Hi, I'm Phil 👋

I help local businesses get found, trusted, and chosen on Google — without the jargon.

🧠 The Story

Most local businesses aren't far off.

They've got a good service.
They've got happy customers.

They're just not showing up properly when people search.

That's where I come in.

I spent time working with the Google Digital Garage in Belfast, helping local businesses understand how people actually find them online.

And the biggest takeaway?

It's rarely complicated.

Small fixes → big difference.

Better visibility → more calls → more work.

These days, I'm usually working on this stuff with a coffee in hand… and my dog Lillie nearby 🐶 (who's convinced she's part of the business).

No fluff. No jargon. Just what actually works.

👉 Lillie — Head of Morale 🐶

Officially: Head of Morale

Unofficially: keeps me company while I help businesses get found on Google.

Most days it's just me, a laptop, and Lillie making sure I don't take things too seriously.

Turns out businesses don't need complicated strategies…

just someone who understands what actually works.

🔥 What I Focus On

✔ Getting your business visible on Google

✔ Helping you stand out when people find you

✔ Turning searches into real enquiries

Most of the time, it's not about doing more…

It's about fixing what's already there.

💥 How People Start

Most businesses start with a quick visibility check.

From there, we either fix what's missing or build something more consistent.
