Think you need a massive marketing budget to beat the big national retailers on Google? Think again. 🏆

Last Thursday, there was a huge global launch in the mountain bike world for a highly anticipated new e-bike. Every major multi-million-pound cycling retailer and magazine scrambled to list it.

At the exact same time, my client, Back-on Track Bikes, added the bike to their new website using ProductDeck, the custom online store system I built.

We spent absolutely zero on ads or marketing. We just clicked "publish" and let the website do its thing.

Just four days later, I checked Google.

If you search for that bike locally in Bristol, my client is ranking at Number 2.

The only website beating them is Whyte Bikes, the actual manufacturer! My client is outranking every single national mega-retailer, just four days after launch.

It is absolute proof that you do not need to spend thousands on SEO agencies or Google Ads if the engine running your website is built properly in the first place. A fast, clean website that spoon-feeds Google exactly what it wants will win every time.

I wrote a quick post on the blog about exactly how this "David vs Goliath" win happened, and why the tech behind your online store actually matters.

Have you been putting off selling your products online because it all just seems like too much of a headache? 🤯

Usually, you get pointed towards massive systems like Shopify or WooCommerce. They are powerful tools, but for most small businesses, using them is like buying an articulated lorry to do your weekly shop at Tesco. They are complicated, they slow your website down, and they hit you with monthly fees for every little extra feature.

I got completely fed up with seeing my clients wrestle with these clunky systems, so I built my own.

Say hello to my new E-commerce & Online Store service! 🛒

I use a bespoke, custom-built system that sits right inside your website. It is blindingly fast, Google loves the SEO setup, and it's as easy to manage as writing a basic email.

Here is my pitch to you: I do absolutely everything.

I build the site, set up the secure checkout, and I will even upload your products and photos for you. I do the heavy lifting, then hand you the keys to a finished, working shop. Oh, and there are absolutely zero hidden monthly software fees to keep it running.

Whether you want a simple, searchable catalogue to show off your work, or a fully-fledged store taking card payments while you sleep, I can set it up without the usual stress.

Want to see how fast and clean it is? You can read more about it and play around with a live demo store over on my website:

SEO is dead. 🪦

Okay, maybe not dead dead, but it has changed so much that the old rules are basically useless.

Have you noticed? You Google something now, and instead of a list of websites to click on, there’s a massive AI-generated answer sitting right at the top.

That box is pushing the organic results (and your business) further down the page. Users aren't clicking links anymore; they are just reading the AI's answer and moving on.

If your strategy for 2026 is still just "chasing keywords" and trying to rank on a list, you are optimising for a ghost. 👻

It’s time to stop optimising for search engines and start optimising for answers. It’s called GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation), and if you want to generate leads this year, you need to understand it.

I broke down exactly what you need to change on your website to survive the shift.

"Is it just me, or is it really quiet out there?" 📉

I've heard this from so many business owners lately. It's easy to start spiralling and thinking you've forgotten how to do your job.

The answer is: It's not just you. It is quiet. Everywhere.

But the worst thing you can do is panic. The best thing you can do? Use this downtime to fix the stuff you usually ignore.

I've put together a list of 5 things you're probably getting wrong with your marketing, and how to fix them ready for 2026.

From ignoring your email list to hiding behind a corporate "We" on your website, have a read and see how many apply to you.

"So, how much is a website?" 🤔

It's the first question everyone asks, but the answer can be frustratingly vague. I've decided to change that.

I've just published a new blog post with a complete, transparent breakdown of my website pricing. No jargon, no hidden fees – just a simple "building block" approach so you can see exactly what you're paying for.

If you're thinking about a new website, this is for you.
