The basics

Three ways to get found online

Digital marketing is simply everything you do online to get noticed, then turn that attention into enquiries. For most small businesses, it comes down to these three.

Builds over time

Search engine optimisation

Helps Google understand your website, so you show up when people search for what you do. Slower to start, but the results last.

  • Visitors you don't pay per click
  • Great for local searches
  • Gets stronger every month
Quick to start

Pay per click ads

Adverts at the top of Google for the searches that matter to you. You only pay when someone clicks.

  • Can start bringing in enquiries quickly
  • You choose the budget
  • Easy to measure
Builds your audience

Social media marketing

Regular posts and targeted ads that keep you in front of customers, and give them a reason to get in touch.

  • Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and X
  • Posts planned and written for you
  • Organic, ads or both

The best results usually come from mixing them. Ads for quick wins, SEO for steady growth and social media to stay in people's minds. Not sure what suits you? Start with a free SEO audit.

Questions

Digital marketing FAQs

What is digital marketing?

It's everything you do online to get noticed and turn that attention into enquiries. For most small businesses, that means search engine optimisation (SEO), pay per click ads and social media.

Should I start with SEO or pay per click?

If you need enquiries soon, pay per click can start quickly. SEO takes longer but builds a lasting base of free visitors. Many businesses use both. Tell us your goals and we'll recommend where to start.

How long does SEO take to work?

It varies, but you should expect it to take a few months to see steady results. Anyone promising instant page one rankings isn't being straight with you.

Can you guarantee I'll be first on Google?

No. Nobody can honestly guarantee a ranking. What we can do is show you exactly what we're doing, report on progress every month and keep improving.

Do I need a website first?

Yes, you need somewhere to send people. If you don't have one, or yours is out of date, we design websites that are built to be found.

Can you look after all of it for me?

Yes. We can plan it, run it and report on it, so you can get on with running your business. Not sure what you need? Start with our free SEO audit.
