Still have a question? Call 020 7167 8465 and you will speak to Marcus directly.

Marcus Lobow, our founder, writes or reviews every article. He has 10+ years in B2B marketing, seven of them in-house in facilities management and property. Where AI helps with research or a first draft, a senior marketer checks every fact and figure before it is published.

From named, linked sources such as Google, ONS, IAB UK and industry benchmark studies, and from our own research, such as our study of 95 UK B2B service firms. Our own client results always carry a note on how they were achieved.

Most weekdays. Articles follow a published topic plan covering SEO, AI search, Google Ads, web design, branding and the sectors we know best, so related guides link together.

Yes, with a credit and a link back to the original article. For our own research data, please link to the study article so readers can see the method and sample.
