A critical PHP security update has prompted an understandable question for business owners: does this affect my website, and has it been dealt with? If your website runs on WordPress, it uses PHP. However, seeing that WordPress and your plugins are up to date doesn’t confirm whether this issue has been addressed. Here’s what the…
How much should you actually be spending on marketing? It’s a question we hear from businesses that know they need to do more with their marketing but aren’t sure what a sensible budget looks like. Should it be £1,000 a month? £3,000? £10,000? Should your manufacturing marketing budget be based on turnover? Your growth target?…
If you’re looking at replacing your manufacturing website, one of the first questions you’re likely to ask is: how much does a manufacturing website cost? The frustrating answer is usually “it depends”. And while that’s technically true, it isn’t particularly helpful when you’re trying to set a budget. A manufacturing website can cost anything from…
If you’re considering outsourcing your marketing, there’s probably one question fairly high on your list: How much does a digital marketing agency cost? You’d think there would be a straightforward answer. There isn’t. You can find agencies charging less than £1,000 a month and others charging £10,000, £20,000 or considerably more. And frustratingly, plenty of…
An industrial web presence should do far more than simply exist online. Your website is often the first interaction a potential customer has with your business. Before somebody contacts your team, requests a quote, or books a meeting, they are researching suppliers online. They are comparing competitors, reviewing capabilities, checking credibility, and trying to decide…
Getting your website generating leads is one of the biggest challenges businesses face. Many companies invest heavily in a new website, SEO campaigns, content marketing, or digital advertising, only to find that enquiries remain low and conversions fail to improve. The frustrating part is that the business itself may actually be excellent. You might offer…
AI search optimisation is quickly becoming one of the most important parts of digital marketing in 2026. If your business relies on being found online, whether that’s through Google, LinkedIn, or industry searches, the way people discover companies is changing rapidly. Traditional SEO still matters, but buyers are no longer only typing short keywords into…
A B2B website in 2026 needs to do far more than simply look professional. Your website is often the first interaction a potential customer has with your business. Before somebody contacts your team, requests a quote, or books a meeting, they are researching online. They are comparing suppliers, reviewing expertise, checking credibility, and trying to…
If you’re a manufacturer trying to make sense of social media, you’re not alone. Most businesses we speak to are either doing very little or doing a bit of everything without seeing any real return. A few posts here and there. A company update when something happens. Then nothing. And when it doesn’t lead to…
If your manufacturing website isn’t generating enquiries, you’re not alone. Most businesses we speak to have already invested time and money into their website. It looks professional, it explains what they do, and on paper, it should be working. But it isn’t. No consistent enquiries. No meaningful conversations. Just the occasional contact form, if that.…
If your manufacturing business isn’t getting enquiries through your website, it’s rarely because of the website itself. More often, it’s because the right people simply aren’t finding you. That’s where SEO for manufacturers comes in. Not as a technical exercise. Not as a box to tick. But as a way to get your business in…
If you’re a manufacturer trying to generate leads, you’ve probably felt it, marketing can feel like a lot of effort for very little return. You’ve got a website. You might be posting on social. Maybe you’ve even tried email campaigns or paid ads. But nothing really seems to translate into proper conversations with the right…
If you’re running a B2B business, chances are you’re putting real effort into your website. You’ve invested in SEO, maybe some paid ads, perhaps a LinkedIn campaign or two. People are landing on your pages. And then….nothing. No enquiry, no contact form, no call. Here’s the uncomfortable truth: that’s completely normal. And it’s also a…
