Business mix

Halton's business mix

Halton, which covers Widnes and Runcorn, has around 3,610 businesses. The two towns sit either side of the Mersey, joined by the Silver Jubilee Bridge and the Mersey Gateway.

Logistics, manufacturing and science firms cluster around the business parks, while trades and local services serve the housing estates and town centres.

Many firms work in both towns, so one page for Halton with clear detail about each side often works better than two thin pages.

Trades covering both towns usually start with profile work; our page on local SEO in Liverpool explains how. For everything else, see our Liverpool SEO home page.

Search results

Who ranks for SEO searches in Widnes and Runcorn now

When we checked in November 2026, the Widnes results were six national agency template pages. For Runcorn, there was no page about Runcorn at all: the results were Liverpool and Warrington pages and business directories.

That gap is good news for Halton businesses. Local firms with clear, specific pages can win searches the national players barely cover.
