⚠️ Google Is Changing Search Again

Google’s AI-powered search results are changing how businesses get found online.

AI Overviews are now appearing in a growing number of searches, meaning users often see AI-generated summaries before the traditional website listings.

What does that mean for you as a business?

Your content needs to be:
✔ Helpful
✔ Clear
✔ Trustworthy
✔ Well-structured

Businesses publishing genuinely useful content are far more likely to stay visible in search.

👉 Quick tip: Answer common customer questions directly on your website. Think FAQs, pricing guidance, comparisons, and practical advice.

The businesses that educate customers will win more attention online.

🍪 Happy National Biscuit Day 🍪

Choosing the right website strategy is a bit like choosing the nation’s favourite biscuit.

Everyone loves a chocolate digestive because it’s reliable, does the job well, and never lets you down.

Your website should be exactly the same.

Too many businesses end up with the online equivalent of a broken rich tea biscuit:
☕ Falls apart under pressure
📱 Doesn’t work properly on mobile
🐌 Slow to load
❌ Leaves people disappointed

A good website should be more like the mighty chocolate digestive:
✅ Solid foundations
✅ Looks great
✅ Delivers consistently
✅ Leaves customers wanting more

And just like biscuits with tea, SEO and a good website work better together.

So, important business question for today…

What’s the true king of biscuits? 👀

Your website should be doing more than “looking nice”.

If a potential customer lands on your site and can’t quickly work out:
✅ What you do
✅ Who you help
✅ Why they should trust you
✅ How to contact you

…they’ll leave.

A few quick wins:

👉 Add a clear headline above the fold
👉Make your phone number visible on mobile
👉Include recent testimonials
👉Speed up your website loading time
👉Add a simple call-to-action on every page

Small changes often lead to big increases in enquiries.

When was the last time you reviewed your website from a customer’s perspective?

Being self-employed, it's easy to mistakenly believe that productivity requires constant focus. However, some of my most creative ideas emerge when I'm strolling through the park and along the river in St Neots, allowing my thoughts to wander.

Downtime isn’t a luxury, it’s part of the work. It's where creative thinking breathes, solutions surface, and stress quiets down. Whether it's a stroll through the park or just switching off for a bit, that pause is powerful. How do you switch off from your work?

Make space to think. Your future self will thank you.

WordPress 7.0 has landed! Well, it’s being rolled out as we speak and it’s one of the biggest WordPress updates we’ve seen in years.

There are some genuinely exciting changes coming with it:

✅ A native AI layer so tools like ChatGPT or Claude can integrate directly into WordPress
✅ Real-time collaboration in the editor (similar to Google Docs editing) - this feature has been slightly delayed but is expected soon
✅ A refreshed admin interface with improved navigation
✅ A redesigned revisions system so you can clearly see what changed and when
✅ New blocks, improved mobile menus, and smarter layout tools

A quick reassurance for any of my existing clients whose WordPress websites I already manage, you don’t need to worry about any of this. I’ll be handling testing, compatibility checks, backups and the update process for you to make sure everything is updated safely.

For everyone else though, please don’t just hit the update button straight away.

⚠️ Large WordPress updates can sometimes break things. Usually not WordPress itself, but the plugins your business relies on every day, checkout systems, booking forms, memberships, email automations and integrations.

Those plugins are built by different developers on different timelines, and not all of them will necessarily be ready on day one.
It’s also worth checking your hosting environment. WordPress 7.0 requires PHP 7.4 minimum, with PHP 8.3 recommended. If your hosting is still running an older PHP version, that alone could create problems.

Before updating, I’d strongly recommend:

1️⃣ Take a full backup - files and database, not just relying on your host’s backups
2️⃣ Check your important plugins are confirmed as compatible
3️⃣ Test the update on a staging site first (most hosts now offer this in one click)
4️⃣ Test the important parts afterwards - forms, checkouts, sign-ups, emails etc.
5️⃣ Only then update the live site… ideally not late on a Friday afternoon 😅

The new features genuinely do look worthwhile, and the update is absolutely worth doing. Just make sure it’s done properly and safely.

As always, backup first, test first, then update.

A local business owner came to me recently and said, “Everyone says my website looks nice… but I’m not getting enquiries.”

Sound familiar?

The truth is, a “nice” website isn’t the same as a working website.

We booked a Zoom session and looked at it together and found: 👉 No clear call to action 👉 No real keyword focus 👉 No trust signals (reviews, proof, etc.)

Within a few tweaks, enquiries started coming in...and I had a very happy client calling me a few days later!

💡 Quick wins you can do today:
🔹 Add a clear CTA on every page (don’t assume people know what to do)
🔹 Make sure each page targets a specific search term
🔹 Add testimonials, even 2–3 makes a difference

Your website shouldn’t just sit there… it should be your best salesperson.

📌 How to structure local SEO content so it pulls its weight

SIMPLE: You do not need a fancy content pyramid or a whiteboard full of arrows. You need a simple structure that helps both search engines and humans.

START: Start with your homepage making it clear what you do and where you do it. Then build out service pages for each core offer. After that, create location pages for your most important areas if they are commercially relevant and genuinely distinct. Then support those with helpful articles, FAQs, and case studies.

SENSIBLE: That creates a sensible path. Your articles can link to your services. Your service pages can link to your locations. Your case studies can reinforce both. It all joins up, which is exactly what many small business websites are missing.
