Local knowledge

Websites that understand Southampton.

Southampton is one of the UK’s major ports and a leading cruise terminal, with two universities, a large student population and a diverse business community.

Port, marine and logistics

The docks, cruise terminals and supporting industries create a large B2B market for marine engineers, logistics firms, suppliers and professional services.

Students and city-centre trade

With the University of Southampton and Solent University, the city has a big student market for hospitality, retail, fitness and services around Bedford Place, Portswood and the centre.

Neighbourhood businesses

From Shirley and Bitterne to Woolston and Totton, trades, salons, clinics and shops rely on local search and Google Maps to win customers.

A city of neighbourhoods

From Ocean Village’s waterfront to Bedford Place nightlife and the high streets of Shirley and Portswood, Southampton’s neighbourhoods each have their own customers and search habits.

Cruise passengers and visitors

Hundreds of thousands of cruise passengers pass through Southampton each year, many with time to spare before or after sailing. Hospitality and leisure businesses can capture that demand online.
