    Google Ads optimisation

    Thanks for the reply. That’s just the cost to the management company. We pay around £500 to Google. We do get good responses and it’s our most effective form of advertising but I’m concerned that we are paying too much for monthly tweaks.

    Google Ads optimisation

    Good question which I was also asking. They say they tweak things every month. The landing pages they produced were very obviously written using ChatGPT so I've tidied those myself. They argue that constant tweaking is needed but then I guess they would say that.

    Google Ads optimisation

    We're paying a company around £400 a month to manage our two Google Ads campaigns, and I'm doubting how helpful it is. A quick search came up with an interesting post from Google suggesting that AI will help with this. Does anyone have any experience or advice, please? Thanks Phil

    Thoughts on marketing a car sales and service business

    Thanks for the replies. Sorry for sounding thick but what are PPC and GBP? With regards to car sales, I think we are fairly well sorted with AutoTrader etc, plus we do actually sell cars through social media. It's the servicing which needs work. Cheers Phil

    Thoughts on marketing a car sales and service business

    Hi all Yesterday, I had a phone consultation with someone at Tony Robbins' organisation, which was useful. One thing that struck me was he said businesses should be investing 10 percent of their revenue in marketing, and expect to get double that back. That sounds a bit simplistic as surely...

    Suggestions for improving website

    Hi, I thought it would make sense to ask for thoughts on our website BEFORE we revamp it. Otherwise it'll be harder to incorporate any suggestions. So, here's the current site: <deleted> Any constructive comments would be very welcome. Thanks in advance. Phil

    Partner wants to buy me out

    Hi, a while ago I posted here when my partner wanted to leave the business, and I got some very helpful replies. A lot has changed and he is now offering to buy me out, paying me a monthly sum for a number of years. The business at present has little value, so he is being generous. He’s younger...

We had a good chat today and the crucial thing for both of us is to remain friends, as we are very close. I think we are going to go with his plan of resigning as director and relinquishing his...

    Partner wants to leave limited company

    Thanks for the replies, which are helpful. I guess there is the legal issue, which seems clear cut, but also the moral one. As a friend, he’s walking away from the situation scott free. I put my own money into the business, whereas he hasn’t. In hindsight, an agreement would have made sense…
