Local SEO for Medway

Medway is one of the largest urban areas in the South East, with a population of over 280,000 across its five towns. This creates a unique local search dynamic — customers might search for "Rochester", "Chatham", "Gillingham", "Medway", or even specific areas like "Strood" or "Rainham".

For businesses in Medway, this means there are multiple location keywords to target, and your competitors might be ranking for some but not all of them. A smart local SEO strategy ensures you're visible regardless of which town name a potential customer searches.

With Rochester's historic tourism draw, the Universities at Medway campus, the Dockyard regeneration in Chatham, and the commercial activity across the area — there's significant search demand to capture.

Why Medway Businesses Need Local SEO

Medway's multi-town structure means search behaviour is more complex than in a single town. A customer in Rainham might search for "Gillingham" services because it's nearby, while someone in Strood might search "Rochester" or "Medway". If you're only optimised for one town name, you're missing customers in the others.

The area also has a large commuter population who work in London but live in Medway. These residents search for local services in the evenings and weekends, often using their phones. A strong local SEO presence — particularly on Google Maps — means you're there when they're ready to buy, book, or call.
