You could look at companies like:
• Companies House WebFiling (still the cheapest if you’re happy doing it directly)
• Companies Made Simple (very straightforward for micro-entities)
• Inform Direct (popular with accountants and small businesses)
• ANNA Money (more of an all-in-one option with...
It sounds like you've already achieved something many platforms struggle with — attracting both an audience and industry participation.
My first thought is that organisers will usually pay when they can clearly see a return on investment. Instead of charging simply to manage a page, could you...
My advice would be to keep it simple and focus on the user's main goal. Don't try to pack too many features into the first version.
Also, test it with real users as early as possible. You'll learn more from watching a few people use the app than from weeks of tweaking the design yourself.
What...
Congratulations on the new venture.
From a business owner's perspective, I'd be less interested in the AI itself and more interested in the problems it solves.
For me, an AI receptionist would need to:
• Answer calls quickly and naturally
• Capture accurate contact details every time
•...
Hi Robbie,
It sounds like you've already tested a few channels rather than putting all your eggs in one basket, which is a good start.
My first thought would be to dig into where your existing customers are actually coming from and double down on what's already working. A lot of clothing...
I think some parents would definitely pay for this, particularly those who feel out of touch with the current graduate job market, apprenticeships, or university admissions process.
The bigger challenge may be identifying exactly who the buyer is and what problem you're solving for them. Career...
Sounds like an exciting project.
Before spending too much on formulation, it may be worth doing some initial testing yourself to get a clearer idea of the flavours, sweetness levels and target market you're aiming for. Even rough prototypes can help when discussing the concept with...
Fair point.
For fake reviews specifically, I normally recommend:
- replying calmly without sounding defensive
- mentioning you can’t find any customer record for them
- reporting it under “conflict of interest” or “not based on real experience”
- gathering screenshots/evidence before reporting...
There’s no perfect fix for fake reviews now because most of it is automated by Google.
Best thing you can do is flag the review correctly, respond professionally in public, and provide evidence if the person was never a customer.
For suspensions and verification issues, it’s usually about...
Google’s documentation covers the fundamentals, but a lot of the current issues are tied to how aggressive the automated systems have become.
The review purges, profile suspensions, verification failures, and fake listings are affecting plenty of legitimate businesses at the moment. Even small...
Mainly things like having the correct business categories, complete services/products, consistent contact details, proper location targeting, updated opening hours, good quality photos, review management, and making sure the profile is fully verified and active.
A lot of businesses create the...
It’s not a clear scam, but it’s not a guaranteed money-maker either. It’s just a platform, so results depend on your own traffic and effort. I’d be cautious, start small, and make sure you fully understand the costs and how you’ll actually get sales before committing.
To improve how a business appears on Google Search and Maps and attract more local customers, it’s important to have a properly set up and optimised Google Business Profile.
This can involve ensuring the listing is correctly created, going through the verification process, keeping the...
You’re not wrong
referrals are great, but they don’t always scale on their own.
From what you’ve said, it sounds like you’re in that in-between stage where you need something more consistent alongside them.
A couple of things that might help:
- Social media tends to work better as...
Good questions
worth understanding the basics before handing things over to developers.
For a solid intro, you might find platforms like or helpful, as they cover everything from domains to SEO in a simple way.
Also, following a few build-along tutorials (e.g. WordPress or Shopify) can give...
