I have been working with an architectural company based in Ipswich and London since 2015.

I also provide them with regular services:
- Writing news articles for their website
- Creating content and graphics for their social media pages
- Building connections and potential partners on LinkedIn for one of their Partners
- Editing videos

Below are some examples.

“We have a great website, but no one’s finding it.”

Google doesn’t just rank websites because they exist, it ranks them because they tick lots of little boxes that can get overlooked: page titles, alt tags, meta descriptions, loading speeds, mobile-friendliness, reviews etc.

Most of this is stuff you can actually tweak yourself (for free).

If your website isn’t showing up when your customers search, follow the steps from my latest article on my website: https://made4thetrade.co.uk/industry-chat/

If you're not sure how to check or spot something missing from your site, let me know.
