Over the course of my career, I've had the privilege of working with hundreds of businesses. They've ranged from independent pubs and boutique hotels to architects, engineers, surveyors, consultants and professional service firms. Different sectors, different challenges and differ They may have been referred to your firm, seen your name in a tender process, or heard about you through a colleague, client or professional contact. But before they make contact, they will often

A business is never just what people see on the surface. It is the care, courage and consistency to keep showing up — while knowing when to bend with the wind, or evolve and move with the times.

Most Professional Services Firms Have Outgrown Their Website — And It’s Costing Them Contracts

Most websites look the part but quietly fail at the one job that matters: turning visitors into enquiries. You can have a sleek layout, polished branding, and impressive photography, yet still watch potential clients click away without making contact. The difference almost always comes down to trust.

Your website is often the first impression people have of your business. It works around the clock, representing your brand, answering questions, building trust and generating enquiries. But like any valuable business asset, it needs regular care to perform at its best.

Snapchat is restricting wholly AI-generated videos from its Spotlight recommendations. Google says AI-assisted content can perform well when it is genuinely useful. At first, these appear to be two very different responses to artificial intelligence. Snapchat seems to be drawing a line against AI content. Google appears willing to accept it.

For hotels, restaurants and venues, the guest experience no longer begins at reception, at the table or at the bar. It begins much earlier, often while someone is sitting at home scrolling through Instagram, comparing options and deciding where they would most like to spend their time and money. Before they have tasted the food, seen the room or spoken to a member of the team, they are already forming an impression. They are deciding whether the business feels welcoming, whet

Ranking for “Architecture” Isn’t a Lane. It’s a Continent.

If you work in professional services — consulting, law, finance, accountancy, HR, recruitment, technology, or any advisory business — you already know LinkedIn exists. You probably have a profile. Your firm may even have a company page someone updates sporadically.

Generative Engine Optimisation There is a major change happening in the way people find, compare and choose businesses. It is not as visible as a new social media platform. It does not always make headlines in the same way as a Google algorithm update. But for established businesses, professional firms and reputation-led organisations, it may be one of the most important shifts in online visibility for years. It is called Generative Engine Optimisation. GEO, for short. If you

AI has moved from experiment to infrastructure. Search no longer just points people to websites — in many cases, it answers the question outright. And the businesses that understand what's really shifting are pulling ahead of the ones still chasing last year's tactics. The good news for established businesses? The fundamentals haven't changed. Trust wins. Clarity converts. Reputation still matters. What has changed is the environment those fundamentals now operate in — and t
