SEO in Shoreham for the harbour, the airport and the trades.

Shoreham-by-Sea is a coastal town and port in the Adur district of West Sussex, sitting roughly halfway between Brighton and Hove to the east and Worthing to the west. It is bordered to the north by the South Downs, to the west by the Adur valley, and to the south by the River Adur and Shoreham Beach on the English Channel. New Shoreham was established by the Normans in the late 11th century, and the town centre still follows the grid laid out around St Mary de Haura Church in the early 1100s.

The town grew into a Victorian sea port after the railway arrived in 1840, with shipyards and an active coasting trade, and Shoreham Harbour remains in commercial operation today. Just to the west, on the Lancing side of the river, sits Shoreham Airport, the oldest continually operated airport in the world, which was an RAF base in the Second World War. That gives the town a genuine base of marine, maritime and aviation-related businesses on top of its ordinary trades, and each of those attracts a different kind of search.

Customers around Shoreham search from the town, from Southwick and Portslade to the east, from Lancing and Sompting to the west, and often from Brighton and Worthing since the town sits right between them. A marine firm might get enquiries from all along the coast, while a local trade wants the town and its immediate neighbours. We work out which searches actually matter for your business and make sure you show up for those, rather than a generic “Shoreham” page that speaks to no one in particular.
