How trades searches work in the North East
The North East has a compact urban core around Newcastle, Gateshead and Sunderland, with Durham and market towns beyond. Tyneside has its own housing types, such as Tyneside flats, which local customers recognise and search for. Using local place names and house types in your content shows you know the area.
- Cold, windy winters create regular demand for heating work and roof repairs
- Local housing types such as Tyneside flats give you specific things to write about
- Newcastle is competitive, while Sunderland and Durham can be easier to win
