About East Kent SEO.
Local SEO is the process of optimising your online presence so your business appears when people nearby search for what you offer.
That means showing up in Google Maps, the Local Pack, and local organic results, not just on your website.
For trades, service businesses and local shops across Kent, it’s one of the highest-return marketing channels available.
People searching “plumber near me” or “electrician in Canterbury” are ready to buy, and you just need to be in front of them.

Why East Kent SEO
What makes us different.
There is no shortage of SEO agencies. What there is a shortage of is agencies that are genuinely transparent about what they do, who tie their work directly to business outcomes, and who treat every client as a priority rather than a line on a spreadsheet.
We are small enough to care about every client and experienced enough to deliver real results. We do not take on more than we can serve properly. We do not make promises we cannot keep. And we do not hide behind jargon when it comes to reporting.
Ben’s engineering background means every campaign is approached the same way a good engineer approaches a problem, methodically, from the data, with a clear sense of what the output needs to be.

Who is Ben Nuttall?
Ben Nuttall is the founder of East Kent SEO, born and raised in Faversham, Kent. He spent 10 years working as an engineer before transitioning into SEO, where he has spent the last 7 years running campaigns for businesses across Kent and the UK.
What is your background before SEO?
Ben spent a decade working as an engineer — a career that gave him a methodical, data-driven approach to problem-solving that now underpins every SEO campaign he runs. Engineering teaches you to look past symptoms and find root causes, which is exactly the mindset that makes the difference in SEO.
Why did you start East Kent SEO?
After several years working in SEO agencies, Ben kept seeing the same problems — clients paying retainers without understanding what was being done, and campaigns focused on rankings rather than actual business results. East Kent SEO was founded to do things differently: transparent, honest, results-focused work where clients always know what is happening and why.
Is East Kent SEO just Ben?
No — East Kent SEO is a small, focused team of specialists covering SEO strategy, content and link building. What sets us apart is that Ben personally oversees every campaign and is the person clients deal with directly. There are no account managers or junior staff between you and the work.
Where are you based and who do you work with?
We are based in Faversham, Kent, and work with businesses across Canterbury, Whitstable, Maidstone, Ashford, Folkestone, Dover and the wider Kent area — as well as service businesses competing nationally across the UK.
Do you only work with local businesses?
No. While local businesses across Kent make up a significant part of our client base, we also run national SEO campaigns for service businesses competing UK-wide, as well as link building and web design projects for businesses anywhere in the country.
