Episode Synopsis

Nick strips away the fluff and shows you a practical local marketing rhythm that still works —without dancing on social media.You’ll learn how to tune your Google Business Profile (GBP) and keep it alive with a weekly cadence that compounds results.What we cover:• Why GBP matters now: it’s where a huge number of local decisions begin—so keep it current.• The weekly rhythm: post a short update, add at least five fresh photos, answer new Q&As, and ensure services/categories are complete. Consider a tracking phone number to see exactly what GBP generates.Many firms see a lift in calls within a month.• Make it visible: use a Monday check-in to review progress and tighten the standard if friction repeats.• Mini case study: a three-team Surrey firm chose one local-marketing move, made it visible, and within four weeks saw the key number shift and hold.• Numbers to watch: pick one leading and one lagging measure tied to local marketing/GBP presence; discuss for ten minutes each Monday and agree one move before Friday.• Signals you’re on track: fewer surprises, quicker approvals, shorter meetings; the small behaviours repeat without reminders.By the end you’ll have:A simple GBP upkeep routine that compounds week by weekClarity on which leading/lagging metrics to check on MondaysA repeatable one-hour batching method for a whole month of contentTop 3 Actions to Take Away:1. Write one clear outcome for local marketing/GBP and post it where the team can see it.2.

Remove one blocker by Friday (e.g., assign a photo owner, template your weekly post, set Q&A alerts) and bake the fix into your standard.Download the templates & checklists ... https://westessex.actioncoach.co.uk/free-checklists/If you’d like my personal help — or want details of our “Thrive, Not Just Survive” 12-week business mastermind course — just email me at [email protected] visit: https://westessex.actioncoach.co.uk/thrive-mastermind/ Hosted on Acast.
