Small businesses in Buckinghamshire and North London often ask me:

“Should we run Google Ads or Meta Ads?”

The real question is… are you ready to run ads at all?

If your website, offer or audience isn’t clear, paid ads will just highlight the gaps faster.

Thinking about running Google Ads or Meta Ads?

Before you spend a single pound, check your foundations.

Clear goals.

Clear messaging.

Proper tracking.

Ads don’t fix weak positioning. They amplify it.

Here’s what to fix first 👇

Heard about Moltbook on the radio this morning. Asked my AI if he wanted to join and he said "We’ll happily file Moltbook under:
“fascinating experiment, zero action required” and move on 😄"

Article to read up about it from The Guardian What is Moltbook? The strange new social media site for AI bots.

What is Moltbook? The strange new social media site for AI bots A bit like Reddit for artificial intelligence, Moltbook allows AI agents – bots built by humans – to post and interact with each other. People are allowed as observers only

Digital clutter is real and it slows productivity more than people realise. The good news is that you can organise Dropbox quickly without breaking anyone else’s filing structure.
