    Google My Business - use with caution

    As someone who says they do SEO, to dismiss GMB is naive to say the least due to the ranking signal it offers. Nevermind that a healthy GMB rating will also send the user direct to the advertised business' own website after reading previous customers reviews after they've done a Google search...

    Most efficient way of doing Initial market research for new business ideas?

    Hi Alan, I think for myself and my clients, the most important thing, is the answer to one question. Is there a realistic opportunity to make money? If you can answer that question, then you can go onto the next? How would I make that money? If its an invention that has never existed, you'll...

    How Do I Sell My Website Business?

    Hi, I've outlined above some parts of your original post that I feel could use some context and perhaps in doing so, steer the post this back on topic. SEO In terms of ranking, "Bi-Folding Doors Scotland" is not a barrier to entry. Looking at the competition on Google page 1, 2 and 3, even a...

    How much money do you make on your wordpress plugins and themes?

    Given that some previous posts from the OP have been closed (I dont think I'll waste my time on this) its clearly another account posting crap to get to the level they can post links.

    Adwords Placements

    Hi Ashley, If you have added 'managed placements' to your ad group and left the default targeting setting, as “Target and bid” it means your ads will only show only on the websites (i.e. managed placements) that you have chosen. 'Automatic Placement' is when Google does the deciding for you.

    Taking the plunge and opening a kitchen showroom

    I think any good display showcasing your design skills and workmanship (even a small one) will do a lot more for your credibility, customer perception and potential business levels than selling from a van. When people are handing over anything from a couple of thousand upwards people do an...

    Taking the plunge and opening a kitchen showroom

    Hi Liam, First of all, the best of luck in hopefully taking your venture to the next level. I have a few clients in the kitchen/interiors industry and although my current clients are offering branded furniture I have had clients who went down the PWS route (under their own names), or even made...

    Crawl error, redirects

    Hi Dags, did you try clicking 'Request Indexing'? it looks like your co.uk/film/ page was crawled on 22nd Dec (but not indexed - i.e. so wont appear in s Google search) so I'm guessing since you updated that page on 11th Jan that there is now more info on that page than on 22nd Dec? Was the...

    How to grow your business

    Hi Lee, Personally I would try and make contact with some contractors beforehand and explain your vision and ask if they would be interested in working with you, should you be able to put work their way in the near future. At least you have then built up some contacts rather than try and find...

    Three businesses - One Google My business address

    It depends on a few things but in the main you can have different legal entities (i.e. different limited companies) co-located at the same address and have separate GMB pages. Where it gets into the grey area (and could go either way) is if its one limited company that has three business units...
