Newcastle generates 800 monthly searches for “SEO Newcastle” with a keyword difficulty of 1/100 and a traffic potential of 1,400+ visits per month — the highest traffic potential of any remaining Tier 1 city in the portfolio. As the dominant commercial centre of the North East, Newcastle upon Tyne functions as a twin city with Gateshead across the River Tyne, together forming NewcastleGateshead — one of the UK's most distinctive urban economies.

Newcastle Science Central — a 24-acre urban science and technology park developed on the former Scottish & Newcastle Brewery site — anchors the city's growing digital and research economy. The Ouseburn Valley has become the North East's most vibrant creative and tech cluster, housing studios, agencies, and digital businesses in converted Victorian industrial buildings. Across the Tyne, Sage's global headquarters in Gateshead and the PROTO Emerging Digital Technologies Centre reinforce the region's digital credentials.

Grainger Town's Georgian commercial streets and the Quayside's regenerated waterfront host a professional services and hospitality economy that punches well above its weight. With 1,400+ monthly traffic potential and a keyword difficulty of just 1, Newcastle represents the single highest-upside remaining bespoke page in the portfolio.
