Small businesses

You're busy running your business. Marketing shouldn't feel like another full-time job.

Between looking after customers, managing enquiries and keeping everything running, finding time to market your business can be difficult.

Maybe you're getting some customers but want more consistent enquiries. Maybe your social media has gone quiet or you're not sure whether your website is helping or holding you back.

I can help you work out where the opportunities are, what needs fixing and where your time and money are best spent.

Package A

The Growth Reality Check

£1,250 my fee

Around three to four weeks

Advertising budget: None
Total planned investment: £1,250

Before you spend more money on marketing, let's find out what's actually holding you back.

90-minute discovery session
Review of current marketing performance and available data
Customer journey review, where relevant
Review of how you describe your business and attract customers
Review of sales follow-up and customer experience where relevant
Focused review of how easily customers find similar businesses
Prioritised findings report
Five recommended actions
60-minute findings presentation

This package tells you what's holding the business back and what I'd do about it. It isn't a full annual plan. If you decide to go ahead with the Small Business Growth Plan (normally £1,995) within 30 days, £500 of this fee comes off it and you'd pay £1,495.

Package B

Small Business Growth Plan

£1,995 my fee

Two months

Advertising budget: £500
Total planned investment: £2,495

The £500 advertising budget is paid directly to Meta, not to me.

A realistic plan for the next 12 months and the content and advertising to get it moving.

90-minute face-to-face discovery session
Practical 12-month growth roadmap
Agreed business milestones and success measures
Four-week Meta advertising test with an appropriate objective
52 social media posts with simple graphics or image recommendations
Scheduling support within agreed tool limits
Up to 24 relevant community group interactions where permitted
Help setting up automatic review requests, so you choose who is sent the link and the tool does the asking
Final 60-minute handover

The 12-month plan is a practical, prioritised roadmap.

Package C

Small Business Growth Plan + Website

£3,250 my fee

Two months

Advertising budget: £500
Total planned investment: £3,750

The £500 advertising budget is paid directly to Meta, not to me.

Make your business easier to find and easier to choose.

Everything in the Small Business Growth Plan
Review of website navigation and the steps customers take
Homepage and important page review
Review of your website on mobile and how easy it is to enquire or buy
Content improvement recommendations
Recommendations for new pages and content
Review of search terms and how easily customers find similar businesses
Google Business Profile review where relevant
Review of how your business appears in AI-powered search
Prioritised website recommendations
Suggested layouts or simple wireframes for important pages

The website element is an assessment with recommendations, not a new website build or an implementation package. Website development, extensive copywriting and technical fixes aren't included unless quoted separately. I can't promise first-page Google rankings or appearances in ChatGPT, and you should be wary of anyone who does.

Marketing Advice Session

Not sure where to start? Let's figure it out.

£125 for 60 minutes

Not ready for a full package? An hour of focused advice can help you decide what to do next without an ongoing commitment.

A 60-minute one-to-one video call
A brief review of your current marketing or business idea using information you send me beforehand
Practical advice tailored to your business, budget and experience
Three recommended next steps sent by email after the call

A useful standalone session, not a sales call. No ongoing commitment and no obligation to buy another service.

Enquire about an advice session

Make your business easier to find and easier to choose.

I'll look at how people discover your business through Google and AI-powered search, what they see when they arrive on your website and what might be stopping them from becoming customers.

Talk to me about your business

I run businesses too, so I get it.

Alongside my marketing career, I run two Scottish businesses of my own. So when I talk about finding customers, keeping on top of social media or deciding where to spend money, it's not just something I've learned from working with clients. It's something I deal with in my own businesses too.

I know what it's like to fit marketing around customer enquiries and the day-to-day work, with limited time and a budget that needs to count.

Wheat-Out: My gluten-free bakery business, which I've grown through local search visibility, customer recommendations and organic marketing.
E2G Tours: My Scottish tour business, where customer experience, online reviews, booking journeys and digital visibility are important to attracting customers.

Not sure what help you need? That's absolutely fine.

Tell me a little about your business and what's frustrating you. I'll let you know whether I think I can help and what I'd recommend. No pressure to book a package.
