The business base in Romford
Part of the Havering borough, in east london.
The town centre combines shopping centres and a historic market with one of the larger concentrations of bars and restaurants in outer east London.
Around it sits a base of owner-managed firms — trades, motor trade, professional services and care providers — serving a large suburban population.
What that means for marketing in Romford
Customers here rarely think of themselves as searching in London, and businesses that optimise only for London terms miss most of their actual market. The Elizabeth line has also widened the realistic catchment in both directions.

Working with businesses in Romford
Should I target "Romford" or "London" in my content?
Romford, and the surrounding towns your customers live in. Almost nobody in this catchment searches for a London supplier — they search Romford, Hornchurch, Upminster or Brentwood. Optimising for the town names captures the searches actually being made.
Do you have an office in Romford?
No. Digetize works with businesses across Greater London, remotely and on site. We would rather say that plainly than imply a local presence we do not have — and listing an address we do not trade from would breach Google's guidelines anyway.
Is it worth targeting Romford specifically?
It depends where your customers actually come from. Customers here rarely think of themselves as searching in London, and businesses that optimise only for London terms miss most of their actual market. The Elizabeth line has also widened the realistic catchment in both directions.
