Open Mic Marketing
Get found. Then get noticed.
Get found means a website and a Google profile that put you in front of people searching nearby. Get noticed means posts and video ads that keep you in front of them. That's the whole job.
You already know you should be doing all of this. It isn't one evening's work — it's a few hours every week, indefinitely, because consistency is exactly what the algorithm rewards. That's the reason I do this.
-
Get found
A clean, fast website that works on a phone: what you sell, where you are, when you're open and how to reach you. I build it for free, host it and keep it updated. No website builder subscriptions, no half-finished page nobody maintains.
Go for Main act and I'll also set up and run your Google Business Profile, the listing that puts you on Google Maps, with photos, opening hours, a post each month and replies to your reviews. It's also what ChatGPT and Google's own AI read when someone asks them for a recommendation, so getting it right covers you there too.
Warm-up £35 a month · Main act £65 a month
-
Get noticed
Facebook and TikTok, run for you: about twelve posts a month, two of them short video ads. The algorithms reward accounts that keep showing up, which is why consistency beats clever. A page that posts every few days for a year will do more for you than one brilliant video and then silence.
Just want one video? I make one-off video ads too, with no contract.

Extras, just ask
An extra page, a menu refresh, a logo tidy-up, something needed in a rush: anything outside your plan, I'll quote you up front before I start. Nothing is added to your bill without you agreeing to it first.
I'll build your website for free.
Not a trial, not a stripped-back version. A real site, built for your business, at no cost. You pay a simple monthly fee to keep it live, hosted and maintained. That's the whole arrangement: I do well only as long as you do.

Why is the build free?
Because a one-off build pays me once, and I'd rather keep earning it for as long as you're with me.
It's a simple trade: I cover the build up front, you cover it back through the monthly plan, and the minimum term is however long that takes. The more you pay each month, the faster it's covered — which is why the bigger plans carry the shorter terms. No hidden fees, no balloon payment.
It also puts us on the same side of the table. If the site doesn't bring you work, you leave and I lose money — so I keep it fast, keep it ranking and keep it earning its place. After the minimum term it's rolling monthly, cancel any time with 30 days' notice.
How it actually goes.

A free review, no strings
I look at what you've got now — your Google listing, your socials, whether you turn up in local search and whether AI tools know you exist. You get an honest summary either way, whether you hire me or not.
-
A mock-up you can actually look at
Before you commit to anything, I build a version of your site and show it to you on screen. Much easier to judge something real than to imagine it from a description.
-
Live, then looked after
Your site goes live, your monthly plan starts, and I keep everything current. If something needs changing, you message me and I sort it.
The proof
La Mano Pasta.
La Mano Pasta makes fresh pasta by hand in Ashby, Scunthorpe. I built their website and I look after it every month.

Run a trade? Never miss an enquiry again. LeadFlowIt's a business expense
Website and marketing costs are normally an allowable business expense, so they reduce the profit you pay tax on. For a basic-rate sole trader, the 20% income tax saving alone brings the £65 Main act plan down to about £52 a month. Your accountant can confirm how it applies to you.
Find out where you currently stand.
Send me your business name and I'll check what a customer sees when they search for you — Google, Maps, social and whether AI assistants can find you. It's free, it takes me an hour, and there's no pitch attached unless you ask for one.
