***WEEKLY ROUND-UP***

Here is a quick look at what we've been up to this week.

Bec kicked off at the first BlackRook Digital Skills board meeting - hosted in the Penn Road McDonald's boardroom - talking skills and employability, before joining the Black Country Chamber at Halesowen College to discuss modern slavery.

Dan and Bec also headed to Molineux for the Platinum Group 'Sharing Best Practice' forum, hosted by Chris and Alfie from MoRServ.

To cap off a huge week, our very own Bec has been named a finalist in the Express & Star Black Country Heroes 2026 Awards, and Eighty3 is a finalist for the Chamber’s Catalyst for Creativity Award.

We're all off now for a big lie down! See you next week!

***WE'RE FINALISTS!!!***

We're delighted to share that we have been named a finalist for the Catalyst for Creativity award at the Black Country Chamber Business Awards 2026.

It's a category that recognises businesses driving creativity and innovation in the region, and being shortlisted alongside so many brilliant Black Country companies means a great deal to us.

Eleven years in, this recognition is a testament to the whole Eighty3 team and, more than anything, to the clients who've trusted us with their brands along the way.

Fingers crossed!

First day back, done and dusted. Routine's officially returned, and if you ask us, so should that project you've been putting off all summer.

Around twenty-seven years ago, Dan and Rebecca met at college. Never guessed it would end up here. Funny how a fresh start works out.

Got plans brewing? Get in touch; we're ready for a new challenge!

***HAVE YOU HEARD OF MULTIMODAL SEARCHES?***

Every week we see brilliant local businesses with three different logos floating around online, photos that don't match their website, and social profiles that could belong to anyone.

It never used to matter much. Now it really does. With Google Lens handling 20 billion visual searches a month, your images ARE your search listing.

Consistency isn't cosmetic. It's how customers find you.

Course it has. Weeks of heatwave, and the second the August Bank Holiday rolls round, the rain's back like it never left.
Classic British summer, timed to perfection.

Whatever you're doing this weekend, brolly or barbecue, we hope you have a proper good one.
Happy Bank Holiday from all of us at Eighty3.

Do reviews actually help me rank, or just look good?

Bit of both, but most people only clock the second half.

Google's been upfront that review count and average rating feed into what they call "prominence" - basically how well known and trusted Google reckons your business is. More reviews, a decent average, and a steady trickle of new ones coming in can genuinely nudge you up the map pack. It's not just about looking credible once someone's found you.

Here's the honest bit though: proximity and relevance still do most of the heavy lifting in who shows up at all. Reviews won't rescue a listing that's badly optimised everywhere else.

Where they earn their keep is the tiebreaker. Two businesses neck and neck for the same search, the one with more (and better, and more recent) reviews usually gets the spot. And it definitely gets the click.

So no, reviews aren't a shortcut past the fundamentals. But ignore them and you're leaving an easy win on the table.

Another busy week for the team, though Dan and Bec managed to sneak off for a couple of days.

Before stepping out, Dan headed over to Holly Lodge School in Smethwick with the Black Country Chamber, coming away seriously impressed by the work they are putting into the local community.

Meanwhile, Emily and Tobi represented the studio at The Foundry’s collaboration event over at Dockworks Waterfront, soaking up local insight from speaker Zak Douglas and taking on a game hosted by the Grand Theatre.

On a heavier note, we were deeply saddened by the passing of Dolly Parton, Tim Curry, and Peter Cullen this week—three creative giants who meant a massive amount to us.

We’re heading into the Bank Holiday weekend feeling reflective, but fully ready for a reset. Enjoy the long weekend, everyone

We're so sad to hear that Dolly Parton has passed away.

She was proof that positivity through creativity actually works. She was kind, funny, endlessly herself, and the world was all the better for it.

There will never be another Dolly. Thank you for everything.

***NEW BLOG: MULTIMODAL SEARCH***

Quick question: if a customer found your business through a photo instead of a Google search, would they recognise you?

People aren't just typing anymore. They're searching with cameras, voice notes and TikTok. If your brand looks different on every platform, you're invisible on most of them.

Our latest blog breaks down what multimodal search means for local businesses, and how to get ready 👉 https://www.eighty3.co.uk/multimodal-search/
