3 Simple Fixes to Boost Your Marketing Fast

If your marketing feels messy, you most likely don’t need a total overhaul. Often it is just a few smart fixes that create momentum. Here are three simple, no-jargon improvements you can make this week to attract more of the right customers and turn interest into action.

Fix 1: Make your message and Call To Action (CTA) unmistakably clear

Why it matters: Confused visitors don’t convert. A single, strong message and next step will lift enquiries quickly.

Do this today:

- Put a plain-English headline at the top of your homepage that says what you do and for whom. Example: “Marketing made simple for UK small businesses.”

- Add one primary CTA across your site and profiles. Example: “Take the Free Diagnostic.”

- Add 2i3 trust signals near the CTA: “250+ UK small businesses audited,” a short testimonial, or partner logos.

- Remove competing CTAs and clutter from your hero section.

Result: Higher conversion from the traffic you already have.

Fix 2: Capture leads and follow up automatically

Why it matters: Most small businesses get interest but lose it by not capturing details or following up.

Do this this week:

- Put a simple lead form on key pages: name + email + one dropdown for interest.

- Offer a helpful freebie on submission (e.g., “30-Day Quick Wins Checklist”) and send it immediately by email.

- Set up a 3-email nurture (plain text is fine):

1. Deliver the resource + your one-liner + CTA to diagnostic.

2. 3 quick wins they can do now + short proof point (e.g., “Clients typically spot 3-5 quick wins in their first month.”).

3. Invite to take the free diagnostic and book a short call if they want help.

Result: You turn casual interest into warm conversations, on autopilot.

Fix 3: Show up consistently with simple, repeatable content

Why it matters: Inconsistent posting leads to feast-or-famine sales. A light, weekly rhythm keeps you top-of-mind.

Do this every week (under 60 minutes):

- Post 3 times covering:

- Problem → solution tip (education)

- Proof → short win, testimonial, or before/after

- Prompt → ask a question and invite replies

- Reuse one post as a quick email to your list.

- Use one WhatsApp note to yourself with updates or wins; turn it into a post.

Result: Consistent visibility that builds trust and drives enquiries.

Mini-examples by business type

- Trades (electrician, plumber): “Before/after” photos + “3 safety checks to do annually” + “Free diagnostic to prioritise your local marketing.”

- Retail/Salon: “New season arrivals/services” + “Customer spotlight” + “Join our list for monthly offers” + “Take the diagnostic to see your top 3 wins.”

- Professional services: “5 mistakes that delay decisions” + short case result + invite to “Free diagnostic to structure your marketing.”

- Start-up: “What we learned from our first 10 customers” + quick explainer of your offer + “Free diagnostic to focus your next 90 days.”

Quick checklist

- One clear headline and one CTA everywhere.

- Lead form + simple freebie + 3-email follow-up.

- 3 posts per week: educate, prove, prompt.
