Home / Areas we cover / Northumberland
England’s most sparsely populated county, which changes the maths entirely. Fewer competitors, far bigger distances, patchy mobile signal and an economy that leans heavily on visitors for half the year.
Good sites rank faster across the county.
Clear service areas so customers know you cover them.
Light pages that load on a weak connection.
Pages that catch tourists planning a trip.
Northumberland is really two counties. The south east corner is dense, industrial and close to Tyneside. Everything north and west of it is rural, dispersed and shaped by tourism and agriculture.
The industrial south east, with pharmaceutical and manufacturing employers and a population density closer to Tyneside than to the rest of the county.
Affluent market towns with strong independent retail, professional services and customers who research thoroughly before buying.
Tourism, agriculture and independents, serving both a local catchment and visitors heading for Hadrian’s Wall.
Castle, gardens, harbour villages and holiday lets. Businesses here are found almost entirely by people who are not from the area.
Closer to Edinburgh than Newcastle, with a catchment that crosses the border and search behaviour to match.
Rural businesses covering enormous distances, where the website has to make the service area unmistakable.
Our free health check shows how visible you are across the towns and villages you cover.
You get the quick wins first.
Northumberland businesses usually ring us for one of two reasons: the season is coming and the site is not ready, or they have realised how much work is going to a competitor two towns away.
In a county this size that is the first question every visitor has. Sites that do not answer it get enquiries from ninety miles away and miss the ones nearby.
What loads instantly on fibre can be unusable in the Cheviots or on the coast road. Heavy sites lose rural customers outright.
Tourists search cold with no idea who you are. Without a complete Google profile with recent photos, you are invisible to them.
Morpeth, Hexham, Alnwick and Berwick have almost no overlap. A single Northumberland page ranks in none of them.
Local knowledge is not a line on a web page. It changes what goes on the site.
Our Cramlington page covers web design and SEO for the business parks, the new estates and the towns nearby.
Four steps, run on video calls and a shared link, because driving to Berwick and back costs you money that is better spent on the site.
Thirty minutes on your business, your season and exactly how far you are willing to travel for work. Video call unless you are passing Newcastle.
A written proposal with the page list, which market towns are worth their own page, the timeline and a fixed price.
Built on a private staging link and tested on a throttled connection, because a site that only works on fibre is no use here.
Go live ahead of your season, then a care plan so the content stays current while you are busy.

Each area has a page of its own, written for that area rather than duplicated.
Three builds for businesses covering a wide rural patch, where being found matters more than footfall.
Training dates and venues made easy to scan for people travelling to them.
A site that works as a calling card, a shop window and a booking page at once.
A small studio punching above its weight on local searches.
Rural and tourism builds start with one of the options below. Holiday lets and attractions often need booking integration, which adds to it.
A fast, mobile first site with the pages you need, hosting and emails set up. A monthly plan that spreads the cost across the year.
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.

For an initial meeting, usually yes. After that most work runs on calls and a shared staging link, which is how we work with clients across the UK and keeps your costs down.
The whole county. Most of our Northumberland clients are in the south east, in Cramlington, Blyth, Ashington, Bedlington and Morpeth, but we also work with businesses in Ponteland, Hexham, Prudhoe and Corbridge, and up the coast to Alnwick, Amble and Berwick-upon-Tweed.
Generally yes, because there are fewer competitors doing the work. The trade off is a much larger area to cover and smaller search volumes per town.
Enormously. We build light as standard, but in rural Northumberland it is the difference between a page that loads and one that does not. Heavy template sites fail badly here.
Your Google Business Profile, recent photographs and reviews, then a fast site with booking that works on a phone. Visitors decide in minutes and rarely scroll.
Usually four to six: the towns you actually get work from. Writing twelve thin ones would be worse than writing five good ones.
Worth considering. Berwick’s natural catchment crosses the border, and almost no local competitor optimises for it, which makes it unusually winnable.
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.
