Home / Areas we cover / South Shields
South Shields is a working town and a seaside destination at the same time, and the gap between a quiet Tuesday in February and a hot Saturday in July is enormous. The sites that do well here are built for both.
Sites that serve locals and visitors alike.
Easy to update between quiet and busy months.
Pages built around local searches.
Our office is a ferry ride away in North Shields.
South Tyneside is a cluster of towns rather than one, and each has a different customer. What works on Ocean Road would be wasted in Hebburn, and the other way round.
Restaurants, takeaways and seafront hospitality, searched by street name rather than by town. One of the few places where the road itself is the keyword.
Retail, services and professional businesses serving residents rather than visitors, with a completely different seasonal pattern to the seafront.
Sandhaven, Littlehaven and the route out towards Souter and Marsden. Visitor businesses here are found on a phone, outdoors, by people who are already nearby.
Trades, industry and service businesses with their own strong local identity and their own search behaviour. Neither is covered by a South Shields page.
More affluent residential areas where home improvement, clinics and professional services do well, and where customers research carefully before ringing.
Engineering and marine related businesses with a long history here, usually selling nationally rather than locally.
Our free health check shows how your site works for South Shields searches, from the town centre to the seafront.
Done by hand, in plain English.
South Shields enquiries nearly always arrive in spring, when somebody realises the season is about to start and the website is not ready for it.
Visitors on the beach are searching on a phone with poor patience and no local knowledge. Thin Google profiles lose that business to whoever has photos and recent reviews.
They are separate towns with separate searches. A South Shields page does not rank in either, however close they are on a map.
Businesses that only build for peak season have a website that is irrelevant for eight months. The site should work for locals too.
On a phone, outdoors, in the sun, a PDF is unusable. It is also invisible to search. This is still the single most common fault we fix here.
Local knowledge is not a line on a web page. It changes what goes on the site.
Websites and local SEO for trades, shops and clinics right across Tyneside.
Four steps, and for seasonal businesses we work backwards from when you need it live rather than forwards from today.
Thirty minutes on your business, your season and who you need to reach: residents, visitors or both. We can come over on the ferry.
A written proposal with the page list, the timeline and a fixed price, planned around your season rather than our schedule.
Built on a private staging link, tested hard on a phone outdoors, because that is where your customers will actually use it.
Go live before the season rather than during it, then a care plan so the content stays current through the summer.
Tell us what you are planning.
We will come back within one working day with honest advice and a fixed price.
Where we are working and the postcodes we cover most often around South Shields.
NE33, NE34, NE31 to NE36
The town centre and King Street, the seafront and Sandhaven, Westoe, Harton, Horsley Hill, Marsden, Cleadon Park, Simonside, Biddick Hall, Whiteleas and Tyne Dock.
All within the South Tyneside Council area, and an easy ride on the Tyne and Wear Metro from the rest of Tyneside.
Suite 2.6a, North Tyneside Business Centre
54a Saville Street, North Shields, NE30 1NT
Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm. Happy to come to you. Find us on Google Maps
Each area has a page of its own, written for that area rather than duplicated.
Three sites for independents and trades working the South Tyneside coast.
A deli site built to be read on a phone, by someone deciding where to eat in the next hour.
An electrical contractor positioned for commercial contracts as well as call outs.
Treatments, prices and booking in one place, so the salon spends less time on the phone.
Seafront and hospitality builds usually need booking or ordering integrated, which takes more work than a standard brochure site.
A fast, mobile first site with the pages you need, hosting and emails set up. Spread monthly, so your budget stays free for the busy months.
The build and the monthly local SEO together. The site makes you credible, the SEO gets you found. On a 12 month minimum term.
Hosting, security, daily backups, updates and your content changes handled for you.

Yes, several of our clients make most of their year in a few months. Those sites are built to publish seasonal content, handle a traffic surge and make booking take seconds.
All of NE33 and NE34. That takes in the town centre and King Street, the seafront and Sandhaven, Westoe, Harton, Horsley Hill and Marsden, and inland to Cleadon Park, Simonside, Biddick Hall and Tyne Dock. We are just across the river in North Shields.
No, and this is the most common fix we make here. PDFs are hard to read on a phone and invisible to search. A proper menu page can rank for dish searches on its own.
If you want work from them, yes. They are distinct towns with their own search volume, and a South Shields page will not rank in either.
Yes, we are a seven minute ferry or twenty minutes round the tunnel. Happy to meet in person for the first conversation.
Mostly through your Google Business Profile rather than the website. Recent photos, correct hours, replies to reviews and accurate location data do the heavy lifting with visitors.
For a seafront business, yes, but it does not have to be that stark. Content aimed at locals, functions and off season offers can soften the dip considerably.
Tell us what you are planning and we will come back within one working day with honest advice and a guide price. No tech speak, no sales pitch.
Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm. Based at North Tyneside Business Centre, North Shields.
