Canterbury Local Business SEO Pages
Canterbury Cathedral, founded by St Augustine in 597 AD, became the third most important Christian pilgrimage site in the world after the murder of Archbishop Thomas Becket in 1170, with pilgrims flocking to his shrine for over three hundred years and buying pilgrim badges as a medieval souvenir. The cobbled streets around the cathedral, including the Buttermarket, are still full of independent shops today, from Chaucer Bookshop to Canterbury Pottery.
Canterbury's Business Improvement District has been renewed by ballot three times (2014, 2019 and 2024) and now collects around £490,000 a year in levy from more than 650 businesses within the city walls. ONS recorded 5,835 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses in the area.
Gross disposable household income per head in Canterbury was £24,464 in 2024 (ONS). That's the kind of local economy seo pages is designed to work in.
About SEO Pages
Most business websites have a page or two per service and hope for the best. SEO Pages fills the gaps: we create useful pages for each of your products and services in each of the areas you genuinely serve, then publish them on your own website and put them in front of Google and Bing.
How it works, start to finish
Step 1: Agree the pages
We map your services and operating areas, then agree the page plan with you before a single word is written.
Step 2: We write the pages
Each page is written to be genuinely useful: what the service involves, the areas covered, and the answers real customers want.
Step 3: You approve
Nothing goes live until you have read it and are happy with it.
Step 4: We publish
Approved pages are added to your website and linked from the relevant places, so visitors and search engines can find them.
Step 5: We submit
We update your sitemap and submit it through Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools where applicable. No automated shortcuts.
