Web design & Google Ads in Medway

Also covering Chatham, Gillingham, Rochester, Strood and Rainham

Medway is five towns that behave like one market, and that matters for how you get found. Someone in Rainham searching for a plumber sees results from Chatham and Gillingham too, so a single page saying "Medway" rarely does the job on its own.

We work with trades, garages, dental and cosmetic clinics, and independent shops across Chatham, Gillingham, Rochester, Strood and Rainham. The pattern is usually the same: a site that was built years ago, looks dated on a phone, and has no way of telling you which enquiries came from where. We rebuild it so it loads quickly, set up the Google listing properly, and put call and form tracking in so you can see what is actually bringing work.

If you are competing against the national comparison sites, local is where you win. The map pack sits above them, and it is cheaper ground to hold than the ordinary results underneath.

In plain words

What we do for businesses in Medway

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 Medway businesses

Do you cover all five Medway towns?

Yes — Chatham, Gillingham, Rochester, Strood and Rainham. We are twenty minutes up the road in Gravesend, so meeting in person is straightforward when it helps.

We already have a website. Is it worth rebuilding?

Not always. If it ranks and brings enquiries, we would rather fix its speed and tracking than start again. We will tell you which is the better spend after looking.

How quickly can we be on Google Maps?

Usually six to twelve weeks for a competitive local search, assuming the listing is verified and the details are consistent everywhere.
