Around Canvey Island.
Canvey Island sits below sea level in the Thames estuary, protected by a long sea wall, and is known for its Dutch settler history, its seafront and the oil and gas terminals on its western side. It is a close-knit community with a strong sense of identity and many bungalows and chalet homes. Only a couple of roads lead onto the island, so residents prefer firms based locally who do not get caught in traffic. A website should name Canvey areas such as Leigh Beck and Thorney Bay and show a local phone number.
Elsewhere in Essex: Rayleigh (4 miles), Rochford (6 miles), Basildon (7 miles) and South Woodham Ferrers (9 miles). Just over the council boundary, Southend-on-Sea (5 miles), Corringham (6 miles), Chatham (10 miles) and Rochester (10 miles) are close by. A list of the places you really serve is more useful to a customer than “and surrounding areas”.
Inside Canvey Island, the site can name areas such as Leigh Beck, Thorney Bay, Winter Gardens, South Benfleet and Thundersley.
Canvey Island addresses fall in the SS postcode area, about 187 miles east of Exeter, where we are based.
