    Lazy electrician 4 months and not finished but sends a bill

    It does depend on what the agreed outcomes for the work were in the first place. Just "doing some work" doesn't justify getting paid. Neither does "sending an invoice". Only if the work brings your agreed outcomes to completion, and the invoice accurately reflects this, should it be paid...

    £250 charge to migrate website hosting.

    I don't think £250 is outrageous. It is perhaps half a day's work, and you'd pay similar to any experienced engineer such as a plumber or electrician. Yes he can do it from his home, but the skills and experience needed to get migrations right are worth paying for. It's easy to stuff up a...

    How to find "backlinks" onto my site

    It's a good idea to combine the results from as many different tools as you can since they tend to all give different results (varying degrees of up-to-dateness). Ahrefs, SEMrush, Moz and Majestic are professional tools for this task.

    Client is Blackmailing Me

    They might not be legal but they are certainly tolerated by the payment processors. The chargeback processes are always tilted in favour of the buyer. Good luck with fighting the chargeback but I think you may need to resort to legal action.

    Add an extra line into your standard contract? Something like, "we build websites which are ready to launch and use, but we do not provide SEO services which are required to rank in search engines. We can recommend the following companies who provide this service" ... Doesn't solve your...

    What should I expect from and expect to pay for marketing my Websites

    First of all it's best to treat each of the three websites as a separate project. Because they have different audiences and two are B2C and the other B2B. To assess a digital marketing company, look at their longevity, reviews, trust, client list, case studies etc. Regarding not having it...

    Client map on home page?

    A. If you're not sure if it's a good idea, try an A/B/N test using Analytics Experiments. https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1745147?hl=en B. You probably don't need any consent from a legal point of view. But it's always nice to be asked. Think about how you'd feel if you appeared on...

    Large Traffic But No Sales?

    Well, it's a start, at least you're making money :) Sometimes traffic from Pinterest is driven by people looking for images to download rather than things to buy. Consider that possibility. Also make sure you have filtered out any spam Analytics traffic which can skew the data for small...

    Seo great Google maps listing terrible?

    It's not correct to say the nobody clicks paid ads. You might think you don't but studies show that even those who claim never to click paid ads actually do, quite a lot. Also keywords with a high commercial intent such as "plumbers near me" have far higher ad-click rates than keywords with a...

    Drop in position after switching to wordpress

    Google doesn't mind what engine compiles and delivers this content. It could be WordPress or it could be Simple CMS or anything else. Google does care about page speed because they know that slow-loading sites get fewer pageviews and higher bounce rates. WordPress can be very slow. There is a...

    business troubles

    Sounds like you need to get some arbitration or some kind of agreement between yourselves. In the meantime I would ask: When you say supporting the nursery, do you mean lending money to it? What are the terms on which the loans are made?

    Starting a new private hire mini bus business

    I know a little bit about the luxury minibus hire market. Here are some things I have learned: - It tends to be very seasonal with a big dip in the winter months; - You need to work out how you will keep the vehicle on the road for as many hours as possible, not standing idle in the yard - the...
