SEO agency on the Costa Blanca, from Altea. Eight towns, eight markets.
They look the same on a map and they are nothing alike. In l’Alfàs del Pi the foreign residents are the majority. In Villajoyosa the foreign colony is Eastern European and North African, not British. Marketing that ignores that is marketing that talks to nobody.
From 150 € + VAT a month, in any of them. No tie-in.
Your business is not the same as the one in the next town. Your website should not be either.
Steer clear of agencies that promise to rank you across «the whole Marina Baixa» with one generic page. That does not work.
For Google to take you seriously and for customers to choose you, you have to speak their language. Literally and figuratively. What brings in customers from the urbanisations of La Nucía is no use for reaching the foreign residents of Moraira or the Spanish-speaking locals of la Vila. Every town has its own DNA.
At Altea SEO we build the strategy on real figures (Spanish National Statistics Institute). If we cannot show you a figure, we do not quote it. No smoke.
And one practical thing: we are the marketing agency half an hour from your door. We come to your business, we get the camera out and we work next to you. Try asking that of an agency from somewhere else that only deals with you over the phone. We are here, and we know how to make your business stand out in your own town.
The eight, with the figure that defines each one
Altea
39.1 % foreign residents. Our own town, and the one where the competition knows us. 24,731 residents, and the largest foreign group is «other European countries», which is exactly the mix you would expect here.
Albir and l’Alfàs del Pi
50.4 % foreign residents. The only municipality in the area where foreigners are the majority. 1,973 British on the register, and a Norwegian colony that has its own school and its own consulate.
Calpe
54.1 % foreign residents. Seven nationalities above a thousand people and none of them in charge. The hardest town to write for, and the most interesting.
Moraira
56.4 % foreign residents. The highest share of all, and 2,158 British: roughly one in six of everybody living in Teulada.
Benidorm
26,862 foreign residents, the largest absolute number on this coast, and by a distance the hardest competition. 77,211 residents in total.
La Nucía and Polop
31.6 % and 32.2 %. Two towns behind the coast where a lot of residents live in urbanisations, which changes entirely how the map treats your business.
Villajoyosa
24.5 % foreign residents, and the profile is the opposite of Moraira: Ukrainian, Romanian, Moroccan and Russian, with the British nowhere near the top.
Dénia
29.1 % foreign residents of a much bigger town: 47,568 people. Colombian first, then British and German. A city market, not a village one.
The area in three numbers
None of them is our opinion.
If your town is not on the list
We work in the Marina Baixa and the Marina Alta, so if you are in Benitachell, Xàbia, Finestrat or anywhere else in between, ask. What we will not do is tell you we cover the whole of Alicante province: we do not, and a business two hours away is better off with somebody local to them.
Frequently asked questions about the areas we cover
Do you only work in these eight towns?
These are the eight we know street by street, and where we can be at your business in under half an hour. We also take on work in Benitachell, Xàbia, Finestrat and the villages in between — ask. What we will not claim is that we cover the whole province: a business two hours away is better served by somebody local to them.
Does the price change depending on the town?
No. The four packs cost the same in Polop as in Benidorm: 150, 550, 950 and 1,500 € + VAT a month. What changes is how hard the competition is, and we will tell you that before you start rather than after.
Do you work in English?
Yes, from the first message to the monthly report. We write Spanish and English ourselves. Dutch or German we arrange with a translator, not with an automatic tool, so tell us where your customers come from before we start.
Is there a tie-in?
No, in any of the towns or any of the packs. Month by month.
