Get found more easily by people nearby.

I help purpose-led organisations and small businesses improve the factors that shape local visibility, so they are easier to find when nearby people are searching for what they offer.

Google Business Profiles &
Bing Places

I optimise the first place most look.

I understand what influences local visibility, and I use competitor research to identify ways to improve your Google Business Profile/Bing Place. From there, I create a practical plan to strengthen your local search presence.

Local Business
Directories & Listings

I make sure you appear in the right listings.

Local business directories can help people find your business and support local SEO when set up properly. I can manage your listings so they are accurate, consistent, and working in your favour.

Reviews

I help you optimise your reviews workflow.

Reviews are an important part of local digital marketing, but knowing where to focus can be difficult. I can manage your review workflow to help you generate reviews where they will have the most impact.

Local Content & Technical SEO

I optimise your website for local searches.

I carry out keyword research and technical audits with local search in mind, helping optimise your website for local traffic while using competitor analysis to uncover keyword and content gaps.

How it works.

I don't have a rigid process - I adapt to what you need. But here's a rough idea of what you can expect.

About me

Since graduating with a business degree in 2016, I’ve built broad digital marketing experience across sectors including professional services, construction and trades, EdTech, SaaS, and financial services.

​

Many of the organisations I’ve worked with have been purpose-led in some way, focused on helping people, supporting communities, or providing services that make a meaningful difference. That experience has shaped my approach to marketing: practical, trustworthy, and focused on helping organisations communicate their value more clearly.

​

Most recently, I led the marketing department at a digital marketing agency specialising in local SEO, helping businesses improve their visibility and grow in competitive markets.

​

I went freelance in late 2025 to offer flexible, practical marketing support for purpose-led organisations and small businesses that need both clear direction and hands-on help.
