Helping small businesses thrive.

In a tech-driven world.

Tell us a bit about your business and the way you work. We will then analyse it (we are geeks, it's what we do) and put together a unique plan to improve your business and make your life easier. Backed by 20+ years of marketing and tech experience.

It's free, practical, and yours to keep.

We check by hand for suitability, then email you back, usually within a few hours.

How it works.

  1. 01

    Send us your link.

    Add your website or social media link and your email address. No website yet? Your Facebook or Instagram page is fine. That's all we need to check whether you are a good fit for our free plan.

  2. 02

    We get to work.

    Most businesses that come to us, we can genuinely help. The small number we cannot, we will tell you why. Who is this not right for? ↗ If we can help, we will send you a short follow-up form. It takes 3 minutes and gives us what we need to put your plan together.

  3. 03

    Receive your unique plan.

    Within 7 working days, we will email you your plan. Take the advice and run with it yourself, or we can handle it. No follow-up sales calls, no pressure. Just a plan that's genuinely useful.

Things we are good at.

Marketing, properly considered.

Real-world, practical advice drawn from 20+ years of experience. No theory, no jargon. Just what actually works.

...we have the grey hairs, so you don't have to.

  • Honest review of how your business comes across
  • Thoughts on your messaging and where it could be sharper
  • Specific suggestions you can act on (or hand over to us)
  • Recommendations for what's worth testing
  • Plain-English advice you can actually use

Websites that earn their keep.

Honest audits, fresh builds, and proper aftercare. No templates, no over-engineering. Just websites that do their job.

  • A clear-eyed look at your current site (what's working, what's not)
  • Performance issues uncovered, with what to do about them
  • Rebuilds that actually solve the problem, not paper over it
  • Pages that turn visitors into customers
  • A plan for what to build, fix, or leave alone

Built around how you work.

Most businesses are doing work by hand that software could handle in seconds. We find it, then quietly automate it.

...you will be amazed what you don't have to do anymore.

  • A look at the manual work in your business
  • Connect the software you already use, so they talk to each other
  • Custom built tools for your business
  • Hours saved every week, plus fewer manual mistakes
  • Pointers to do it yourself, or we can handle it for you

15+ years of Google Ads experience.

Google Ads management for businesses on a budget. We manage every campaign like it is our own, making every penny count.

  • Target people actively searching for what you offer
  • Campaigns set up to make budgets go further, learned over 15 years
  • Ongoing management without the agency price tag
  • No contracts - choose setup-only, or full ongoing management
  • Plain-English monthly reports

What's working, and what isn't?

Without testing, you're just guessing. When done right, it is the most powerful way to grow your business.

  • Google Analytics and conversion tracking, set up properly
  • A/B testing focused on real results
  • Recommendations on what's worth testing, from 20+ years of experience
  • We can run the tests for you, or point you to the tools to do it yourself
  • With testing, you learn to start with instincts, then let the data take over

Marketing's most overlooked tool.

Campaigns, automated sequences, signup forms, transactional messages. Email is the most direct line to your customers.

  • Email marketing platform recommendations and optional setup service
  • Automated sequences mapped out (welcomes, follow-ups, win-backs)
  • Signup forms recommended for your website, to build your list as you go
  • Transactional email setup (receipts, confirmations, the important stuff)
  • We can handle any of it, or point you to the best tools to do it yourself
Case studies

Real businesses. Real results.

Soundproof Spaces - Birmingham

What we did

Developed a custom auto-estimate tool for Soundproof Spaces' website. Powered by a backend database that auto-updates with their suppliers' pricing.

The process

  • Customer enters room dimensions
  • Form calculates using current material prices
  • Instant estimate emailed within 5 minutes

"This system has been a game changer for the way we do business" - Owen Morrison, Soundproof Spaces

The Leaflet Distribution Company

What we did

Created a new website and manage their Google Ads campaign, competing nationally in a saturated market. We also use A/B testing to improve performance.

The outcome

  • Generating conversions from day one
  • Outperforming larger national competitors
  • Cost per lead trending down

"Very happy with the performance of the new website"
- Andrew Banks, The Leaflet Distribution Company

Each of these clients started with our free plan. We gave them advice on how to improve their business themselves, and a price for us to do it. They asked us to handle it.

