Web design & SEO · Worthing
Websites and search for Worthing, where everyone is close by.
Worthing packs a lot of businesses into a small area. In local search that is both the problem and the opportunity.
Werehouse Media is a web design and SEO studio working with businesses in Worthing, West Sussex, England, and along the coast from Lancing to Goring-by-Sea. Websites start at £995 and multi-page builds at £1,495, local SEO runs from £695 a month, and the SEO audit is normally £495 and free for a limited time. You own the domain, the code and every account outright.
We are based in Uckfield, East Sussex, about 23 miles away in a straight line, so the work runs remotely with meetings in Worthing by arrangement, at the same published prices.
Why does local search work differently in Worthing?
Because it is so dense. Worthing is the sixth most densely populated of the South East's 64 local authority areas, according to the Office for National Statistics, and its population grew by 6.5% between the 2011 and 2021 censuses, to around 111,400 (ONS, Census 2021). Plenty of customers live within a short walk or drive of plenty of businesses.
For the map pack, which is weighted towards businesses close to the person searching, that means competitors are often a few streets apart, and small things decide who appears: the right primary category, accurate hours, steady reviews and photographs of real work. Nobody wins all of Worthing; the businesses that do well win their own part of it.
Who we build for in Worthing
The town's population aged 65 and over grew by 15.4% between the last two censuses (same source), and that shapes what a good local site looks like: clear text that holds up on a phone, a tappable phone number, prices on the page and no hoops between the visitor and booking. It suits the businesses we build for most here: trades and home services, clinics and health practitioners, care providers, and the independent shops, cafés and hospitality along the seafront and in the town centre.
For trades, the guide to local SEO for trades sets out what moves enquiries first. For practices answering calls while with patients, an AI receptionist can take the calls you miss.
