Drop one word and the customer ends up across the Woolwich Ferry.

The Woolwich Ferry and the Woolwich foot tunnel are the two things that genuinely belong to both banks, and everything else here has to say North. Ongoing SEO is monthly work on three agreed searches like these.

  1. 01
    “plumber north woolwich e16

    Both the word North and the postcode are load-bearing, because without them a search resolves to the town centre across the Woolwich Ferry rather than to Royal Victoria Gardens.

  2. 02
    “cafe near the woolwich ferry

    The Woolwich Ferry is the one landmark both banks genuinely share, and it is how a great many people here describe where they are.

  3. 03
    “handyman king george v

    King George V DLR station is the principal transport point on this side, and carries a name no business on the far bank can use.

Examples only. The three searches are agreed with you around the work you want more of and what people near Royal Victoria Gardens actually type. Nobody can promise a position, and we don't.

Two ways to start on the north bank.

A professional website, or that website with ongoing SEO from the start. Both keep the word North attached, because dropping it sends a customer across the river.

North Woolwich

North of the river, historically in Kent, and sharing a name across the Woolwich Ferry.

Despite lying on the northern, Essex side of the Thames, this area was within the historic county of Kent. The reason is documented: after 1066 Hamo, Sheriff of Kent, attached Essex land to his Woolwich manor in Kent in order to control the revenues of the crossing that became the Woolwich Ferry, and to gain military and political advantage. A crossing here appears in the Domesday Book of 1086, and the Woolwich Ferry is still the reason the two banks share a name.

The area is small and physically hemmed in, with the Thames on one side and London City Airport on the other. North Woolwich railway station opened in 1847 and closed in 2006. Today King George V DLR station is the principal public transport asset, offering connections to the City, Canary Wharf, Stratford and Woolwich, and the DLR extension reached here in December 2005. The Woolwich foot tunnel provides a pedestrian crossing beneath the Thames, and Royal Victoria Gardens is the area's main open space, with the formally defined boundaries extending east from it.

For a business, the naming problem is the plainest in this batch and the hardest to write around. The word Woolwich, on its own, means the town on the south bank: its shops, its station, its centre. Anyone typing it is almost certainly going there. That leaves the north side needing to say North every single time, attach E16, and give a customer a landmark on this side of the water to aim at.

North Woolwich industries

Small local trades in a physically isolated place.

A plumber and a cleaning company working around Royal Victoria Gardens serve a community hemmed in by the Thames and London City Airport, which makes the catchment small and being found in it more important.

Questions

Questions from North Woolwich businesses

Do you build websites for businesses in North Woolwich?
Yes, for the small local trades, services and food businesses on the north bank around Royal Victoria Gardens and King George V DLR station. Everything is designed, built and managed remotely, so there is no office to visit.
Why does our area share a name with a town across the river?
Because of a land arrangement after 1066: Hamo, Sheriff of Kent, attached this Essex land to his Woolwich manor in Kent to control the revenues of the crossing that became the Woolwich Ferry, which is why the area sat in the historic county of Kent despite being on the northern bank. The name stuck long after the county boundary stopped mattering.
Should the site ever just say Woolwich?
No. On its own the word means the town centre on the south bank, and using it will send customers there. The site says North Woolwich and E16 consistently, and gives a landmark on this side, such as the ferry, the foot tunnel or King George V DLR station.
We already have a website we like. Can you just do the SEO?
No. SEO is not sold on its own any more — it is only available as part of Website + SEO, £349.99 a month in total, and that means building you a new PrimeStart website rather than adding search work onto the one you have now. A business near Royal Victoria Gardens would be starting from the same place as everyone else here: a new site built around the trade, with the SEO work running from day one rather than retrofitted onto what already exists. Nobody can promise rankings, and we don't.
What does a North Woolwich business website cost?
Website is £49.99 a month with a £0 upfront design fee, and it costs the same in E16 as anywhere else. The first £49.99 is taken at signup, and there is an 18-month minimum term, £899.82 in total. Once that term is complete, the website is yours.
How does ongoing SEO work?
Website + SEO is £349.99 a month total, with the website included rather than charged on top. Each month we work on three agreed local searches, for example "plumber north woolwich e16" or "cafe near the woolwich ferry", alongside your Google Business Profile and the website itself. Nobody can promise rankings, and we don't.
Is this the same as the Silvertown page?
No. The Silvertown page covers the rubber works the name came from, the refinery, Millennium Mills and the tunnel. This page covers North Woolwich: the Kent anomaly, the ferry, the foot tunnel, Royal Victoria Gardens and King George V DLR station.
