So pleased to launch the new House Buyer Bureau website 🎉🎉

Their goal was to create a future-proof website built on a solid foundation that would empower them with greater control and ultimately drive more leads. We absolutely love working with the HBB team - it's just a pleasure and exactly how an agency/brand relationship should be ❤️

Happy work anniversaries to this amazing bunch! 🥳

Mel Soutar 🥳🙌
Mel has been at the heart of the sales team for 11 years – training up junior members, supporting others and generally being a rock and font of knowledge for everyone in the team. Whilst she might speak with a nice southern accent, she is actually a secret Scouser! We love it when her dad calls from up North and she instantly switches to Scouse “Ey-up dad, g’wed”. She really is ‘sound as a pound’ and hopefully won’t get a ‘cob on’ when she reads we’ve revealed her Northern secret to the world!

Ollie Griffiths 🥳🙌
Ollie is a fab member of our SEO team and is just quite simply a lovely chap! He is crazy about Pompey FC and also music festivals – if he can’t get a ticket to Glasto, he will work as a volunteer and get the action that way! He's a massive Foals fan so nothing will get in the way of him seeing them play live! He is currently training for a marathon, and completed his first half marathon this year. If Pompey stays up this season, we think he’ll be the happiest man alive!

Alice Veitch 🥳🙌
Alice is a delight in our SEO team. She turned 30 last week and brought in a very tasty Biscoff vegan cake, which was delicious! She often goes to vegan events and food festivals, and when she’s not on the hunt for new recipes, she’ll either be gaming on her Switch, reading or at the gym, burning off the Biscoff cake. She also has the fastest-growing hair in the world of which we are all very jealous!

Chris Pitt 🥳🙌
Chris joined Vertical Leap many years ago in SEO, then made his way through Account Management and Marketing, eventually reaching the dizzy heights of Managing Director. And a great one he is too, although we know secretly he wishes he was up on stage at Glastonbury singing and playing his guitar. He is the stage manager at Victorious and we’re pretty sure he will one day just walk out on the stage in place of Sam Fender or someone and nick their spot!

What a fantastic day visiting our wonderful customer Allianz Stadium (formerly Twickenham Stadium), the home of English Rugby. It’s an incredibly impressive venue boasting the largest rugby union stadium in the world (a seating capacity of 82,000!), conference facilities, a museum, tour experiences, hotel, fitness centre, and education programmes 🥳

It was great to spend time with their brilliant marketing team, and we even got to walk down the tunnel and visit pitch side! 🏉

Happy work anniversaries to these fab 5 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉Thank you so much for your continued hard work and commitment to helping our customers supercharge their search marketing campaigns! Read on below to get to know them a bit more…

🍵 Paul Andrews 🍵
Paul is a PPC specialist and two words come to mind when we think of him: Coffee and films - he is fanatical about both! He likes a good horror or Marvel film and he’s actually an incredible artist drawing the Marvel figures too. And as for coffee, just say words to him like ‘blend’, ‘puck’, ‘tamper’, ‘crema’ and ‘body’ and you’ll be educated beyond belief by the time you’ve reached the kitchen to make your usual crappy instant!

🙏 Marie Sinclair 🙏
Marie heads up our account management team. We’ll never forget her joining as she literally had one day in the office and then we went into lockdown so we then didn’t get to meet her again for a whole year! Marie loves spending time on family walks with the dog and also going to breweries to try different beers (apparently she really knows her stuff on the beer front!). She also enjoys hot yoga where she can sweat out any stresses of the day, and probably the beer!

🏂 Gemma Scarth 🏂
Gemma is one of our Senior SEO specialists. She is a very smiley and warm character and always full of positive vibes. Her biggest passion is snowboarding - she even spent 2 months working out in the Alps so that she could get out on the slopes in the mornings and evenings – one of the perks of working at Vertical Leap! Rumour has it though that on her most recent trip, she went over to the dark side and put skis on instead 😯When she’s not floating down mountains, she’ll be floating around somewhere in Hampshire on her paddleboard.

🐴 Henry Carless 🐴
Henry is a PPC specialist and data scientist – seriously one of the most intelligent people you will ever meet! He recently became a dad and we’re pretty sure that by the time she is 2 she will know how to set up and maintain an allotment, live self-sufficiently, brew beer, ride a horse and solve any analytical problem without a calculator! Check out his LinkedIn profile pic of him and his beautiful wife on horses on their wedding day ❤️

📕Sameen Ahmed 📕
Sameen is an SEO specialist. She absolutely loves books (if you were wondering what the red square emojis are!) so spends lots of her time reading and even has many pictures of book shops (we’re thinking this is where her hobby possibly turns into obsession😊). Any book shop customers will automatically be sent her way as she is just so passionate about them. She also loves traveling and exploring new places and is learning Japanese - hats off Sameen!

HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to these 3 legends James Cooper, James Faulkner & Matthew Holmes on their work anniversaries 🎈🎉❤️

James Cooper - 9 years 👋🎉👋
James has been bringing new business on board for 9 years and is great at building long-term relationships with customers, some of whom he has worked with for the whole time he's been at Vertical Leap! He enjoys a gym session or two, and has been known to drive from Portsmouth to South Wales at 4 am to climb a mountain and back home in one day! He apparently has his sights on Kilimanjaro so you'd best start hitting that gym hard Cooper!

James Faulkner - 13 years 🕺💥🕺
James has headed up the Vertical Leap PPC team for 13 years, more recently moving into a group-level role to share his expertise with the other agencies in our group. He loves camping, fishing and trazzing around on his motorbike so outside of work you'll find him in a tent in the New Forest or out on the Solent catching fish - well, when we say 'catching' we've never actually seen any proof, we only have his fishy word!

Matthew Holmes - 3 years 🤩🦾🤩
It has flown by, but Matthew has now been with us in our design team for 3 years. In that time he has gone from strength to strength and loves to get his teeth into big projects. Whatever you do, don't take him on at golf without playing off a very small handicap, be warned! Outside of that, he's a huge West Ham fan and, as we've found out recently, knows A LOT about darts!

Generative AI is reshaping the search landscape. Google is showing AI Overviews more frequently as it loses search market share, supposedly to ChatGPT and other AI alternatives. So, how do you optimise content to rank in AI Overviews, ChatGPT and other AI tools? 💡
