## About Margate

Margate is a classic Kent seaside resort that has seen a notable revival, with the Turner Contemporary gallery, Dreamland amusement park and an influx of creative people and Londoners. It remains a mix of deprived areas and gentrifying streets, with large Victorian houses being renovated alongside holiday flats. Trades working on older properties see steady demand. Independents do best with a website that has a clear personality, and trades should name Cliftonville, Westbrook and Garlinge.

## Nearby

Broadstairs (3 miles) and Ramsgate (4 miles) are the nearest in the same council area. Elsewhere in Kent, Sandwich (8 miles), Deal (11 miles), Fordwich (13 miles) and Canterbury (15 miles) are within reach. Naming the towns you actually cover tells people straight away whether you will come to them.

We are based in Exeter and work with Margate businesses remotely.

## Questions

### Do you actually work with businesses in this area?

Yes. We are based in Exeter and build websites for businesses right across the UK. The work is done remotely, by phone, WhatsApp and video call, and we will not pretend to have an office down the road from you.

### Does it matter that you are not local to me?

For building and looking after a website, no. Everything is done by phone, WhatsApp and video call, and you approve the design on your own phone before anything goes live. What does matter is local search visibility, and that depends on the site and your Google Business Profile being set up for your area, not on where we sit.

### How do I compete with bigger businesses in my area locally?

By being specific. A large regional firm usually has one page that covers everywhere; you can have a page about what you do in your town, naming the areas you cover and the jobs you do. Add a fast site and a fully completed Google Business Profile, and you are giving local searchers a clearer answer than a page written for the whole region.
