Every business gets stuck somewhere
Nobody can find you
You post, you pay for ads, and the only people on your website are friends and family.
The money doesn't add up
Plenty of work coming in, and still not enough left over at the end of the month.
You're doing everything
Long weeks, the same jobs done the slow way, and everything waiting on you.
Can you recommend a guesthouse near the town centre with direct booking?
Here's one that fits. Guests mention the clean rooms and easy booking.

- Your Google profile, complete. Photos, hours and real reviews from real customers.
- Answers to the questions customers ask. The page Google and AI assistants read first.
- Fresh every week. Short clips and posts made from the work you already do.

Business Health Check
Three lights. Real numbers.
One glance tells you how your business is doing. Each light shows the real figure in your own money, and what good looks like.
Money
How much you really keep each month, and how far that is from where it should be.
Found
How customers find you, and what it costs when they come through someone else.
Time
What you actually earn for every hour you work.
How it works
Plan the win first. Then build it.
We have a chat
A friendly conversation about your business, your customers and your money. You get a written copy of what we talk about.
We find what's holding you back
The problem, the bottleneck and the fix, in plain words.
We build your strategy
Shaped just for you, with clear goals in real money.
We put it to work
Videos, website, tools. Every piece is checked before you see it, and we keep it on track month by month.
Questions owners ask us
Straight answers
How can a small business get found on Google and ChatGPT?
Start with a website that says clearly what you do, where you are and how to book. Add a complete Google Business Profile, real reviews from real customers, and a page that answers the questions your customers actually ask. Google and AI assistants both read those pages when they decide who to recommend. We set all of that up and keep it fresh.
Why is my business busy but not making money?
Most often the prices don't cover the real costs, or a few costs have crept up without anyone watching them. Our Business Health Check shows where every pound goes, in real money rather than percentages, so you can see what to change first.
I'm working far too many hours. Can you help?
Yes. Most of the extra hours go on jobs that repeat every week. We map how work flows from the first enquiry to getting paid, then cut the steps that waste your time, so the business doesn't need you for everything.
What is the Business Health Check?
A clear picture of your business shown as three traffic lights: Money, Found and Time. Each light shows the real figure and what good looks like, plus the few things worth looking at first. We show you how to use it.
Do you work with businesses outside the UK?
Yes. We're based in Leicester and work with businesses anywhere in the world, online, at times that suit your time zone.
How much does it cost?
The first chat is free. Every business is different, so we agree the price with you after that chat, before any work starts.
