Arundel draws visitors to its castle and cathedral, but locals search too. The two want different things. We help you show up for both. From £99.
Arundel has a split personality in search, and getting it wrong costs you customers. Day-trippers and tourists search for the castle, the cathedral, somewhere to eat, park or stay, mostly typing “in Arundel” from somewhere else. Residents and nearby villages search for everyday services and want a firm they can call today. A shop or business in a heritage town like Arundel needs to be found by two very different searchers, the visitor planning a trip and the local who needs you now, and one page rarely serves both well.
SEO is the work of making Google show your business when someone searches for what you do. In Arundel that means separating the two intents cleanly: visitor-facing content built around the town’s draws for people searching from outside, and local-service content for residents and the surrounding villages. We research the words each group actually types, write them naturally into your pages, add the structured data Google reads, and get your Google Business Profile working so you show up on the map and in the local results.
One clear price from £99, no monthly retainer and no jargon. Arundel is under twenty miles from our base in Hassocks, a short drive over, so you deal with a real local person who knows the town, the A27 and how tourist trade and local trade differ.
On Your Doorstep
Arundel is a market town in the Arun District of West Sussex, on the edge of the South Downs, with the River Arun running through the eastern side. It is best known for two landmarks: Arundel Castle, seat of the Duke of Norfolk, and Arundel Cathedral, seat of the Catholic Bishop of Arundel and Brighton. The town is much conserved and, after the much larger Chichester, has the second highest number of listed buildings in West Sussex, which is a big part of why so many visitors come.
That heritage draws steady tourist trade, and Arundel has held Fairtrade Town status since 2004. The A27 runs right past the town, with a narrow and often congested bypass, and Arundel railway station sits on the Arun Valley Line, so both road and rail bring people in. For businesses that means a genuine stream of visitors searching from outside the area, on top of the local customers who live in and around the town all year.
Visitor searches and local searches look completely different. A tourist types “things to do in Arundel”, “lunch in Arundel” or “Arundel Castle parking” from home or on the road. A resident or a nearby village searches for a plumber, a hairdresser or a builder and wants someone close. People also search from Littlehampton, Angmering, Storrington, Pulborough and toward Chichester. We make sure your site is set up for whichever of these your business actually depends on, rather than blurring the two.
