SEO or Search Engine Optimisation can be the difference between your website being found by potential customers and losing them to a competitor.

SEO expert Rob Curtis from Wiltshire-based Smarter Media shares some tips you can use to be more effective online.

“Digital marketing is important for any business now,” Rob said. “However with the onset of covid-19, lockdown and continuing restrictions on our ability to move around our own communities or further afield, it’s even more important to take the digital space even more seriously.”

But Hampshire-based business coach Trudy Simmons shares some great techniques to drive things forward and talks about the power of collaborating with other business owners.

She also tells us about the Spectacular Challenge for £1 million - a collaborative effort of 80 small business owners to achieve a 7-figure turnover between them. Did they achieve their goal?
