It’s a great idea to regularly invest time and money in your website, but why is that? In our daily work as SEO consultants, we see many businesses with neglected websites, ours occasionally included (as we are simply too busy on client work to make time for it) but what are the reasons for sites falling behind and when should …
When Websites Go Bad
We often get asked what is the most common reason for websites breaking? Breaking in our instance (as an SEO agency) doesn’t mean literally breaking, e.g. due to a server blowing a fuse of heavens forbid, catching fire, but breaking in terms of losing their visibility online, so that the website is impossible or at best just very difficult to …
Home Based Working – A Year Anniversary
Home Based Working – A Year Anniversary We were pretty early at expecting the virus to herald worrying times ahead (ordered staff masks and sterilisers in January 2020 , tried to petition the government in February, to no avail, and even ordered an oxygen generator in March…..luckily unused at the time of writing!). Its probably no great surprise then that …
The Importance of Staying Positive?
I think it was the Monty Python Team who sang the praises of always looking on the Bright Side of Life, but they weren’t the first.

But should the same rules apply in business at this time of year or indeed …
It’s Never Too Late for a Leap Year!
Let’s face it unless you received an interesting proposal we’d all probably be forgiven for failing to notice that 2020 was also memorable for being a Leap Year, I certainly didn’t notice. The next official one is of course almost another 4 years away but how nice would it be to be able to turn the clocks back and magically …
Mary Poppins versus The End of The World?
Like me, you may have noticed during the Covid-19 pandemic a sudden and not so subtle increase in the number of programmes on TV or stories in the media that have what can best be described as a gory theme. Whether it’s stories about catching a murderer or not catching him (or her) until its too late, about drug lords …
Combative or Collaborative, what will the next decade look like?
To keep my finger on the pulse, and as an ex Market Researcher, I can’t resist answering the occasional behavioural survey or questionnaire much beloved by psychologists and FMCG Marketers everywhere. A frequent topic of late during the Covid-19 crisis has been questions around the extent to which in future I may prefer to give my custom to brands or …
Brexit, what else is in a word. A different take on a well-worn story?
Whether you are pro Brexit or a Remain’er it seems pretty clear that almost everyone is agreed the government and our political masters are making a bit of a ham-fisted effort at sorting it all out.
