Services That Help Small Businesses Grow

Finding decent marketing support as a small business owner is harder than it should be. Most agencies want a hefty retainer and a six-month commitment before they'll even look at your website. Most free advice online is either too generic or too overwhelming to actually act on.

I'm Ellie, a freelance marketing consultant based in Sussex, and I work with small business owners across the UK who need practical, affordable marketing support without the agency price tag. Whether you need a new website, help getting found on Google, a brand that actually reflects what you do, or just someone to tell you clearly where to start, this is what I offer.

The Marketing Power Hour

Choose What Your Business Needs Most Right Now:

A website that looks nice and a website that actually brings in customers are not the same thing. I design websites for small businesses that are built to do a job - mobile-friendly, SEO-optimised from day one, and written so your ideal customer immediately understands what you do and how to get in touch.

Perfect if: Your current website looks nice but isn't bringing in business

What you get:

  • Website designed to convert visitors into customers

  • Mobile-friendly and fast-loading

  • SEO-optimised from day one

If someone searches for what you offer on Google and your business doesn't appear, you're invisible to a customer who was already looking for you. I help small businesses across the UK get found on Google without the jargon, the confusion, or the eye-watering agency fees.

Perfect if: Your website exists but customers can't find it on Google

What you get:

  • SEO strategy that actually makes sense

  • Help getting found for searches that matter to your business

  • Regular updates in plain English, not technical jargon

Knowing you should be on social media and actually knowing what to post are two very different things. I help you build a simple social media strategy that fits around your life — one that brings in the right customers rather than just likes from people who'll never buy from you.

Perfect if: You're posting but not getting customers from social media

What you get:

  • Social media strategy that fits your time and budget

  • Content that speaks to your ideal customers

  • Platform advice - where should you be showing up

  • How to grow your community and turn followers into customers

Your branding is often the first impression a potential customer gets of your business. If it doesn't reflect the quality of what you actually do, it can put people off before they've read a single word. I help small businesses across the UK create professional branding they're genuinely proud of.

Perfect if: Your current branding looks homemade or doesn't feel right

What you get:

  • Logo design that works across all platforms

  • Brand guidelines you can actually use

  • Professional look that builds trust with customers

Sometimes you don't need a full service. You just need an hour with someone who actually knows what they're talking about. At £85, the Power Hour is a focused session where we tackle your biggest marketing challenge and you leave with a clear action plan you can act on straight away.

Perfect if: You're overwhelmed and don't know where to start with marketing

What you get:

  • 60-minute focused session on YOUR biggest challenge

  • Clear action plan you can implement immediately

  • Honest advice about what you actually need

If your website exists but isn't bringing in enquiries, something is wrong and it's usually fixable. A Website Health Check goes through your site in detail and tells you exactly what's holding you back, in plain English, so you know what to prioritise without wasting money guessing.

Perfect if: You have a website but it's not bringing in customers

What you get:

  • Complete analysis of what's broken (in plain English)

  • Step-by-step action plan to fix the problems

  • Follow-up call to walk through everything
