt file, a short plain-text summary that AI assistants look for. Semrush notice, 10-minute job.
Low
Image sizes and accessibility polish. Six images lack fixed dimensions (GTmetrix). PageSpeed flags links that rely on colour alone and a few tap targets that sit too close together. Accessibility is 94 and these take it to 100.

🔎 Search visibility today

✅ What's working

  • HTTPS everywhere, with no mixed content or certificate issues
  • All code compressed, minified and cached. 46 files were uncompressed in April
  • Sitemap and robots.txt valid and linked
  • Every page has a title, description and canonical tag
  • Business details marked up for Google (LocalBusiness schema)
  • Share cards set for LinkedIn, Facebook and X
  • No broken internal links or images
  • ChatGPT, Google and other AI crawlers are all allowed in

Full exports: Technical Audit / October 2026 and / April 2026 in the Swift Capital folder. GTmetrix: 23 Apr (Seattle, Lighthouse 12.6) vs 7 Oct (London, Lighthouse 12.6). Semrush Site Audit: 21 Apr vs 7 Oct, mobile crawler, JavaScript rendering off. PageSpeed Insights: 7 Oct.

🗄️ Legacy: WordPress & Brand Nursery

Retired · tidy-up
Status
The WordPress site stopped serving swiftcapital.co.uk on 10 Sep 2026. Its hosting was arranged through Sol6 with a third party.
Still to confirm
That the old hosting is cancelled and the WordPress install is offline. It still carries admin logins for Brand Nursery (Adele Roebuck) and Sadrobot (Robert Iveson).
Brand Nursery
No longer part of delivery. James Acton designed the original site, so the design IP position still needs confirming.

Generative Engine Optimisation starts with access: AI assistants can only recommend Swift Capital if their crawlers can reach the site. This page confirms that access. It doesn't track prompts or AI visibility, which comes later.

Crawler access, assistant by assistant

Two independent confirmations. Semrush checks the crawlers it reports on. CMG checked the live site directly on 7 Oct: robots.txt allows every crawler (User-agent: * · Allow: /), and a request using each crawler's own identity got the page back (HTTP 200).

"–" means Semrush doesn't report that crawler in its summary. CMG's direct check covers it instead.

⚠️ Allowed in isn't the same as readable

Most AI crawlers read a page's raw HTML without running its code. The new site builds its content in the browser, so the raw page they receive is close to empty: about 10 words and no main heading. Google runs the code and sees the full page. ChatGPT, Perplexity and Claude's crawlers mostly don't, so they can reach the site but learn very little from it.

This is the main reason AI Search Health dropped from 95% to 89%. The fix is to pre-render the homepage to plain HTML at build time. The design doesn't change, and it's first on the website fix list (see Technical Audit).

Semrush AI search issues

2 issues
  • llms.txt not found. A short plain-text summary of the business that AI assistants look for. About 10 minutes to add.
  • A page with only one internal link pointing to it. Low priority on a site this small.

Not on this page yet

Later
  • Prompt tracking: whether assistants mention Swift Capital when asked about selling a property
  • AI visibility and citation counts
  • Keyword position tracking

These come once the pre-rendering fix is live. Measuring visibility before the crawlers can read the page would mostly measure that problem.

GA4 property G-G0FV6ZF5DK (533043840), read live through the Google Analytics Data API and cached for 10 minutes. Days are complete up to yesterday. Form submissions in the conversion rate are GA4's own count, which runs a little lower than the form itself (ad blockers stop GA4 entirely), so use the Website Enquiries tab for the true enquiry total. The traffic breakdown uses GA4's session medium (organic, cpc, referral and so on). The print medium is split by source, so each publication's QR code shows separately (for example dailymail / print), and every print source is always shown. "Other" combines direct visits (medium "(none)"), visits with no medium recorded ("(not set)", mostly visitors who refused cookies, whose source GA4 can't see) and any small mediums beyond the top 8. Visitors who refuse cookies are counted by GA4's consent modelling, so small numbers can shift slightly after the fact. GA4 reports UK regions only as England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, not counties, so cities are the finest level available.
