What is a digital marketing funnel?

A digital marketing funnel is the journey someone takes from first discovering your business online to becoming a loyal customer who recommends you to others.

It helps you understand what your audience needs at each stage, so you can create marketing that moves them forward.

🔍 Awareness – People discover your business through search engines, social media, ads or word of mouth.
💡 Consideration – They compare options, read reviews, visit your website and decide whether they trust you.
✅ Conversion – They take action, whether that's making an enquiry, booking a call or placing an order.
🤝 Retention – A great experience keeps customers coming back.
⭐ Advocacy – Happy customers leave reviews, refer others and become ambassadors for your business.

A digital marketing funnel isn't about selling at every opportunity. It's about giving people the right information at the right time, so choosing your business becomes the natural next step.

ChatGPT Ads are officially live in the UK 🌱

They show up beneath ChatGPT responses, matched to the whole conversation rather than a single keyword.

Ready to replace Google or Meta? Not quite…

Arthur breaks down how they work, what they cost, and whether your business should be testing them 👇

"Boost Post" and PPC often get grouped together, but they're designed to achieve different things 👇

Boosting is essentially a simplified version of advertising. It's quick to set up and can help increase the reach of content that's already performing well. For businesses looking to gain extra visibility or engagement, it's often a useful tool.

PPC (Pay-Per-Click) campaigns, like built in Meta Ads Manager or Google Ads, offer significantly more control.

With PPC you can:
✅ Build audiences based on demographics, interests and behaviour
✅ Retarget previous website visitors
✅ Optimise for leads, purchases or enquiries
✅ Split test creatives and messaging
✅ Monitor detailed performance data
✅ Scale campaigns based on results

Boosting isn't "bad", it's simply designed for a different purpose.

If your objective is measurable business growth rather than vanity metrics, a properly planned PPC campaign will usually deliver better long-term results.

Last week, Kath got sprout and about at the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta 🎈

Bright and early start at the Business Breakfast to watch the ascent (well worth losing the lie-in for!) catching up with Lisa from Your Marketing Sidekick, Kelly from Heart Radio, and some fab Bristol businesses along the way.

Then the Fiesta itself, and (once again) it did not disappoint. Hundreds of balloons taking off together, and hundreds of thousands of people from Bristol and beyond, all in one field for the same reason.

Weekends like this are exactly why we're proud to call this city home. Proper Bristol magic 💚

If your social media reporting starts and ends with likes and follower growth, you're only seeing part of the picture.

Social media ROI is the return you receive from the time, budget and resources invested in your social activity.

The process is simpler than many businesses think:

✅ Set clear goals before you start.
Whether that's sales, leads, website traffic or brand awareness, your ROI depends on what success looks like for your business.

✅ Track the right metrics.
Focus on metrics that align with your objective, not just vanity metrics.

✅ Measure your investment.
Include ad spend, software costs and even your team's time.

✅ Calculate your return.
The standard formula is:
(Return − Investment) ÷ Investment × 100

✅ Use the right tools.
Google Analytics, UTM tracking and platform analytics all help you understand where results are coming from.

Most importantly, use the data to improve future campaigns rather than simply reporting on them.

The goal isn't collecting numbers, it's making better marketing decisions 💡

Google reviews do more than build trust with potential customers... they can also support your local SEO.

While reviews aren't the only factor Google considers, the quality, quantity and recency of your reviews can all contribute to your business's visibility in local search results and Google Maps.

The good news? Building a strong review profile doesn't require complicated tactics. Consistently asking happy customers for feedback and responding to reviews can go a long way towards strengthening your online presence.

New month, new Instagram features 👀

You can reorder your grid after posting, and add individual captions to carousel slides, two small updates that make a big difference to how your profile actually shows up.

More control over first impressions means more chances to turn visitors into followers, and followers into customers 🌱

PPC has a reputation for being complicated.

Between keyword targeting, bidding strategies, audience settings, conversion tracking and ongoing optimisation, it's easy to see why many businesses turn to specialists to help maximise results and avoid wasted spend.

What makes PPC so powerful is its flexibility:
✅ You decide exactly how much you spend with daily or monthly budget limits
✅ You can target specific locations, audiences and search terms to reach the right people at the right time
✅ You only pay when someone actively clicks on your ad
✅ You gain valuable insights into what customers are searching for and what messaging drives action
✅ Campaigns can start small and scale as your business grows

Unlike SEO, which builds momentum over time, PPC can generate visibility and leads almost immediately. That's why it's often an effective option for businesses launching new services, promoting time-sensitive offers or looking to generate enquiries quickly.

The key isn't simply having a bigger budget.
It's having the right strategy behind it 💡
