Your website is appearing in more Google searches, but fewer people are clicking through. What is going on?

Google’s results are changing, including AI answers that can give people information before they visit a website. But that is only one possible reason. Your site might also be appearing for broader searches, or your most valuable pages may be losing clicks.

Our new article explains what to check in Search Console, why enquiries matter more than traffic alone, and what service businesses can learn from news publishers diversifying their income.

SEO or Google Ads — where should a removal company spend first?

It’s one of the questions we hear most often from removal companies.

If you need enquiries quickly, Google Ads can give you immediate visibility.

If you want to build a longer-term source of enquiries across the towns and services you cover, SEO can become a very valuable asset.

But the answer isn’t always one or the other.

In our latest guide, we look specifically at the removals industry and compare:

✅ Speed
✅ Long-term value
✅ Lead quality
✅ Budget control
✅ Local visibility
✅ When Ads should come first
✅ When SEO should come first
✅ When you might be better fixing the website before spending more on either

We’ve also included some real-world removals data and practical examples of how a marketing budget could be split depending on the situation.

The way UK service businesses generate enquiries is changing.

Customers are no longer following one simple route from Google to a website. They may now find a business through:

Google Maps
AI search results
Online reviews
Paid adverts
Social media
Recommendations
The company website

The businesses most likely to succeed will be those that connect all of these touchpoints and make it easy for customers to trust them and get in touch.

Our latest article explains what is changing, why it matters and what service businesses should do next.

🤖 How AI Has Changed Google Reviews & Local SEO

Google's AI is becoming smarter every day. It's no longer just counting how many reviews your business has or looking at your star rating. AI can now analyse the words customers use, identify common themes, and understand sentiment to help determine which businesses appear in local search results.

That means authentic, detailed customer reviews have never been more important.

If you're still focusing solely on collecting 5-star ratings, it may be time to rethink your review strategy.

Our latest article explores:
✔ How AI interprets customer reviews
✔ Why review quality now matters more than ever
✔ The impact on local SEO rankings
✔ Practical tips for businesses wanting to stay ahead

🚨 Big changes coming to Google Ads in September 2026 — is your business ready?

Google has officially confirmed that Dynamic Search Ads (DSA) are being retired. From September, if you're still running them, Google will automatically upgrade your campaigns to their new AI-powered system — AI Max for Search.

That might sound straightforward. But based on what happened during the last major Google Ads migration, businesses that let Google handle it automatically often saw weeks of performance instability and wasted budget. Those that prepared in advance didn't.

Here's what you need to know:

✅ The change affects DSA campaigns, Automatically Created Assets, and campaign-level broad match settings

✅ Standard Search campaigns with keyword-level targeting are NOT being forced over

✅ The voluntary migration window is open right now — you have until August to do it on your terms

⚠️ If your conversion tracking isn't set up correctly, AI Max will be working with bad data — and your results will show it.

We've written a full, plain-English guide covering exactly what's changing, who's affected, and the six steps you should take before the deadline.
