Web design & Google Ads in Gravesend

Also covering Northfleet, Meopham, Higham, Shorne and Istead Rise

This is where we are based, so Gravesend is the town we know best. We have watched the high street change for eighteen years, and we have built sites for a fair number of the businesses on it.

We work with trades, salons, garages, shops and professional services across Gravesend, Northfleet, Meopham, Higham, Shorne and Istead Rise. Most of the work starts the same way: the business is doing well on word of mouth and wants something more predictable. That usually means a site that actually explains what you do, a Google listing that is complete and used, and enough tracking to see which of the two is bringing the calls.

Being local means we can sit down with you rather than doing everything over email. It also means we know which nearby towns are worth a page and which are not — there is no point writing about an area you would never travel to.

In plain words

What we do for businesses in Gravesend

A new website that brings calls

A site that says what you do, loads fast on a phone and makes it easy to ring you. Built to be found on Google from the day it goes live, and easy for you to update yourself.

How this works ↗

Your website, rebuilt — without losing what's ranking

If Google already sends you work, we protect that first. We check what is ranking, keep those pages and addresses, then rebuild on a faster base. Redirects and tracking are checked before we switch over, not after.

How this works ↗

Google Ads that pay for themselves — you see the cost per call

Call and form tracking is set up first, so every pound is traced to a real enquiry. Then you get a monthly number: what each call cost. From about £5 a day. You pay Google directly and keep the card.

How this works ↗

Get found on Google Maps and page one in your town

Your Google listing set up properly, your details made consistent everywhere they appear, and a page for each town you cover. One Kent locksmith reached the top three on Maps within three months.

How this works ↗

Customers now ask ChatGPT — make sure it names you

People ask an assistant who to use before they search. We make your business easy for those systems to identify and quote, and we measure whether naming actually goes up.

FAQ

Questions from Gravesend businesses

Can we meet in person?

Yes. We are based in Gravesend, so an hour in your unit or shop is usually easier than three email exchanges.

Do you work with very small businesses?

Yes — a lot of our work is one-van trades and single-site shops. The care plans start small so the site does not decay once it is built.

How long does a new site take?

Six to ten weeks from a signed proposal. The slowest part is usually content, so we start that first and work around how busy you are.
