I’m Mark Flanighan. I help UK small businesses turn their websites into genuine assets — content that ranks, earns trust, and converts the reader who’s still deciding.
I’ve spent years working in SEO. What I’ve come to understand is that the businesses pulling ahead aren’t the ones with the cleverest technical setup — they’re the ones with the best content. Genuinely useful, expertly written material that earns the reader’s trust before they’ve even made contact.
In-depth guides and expert articles that build credibility with Google and prospective customers simultaneously.
How I approach itA content-first approach connecting technical foundations to a coherent plan for businesses wanting clarity.
