SEO, month by month
Good rankings come from steady work rather than a single fix. My monthly SEO covers rankings checks, technical fixes, better page content, Google Business Profile updates and a blog post, or whatever we agree suits your business.
You can have SEO with or without a new website. On its own it is a monthly fee quoted for you, you can stop at any time, and you only pay for work I have done.
Gillingham, Rainham and the rest of Medway
Customers here search by the part of town they live in. A business on Gillingham High Street, a trader near The Strand and one close to Hempstead Valley Shopping Centre or out in Rainham can all show up for different searches, and a site that names the places you cover gives Google a clearer picture.
A website that earns the click
Ranking only helps if the page is worth landing on. If yours needs work, I design and build sites myself, usually in 1 to 2 weeks. I am based in Ashford and travel to meet clients across Medway.
Getting to you
26.7 miles by road from my base at Sandyhurst Lane, Ashford TN25 4NX: about 40 minutes’ drive without traffic.
Gillingham takes me about forty minutes, into the heart of Medway. I am glad to meet at your unit, shop or office, whether that is near The Strand, on the High Street or out towards Rainham.
What people in Gillingham search for
Real searches naming Gillingham that showed this site in Google in the three months before 13 October 2026, from Google Search Console, with how often each was shown:
- “local seo gillingham” 157 times
- “search engine optimisation in gillingham” 126 times
- “best local seo companies in gillingham” 80 times
- “seo in gillingham” 60 times
- “basic seo in gillingham” 31 times
Plenty of these ask for the "best" company or the "top 5", which tells me people here are comparing before they choose. I would rather you compared properly: my SEO page shows real Search Console results for sites I built, so you can judge the work rather than the claim.
The local business picture
Medway had 9,345 businesses at the March 2026 count, and 8,480 of them (91%) were micro businesses with fewer than 10 employees.
Medway is the largest of these districts by business count, taking in Chatham, Rochester and Strood alongside Gillingham and Rainham. More firms means more competition for the same searches, which is where steady, month by month SEO earns its keep.

Local search checklist for a Gillingham business
- Say which Medway towns you cover on your site and profile; Gillingham, Rainham and Chatham searches are not interchangeable.
- Fix the basics first: a page title and description for every page, a fast mobile layout, and working contact details.
- Collect reviews steadily rather than in a rush; a regular trickle looks more trustworthy than a sudden burst.
- Medway Council’s business section covers rates, licensing, funding and support for Medway firms. Medway Council: business.
Questions from Gillingham businesses
Which part of Medway do you cover?
All of it. This page is for Gillingham and Rainham, but I work with businesses across Medway, and I travel to meet them.
What does monthly SEO include?
Rankings checked in SE Ranking, technical fixes, page content improvements, Google Business Profile updates and a blog post, or whatever we agree suits you.
Can you show real results?
Yes. My SEO page shows graphs from Google Search Console for sites I built, shown with the clients’ permission.
Do I need a new website before you start?
