My business turned 10 years old last month! I can’t believe how fast it’s whizzed by and it's changed so much along the way. This is something I really love about running my own business, being able to change the business to suit how my life has changed over the years. When I started my business, I had a 11 and 3 year old, now my children are 13 and 21 ! I’ve learnt to streamline things and focus on what I really enjoy.
Some of my biggest supporters have been other local businesses ran by women. Having someone to bounce ideas off or just have a moan is so valuable. I met Sophie on Instagram 5 years ago when I messaged her about a sweet engagement photo she had posted. We have swapped messages ever since as we have a very similar target audience. Family and newborn photography in Southampton goes perfectly with my family and baby hand casting and wedding photography goes perfectly with my holding hands castings in Southampton. I love Sophie’s natural style as a photographer, from beautiful relaxed newborn photos to romantic beach shots.
So when she posted about her new SEO business, I messaged her straight away. I knew she had always worked really hard on the SEO aspect of her business, so I wasn’t surprised when she took it further with more training and development in this area.
So I took the plunge and asked her to do the SEO on mine and my husband’s website. My husband is also self-employed and runs his own oven and carpet cleaning called All Clean ovens and carpets in Southampton.
Of course I got her to start on mine first! Sophie knew my target audience well and was so easy to work with. After just a week my google ranking had improved significantly with some key search terms, I had gone up five places on google.
This business goes so well with her photography business, working with other creative suits her so well. She just got where I wanted to go with my business and what I needed to do to get there.
I would 100 percent recommend her to any small business wanting to grow and develop their website and presence online.
