Gateshead shares a river, a skyline and a lot of its searches with Newcastle. Our SEO Gateshead work makes sure you are found for both, honestly, without pretending to be somewhere you are not.
Gateshead and Newcastle searches, done honestly.
Profile set up around where you really are.
Content written for Gateshead customers.
Monthly updates in plain English.
The biggest SEO issue for most Gateshead businesses is not a competitor down the road. It is the city on the other side of the Tyne. It shapes every SEO Gateshead plan we write.
Plenty of searchers in Gateshead itself type Newcastle out of habit. If you only show up for Gateshead, you miss a large share of the people who are already close enough to use you.
A Gateshead address on your Google profile is a real advantage for Gateshead searches. For Newcastle searches you are competing on relevance and reputation instead, so the pages and reviews have to work harder. Google's own local ranking guidance sets out how distance and prominence work together.
Many directories and data providers list Gateshead businesses as Newcastle. Mixed town names across the web confuse Google about where you are, and it is one of the first things we tidy up.
Businesses around the Quays, Bensham and Felling serve both sides of the river every day. Your pages should say so plainly, with the areas and postcodes you cover on each bank.
The free SEO health check shows how you appear for Gateshead and Newcastle searches, and what would move you up.
Gateshead is not one market. The way people search on Team Valley has very little in common with a Saturday search in Low Fell. This is where most SEO Gateshead work starts.
The order matters. Fixing the basics first means everything that follows works harder. Every SEO Gateshead client gets the same clear stages.
One consistent name, address and phone number everywhere, with Gateshead as your town, and the Google profile categories and service area set correctly.
Service pages first, then area pages for the parts of Gateshead and Newcastle you really serve, each one written for that area.
A simple routine for asking every customer, with a nudge to mention the job and the area, which helps both rankings and trust.
We track your map positions from points on both sides of the river, so you can see the Newcastle searches moving as well as the Gateshead ones.
Whether you are on Team Valley or in Low Fell, a short call is the quickest way to find out what is worth doing first.
SEO Gateshead plans are shaped around your business, but these are the parts most Gateshead clients need.
Posts, photos, services and questions kept current. See our Google Business Profile service.
Titles, headings, internal links and schema across the site, so each page has one clear job.
Area and service pages added over time, rather than all at once and all the same.
Directory listings corrected and local links from Gateshead suppliers, clubs and organisations.
Speed, mobile usability and indexing checked, with problems fixed before they cost you rankings.
Calls, direction requests, enquiries and map positions, explained in plain English once a month.
Every SEO plan is monthly, with a clear scope and a month of notice.

Most Gateshead businesses need the local plan. If you want to be found properly across Newcastle as well, the multi area plan covers both sides of the river. Every SEO Gateshead plan includes the monthly report and a named person to call.
One town or city. Google Business Profile work, location pages, reviews, on page SEO and a monthly report.
Several towns or a wider patch. More location pages, more content and more ground covered each month.
A new website and the monthly local SEO together, for when the current site is holding the SEO back.
All monthly, with a clear scope and a month of notice. Full details on the pricing page, or start with the free SEO health check.
If you serve customers in Newcastle, yes. You do it with pages that explain the work you do there and reviews from customers there, not by hiding where you are based. Gateshead stays the foundation.
Only if you genuinely operate from it. Virtual offices and borrowed addresses break Google's rules and can get a profile suspended, which is far worse than ranking a little lower for Newcastle.
Yes, just with a different emphasis. Business buyers search by product and service as well as location, so clear service pages and a well set up profile matter more than reviews alone.
Gateshead searches are less crowded than the city, so most clients see map positions improve within three months, with steadier gains after that. Newcastle terms take longer.
Not usually, but we are happy to. A visit is useful for photos and for understanding how customers find you on the ground.
Yes. We start with a health check so we both know what we are working with, and we will tell you honestly if the site is holding the SEO back.
Tell us where you want to be found and we will come back within one working day with honest advice on what it will take. No tech speak, no sales pitch.
Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm. Based at North Tyneside Business Centre, North Shields.
