SME (small and medium enterprise) businesses make up an incredible 99.9% of the UK’s business population1.

And while walk-ins and word of mouth are both still effective drivers of leads and sales for those businesses, there’s no denying the importance of maintaining a professional online presence.

As just a few examples, there are an average of 27,000 Google searches a month for both ‘handyman near me’ and ‘personal trainer’, 18,100 searches for ‘wedding photography’ and an incredible 301,000 searches for ‘hairdressers near me’2. Whatever your small business, it’s likely that, whether locally, nationally or internationally, people will be searching for it online.

Our social media marketing packages will help you to showcase your products, skills, expertise or venue across platforms like Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and YouTube, using creative campaigns and smart advertising, which we can target to your ideal audience.
