We Amplify What You’re Brilliant At

You have already done the hard part, building a business customers are happy to recommend.

We help you turn that reputation, expertise and positive word of mouth into more opportunities to be noticed. Genuine customer reviews give potential customers evidence that you do what you say you do, while useful content helps explain what makes your business worth considering.

You focus on delivering a great experience. We focus on helping more people find out about it.

We’re Always Creating Reasons for People to Visit

thebestof Eastbourne is not a directory that simply waits for somebody to search for a business.

We are continually creating and promoting reasons for local people to visit, whether they are looking for trusted trades, professional services, local events, things to do, useful information, special offers or businesses worth recommending.

Our Business Guide sits alongside What’s On, the Local Guide, articles, newsletters, social media activity and local Facebook community groups. Together, they help us attract people interested in Eastbourne, Hailsham, Polegate, Pevensey and Seaford and give them more reasons to keep engaging with us.

When somebody is looking for a business like yours, we want you to be one of the options they consider.

Get Found Through Google, AI and Customer Reviews

People do not all find businesses in the same way.

Some search Google. Others ask AI-powered tools for suggestions. Many still rely heavily on reviews, recommendations and word of mouth.

That is why our approach to marketing in Eastbourne does not depend on one channel.

Your locally optimised Business Feature, genuine customer reviews and relevant articles create useful information about your business that can strengthen traditional search visibility and give AI-powered tools more context about what you do, where you operate and who you help.

That can create opportunities for your business to be found through Google, referenced in AI-generated answers or discovered directly through thebestof Eastbourne.

The more places your reputation and expertise can be seen, the more opportunities people have to recognise your business as one worth considering.

Marketing Support Built Around Your Business

You do not need to become an expert in SEO, AI search, content marketing, reputation management or online promotion yourself.

We start by understanding what you want your business to be known for, where you would like greater visibility and what you are trying to achieve. From there, we look at how thebestof Eastbourne can complement the marketing you already do.

Membership starts from £40 plus VAT per month, with our most popular level of support at £129 plus VAT per month. Additional support is available as your needs develop.

Since 2011, more than 600 reviews have been left for the support we have given to local businesses and the community. That feedback reflects the relationships, visibility, connections and practical marketing support businesses and community organisations have experienced through thebestof Eastbourne.

Southern Fire Risk Assessments owner Dave Elliott described joining thebestof Eastbourne as “a real benefit”, highlighting the networking opportunities, local connections, marketing knowledge and increased business visibility.
