If you’re looking to connect with local business owners in various industries around the city, gain many new clients, referral partners and of course increase brand awareness, then you could take advantage of some of the networking events that are held in Leeds. Events such as:

The above are a great place to start with building your contacts and exposing your brand to like-minded people. Not all events require a membership so it’s a risk-free way of seeing if it’s something that can help you.

By Francesca Taylor • September 30, 2026

If your business is not performing online and you don’t have the capacity to hire an in-house marketing team, you might consider outsourcing to a digital marketing agency. The job of a digital marketing agency is to get you found online through multistream avenues like SEO, PPC, CRO, social media ads, branding, and listings. However, not every digital marketing agency does the same thing, and not every agency works in the same way. So, realistically, what should you expect when you reach out to one? Let’s take a look:

PPC V SEO: Which is best for your business?

By Francesca Taylor • September 30, 2026

SEO and PPC are both fundamental components of a successful marketing strategy but they target audiences in critically different ways. SEO (search engine optimisation) is an ongoing process of improving a website’s visibility in organic (unpaid) search results through technical optimisation and trust signals. PPC (pay-per-click) is a form of paid advertising where companies bid to appear in sponsored positions at the top of the SERP (search engine results page). As the name suggests, you pay when someone clicks on the ad. Because PPC and SEO are so different, you might not know where to allocate your budget. So, let’s take a look at how each can benefit your business, and whether you will find more cost benefit in paid vs organic search.

By Daniel Bland • September 14, 2026

Managing your local marketing doesn’t have to mean sitting at a desk. With the Local Search app, you can stay on top of your business locations wherever your working day takes you. Reviews can arrive at any time, opening hours can change unexpectedly, and social posts may need a quick update before they’re published. You won’t always be near your laptop when these things happen. Waiting until you’re back at your desk can mean missing opportunities to respond to customers, increase engagement and keep your online presence up to date. For busy business owners, location managers and marketing teams, the Local Search app brings essential listing, reputation and social tools together in one convenient place. Instead of catching up later, you can take action when it matters. Whether you manage one location or several, the app makes everyday local marketing tasks easier to manage from your phone.