FAQ

What happens after I get my plan?

What's it going to cost me?

The plan itself? Nothing.

Send us your website or socials and we will take a look. If we can help, we will send you a short follow-up form. It takes around 3 minutes to fill in.

Within 7 working days, we will email you a plan with specific suggestions on what could be changed to improve your business. This will also include estimates for us to handle any of the work for you.

No card details, no follow-up sales calls (we will follow up with one email to ask for feedback), no obligation. If you want to take the plan and run with it yourself, brilliant - we truly hope it helps.

What's the catch?

Honestly, there isn't one.

A percentage of the people we send plans to ask us to handle some of the work for them (and we often end up helping them long-term). Our prices are fair and up-front, and you will see them in the plan itself.

Others recommend us to friends and other business owners down the line. Between those two, we have enough to run a solid business whilst still being able to help small business owners who would otherwise be priced out of proper guidance.

We would rather give real advice to a hundred people and have ten of them work with us, than push a sales pitch on all hundred. It is a better way to run a business, and frankly it is more enjoyable too.

Is this right for me?

Probably, yes.

We work with small business owners across the UK who want to grow their business but feel a bit out of their depth with the tech side of things. That includes trades, local services, consultants, shops, studios, and pretty much any small business with or without a website. If that sounds like you, you are exactly who we built this for.

It is probably not the right fit if you are a tech-led business, a large corporate with an in-house team, or running a complex ecommerce store. Our advice would not be the most useful for you, and we would rather be honest about that than waste your time.

What information do you need from me?

To get started, just your website or socials and your email. That is all we need at first.

If we can help, we will send you a short follow-up form. It is mostly tick boxes and short answers and takes about 3 minutes to complete. The more detail you can give us, the more specific and useful your plan will be. Plain English is perfect.

You will not be asked to share any passwords, logins, or access to anything you use day-to-day.

If you later decide to bring us in for a project, we will only ask for the access we need for that specific job, and we will explain exactly why we need each thing before you hand anything over.

Can you get me to the top of Google?

Honestly? Nobody can truly guarantee that, and anyone who does should be approached with caution.

There are two ways to appear at the top of Google. The first is Google Ads, which is the paid route. You set a budget, and every time someone clicks your ad, you pay a small fee. The more competitive your industry, the more each click costs. If your budget is healthy enough, yes, you can be at the top of Google tomorrow. We offer Google Ads management as one of our services (with over 15 years' experience at keeping spend efficient). Set up properly, it can be a brilliant tool.

The second way is organic, where Google ranks you naturally because it trusts your website. This takes longer, but it does not cost you per click, and the results build over time.

Now, the warning. You will come across agencies and providers promising guaranteed organic rankings. The way they do it is by generating hundreds, sometimes thousands of pages on your website using AI, each one a slight variation of a service or location (think "plumber Bolton", "plumber Salford", "plumber Bury" and so on, but at scale). It works for a while. Then Google catches up, recognises the pattern as low-quality, and penalises the site (do a search for 'scaled content abuse' to learn more). We have seen a similar thing in the past with keyword stuffing in the 90s and link farming in the 2000s. It never ends well.

What we do is the slower, sturdier route. We help you build something Google can actually trust over time, hand-built pages with completely unique content, so your rankings grow with your business and cannot be wiped out by an algorithm update. It takes longer, but it lasts.

What happens after I get the plan?

That is entirely up to you.

You read the plan in your own time, in your own way. If something in it sparks an idea you want to run with, brilliant. If you would like us to handle any of it for you, the estimates are right there in the email and you can reply whenever you are ready.

We will send you a quick email a week later asking for feedback. You are not obliged to reply, but any feedback, good or bad, is appreciated to help us improve the plans we send out in future.

Your details stay with us. We do not pass them on to any other company, and you will not be hounded by us in any way. When you fill in the follow-up form, you will have the option to join our marketing email list so you can hear from us with hints, tips and offers. We promise not to send more than 4 emails per year.
