From "I think I’ll just turn the ads off" to "I’ve got this."

I love working 1:1 with clients to take the confusion out of marketing - whether that’s Google Ads, SEO or content.

Clear, practical training that builds confidence and actually gets results.

Because marketing doesn’t need to feel like guesswork.

Who is Steph Baker Marketing?

Hello 👋 I’m Steph - marketing consultant, SEO strategist, and your go-to person when your marketing needs clarity, consistency and a bit more conversation-starting magic.

I work with small business owners and founders who are brilliant at what they do, but don’t have the time (or headspace) to figure out what’s actually working when it comes to their marketing.

Whether you need help driving more traffic to your website, turning browsers into buyers, or pulling together a proper strategy (instead of just posting on the fly) - I’m here for it.

🛠 I offer audits, action plans, ongoing consultancy and training - with a particular love for SEO, smart content, and websites that work.

If you’re tired of second-guessing your marketing or constantly reinventing the wheel, we should talk.

Outside of work, I’m happiest when I’m outdoors - running trails, cycling country lanes, paddleboarding with my family or heading off on mini adventures in the fresh air. I also believe strong coffee and a good view can fix most things ☕🌿

🚀 What is Schema? And Why Does It Matter for SEO?

Schema markup (also known as structured data) is a piece of code added to your website that helps search engines understand your content better. But what does that mean in practice?

👇 Here’s why schema is a game-changer for SEO:

✅ Enhances Search Results with Rich Snippets
Ever seen search results with ⭐ star ratings, FAQs, product prices, or event details? That’s schema at work! These rich snippets make your result stand out and attract more clicks.

✅ Boosts Click-Through Rate (CTR)
A more visually appealing and informative result = higher click-through rate. Schema helps users find exactly what they’re looking for, meaning more engaged traffic for your site.

✅ Provides Clearer Context to Google
Search engines love clarity - schema helps Google (and others) understand what your page is about, making it easier to rank for relevant searches.

✅ Essential for Local & E-Commerce SEO

Local businesses can benefit from LocalBusiness schema to display reviews, opening hours, and contact info.

E-commerce sites can use Product schema to show price, availability, and customer ratings right in search results.

✅ Optimizes for Voice Search
As more people ask Google Assistant and Alexa for answers, schema makes it easier for your content to be featured in voice search results.

✅ SEO Wins Without Changing Content
Unlike major SEO overhauls, schema markup improves how your content appears in search results without needing big changes to your website.

💡 Not sure if your site has schema set up? It’s one of the easiest SEO wins and yet most businesses don’t use it effectively.

Well, this is a bit awkward… ever schedule your last social post pre-Christmas break, fully intending to be back in January, and then somehow… it’s February? 🙃

Since my last post (which is now vintage - awks!), I’ve been deep in SEO audits, strategy sessions, and content planning, working with some fantastic new and retained clients.

Exciting things in the pipeline:

📢 A website workshop with Taunton Chamber - more info soon 👀
🔍 A much needed SEO update (because Google just can’t stop tweaking things)
🚀 A brand refresh in the works as I hit my 4 year business milestone!

Plus plenty of strategy, lead generation, and digital marketing magic happening behind the scenes!

So, that’s me caught up - what’s new with you?
