Your guide to this report

You've just received a Website Intelligence Report.
Here's exactly how to use it.

This report audits your website across five dimensions — Search, Design, Brand, Competition, and Growth. You don't need to be a marketing expert to use it. This page will walk you through what everything means, where to start, and what to do next.

Where to Start
Follow this order — it's designed so each step builds on the last
1

Start here — read the Dashboard

The Dashboard gives you the five headline scores and the "Top 3 Actions This Week" card. These are the most important things to know. You don't need to read the full report to act on these three recommendations.

2

Open the dimension with the lowest score first

The score rings on the Dashboard are colour-coded. Red or orange means urgent. Click "Open →" on the lowest-scoring dimension and go to its Overview tab. Read the summary and the three Priority Actions — those are your immediate next steps.

3

Use the tabs inside each dimension to go deeper

Each dimension has multiple tabs — for example, Search has Overview, Technical, Content, Keywords, and more. You don't need to read all of them. The Overview tab is the summary. The other tabs are there when you want the full detail on a specific problem.

4

Use the AI Prompt tab to take action immediately

Each dimension ends with an "AI Prompt" tab. This contains a pre-filled brief you can copy and paste directly into Claude, ChatGPT, or any AI tool. It will generate ready-to-use content — whether that's an SEO-optimised page, a redesign specification, or a marketing campaign.

5

Work through each dimension in priority order

Once you've addressed the most urgent dimension, repeat the process for the next. The Dashboard "action grid" at the bottom shows the top quick wins for each area — use this as your running checklist.

6

Share specific sections with the relevant person

You don't need to share the whole report. If you have a web developer, send them to the Search and Design tabs. If you have a marketing team, send them to Brand and Growth. Each tab is self-contained and designed to brief a specialist directly.

What the Scores Mean
Every dimension is scored out of 100. Here's how to interpret the colours.
0–39
Critical
Serious problems that are actively costing you visibility, credibility, or customers. Act within 30 days.
40–59
Needs Work
Below industry standard. You are behind competitors and losing ground. Plan to fix within 60–90 days.
60–79
Average
Functional but not competitive. You won't stand out. Good foundation to build from — focus on raising to 80+.
80–100
Strong
Above average. You are ahead of most competitors in this dimension. Maintain and look for the next area to improve.
What Each Dimension Covers
Plain English explanations — no jargon

Search — Can people find you on Google?

This measures how visible your website is when someone searches for what you do. It covers the technical setup of your site, the quality of your page content, how well your pages are structured, how trusted your site is, and whether you're targeting the right search terms.

Think of it as: if a potential customer searched "corporate culture coach UK" right now, would they find you? A low score means the answer is probably no.

Design — Does your site look the part?

This assesses whether your website's visual presentation matches the quality and price point of your service. It covers layout and structure, visual identity, colour choices, typography, and animation. A great service with a poor-looking site loses credibility before a visitor reads a word.

Think of it as: if someone arrived at your site with no prior knowledge of you, would the design make them trust you with a significant investment?

Brand — Are you saying the right things, consistently?

This looks at whether your brand communicates clearly and consistently across your website. It covers the tone and quality of your writing, how visible you are across digital channels, how well you're positioned against competitors, and whether the experience feels joined-up.

Think of it as: does your website make it obvious why someone should choose you over a competitor — and does it say that confidently?

Compete — How do you compare to your competitors?

This maps your position in the market against your direct competitors. It looks at what they do well, where they're vulnerable, what gap you could own, and whether you're differentiated enough for a buyer to choose you over them.

Think of it as: if a potential customer looked at your site and a competitor's side by side, what would make them pick you — and is that obvious?

Growth — Is your site set up to win new business?

This evaluates whether your site has the infrastructure to attract visitors and convert them into enquiries. It covers your ideal customer profile, your traffic strategy, your conversion copy, and the metrics you should be tracking to know what's working.

Think of it as: beyond people who already know you, is your website actively generating new leads? A low score means it probably isn't — and here's why.
How to Use the AI Prompt Tabs
The fastest way to turn this report into action

What is an AI Prompt tab?

At the end of each dimension (Search, Design, Brand, Compete, Growth) there is a tab called "AI Prompt". This contains a pre-filled brief — a set of specific instructions already populated with the findings from your audit.

You can copy this brief and paste it directly into an AI tool (Claude at claude.ai, ChatGPT at chat.openai.com, or similar) to generate ready-to-use output — an SEO-optimised page, a redesign specification, a brand positioning document, or a marketing campaign.

  1. Click the "AI Prompt" tab inside any dimension panel (e.g. Search → AI Prompt)
  2. Read through the brief — all the fields are pre-filled based on your audit findings. You can edit any field before using it.
  3. Copy the entire card and paste it into your AI tool of choice
  4. Add one instruction at the end — for example: "Write the complete page content following this brief exactly" or "Build this as a complete single-file HTML page"
  5. The output will be specific to your business — not a generic template, because the brief already contains your context, your keywords, your audience, and your goals
Common Questions
Straightforward answers
Do I need to fix everything at once?
No. The report is designed to be worked through progressively. Start with the three actions in the "Top 3 Actions This Week" card on the Dashboard. These are the highest-leverage moves — doing just those three things will make a measurable difference before you tackle anything else. Then work through each dimension in order of lowest score.
I'm not technical — can I still act on this?
Yes. Most of the priority actions in this report are content and strategy changes, not technical ones. The AI Prompt tabs generate ready-to-use content that you can hand to a web developer or use directly. The technical items (like adding schema markup or fixing meta descriptions) have step-by-step instructions in the relevant tabs.
What does a "locked" tab mean?
Some dimensions may show a locked overlay when you click them. This means that dimension was not included in the report you received. Each dimension — Search, Design, Brand, Compete, and Growth — can be purchased individually or as a full combined report. If you'd like to unlock a locked dimension, click the "Unlock" button inside that panel to request access.
How was this report created?
This report was generated by crawling and analysing your live website alongside a selection of your direct competitors. The scoring is based on industry benchmarks for each dimension — Technical SEO standards, UX and design best practices, brand positioning frameworks, competitive market analysis, and growth metrics. The findings and recommendations are specific to your site, not generated from a generic template.
How long will these improvements take?
It depends on the dimension. Search improvements take 4–12 weeks to show results in Google — the changes are quick to make but search engines take time to re-index. Design changes are visible immediately. Brand and copy changes are immediate. Competitive positioning changes are ongoing. Each dimension's Roadmap tab gives a phased timeline specific to your site.
Who should I share this report with?
You can share the full report or specific sections. Suggested routing: the Dashboard and this How to Use page for anyone senior who needs the overview. The Search tab for your web developer or SEO agency. The Design tab for your designer or developer. The Brand tab for your marketing team or copywriter. The Growth tab for your sales or marketing lead.
How accurate are these scores?
Each score is calculated against industry benchmarks for that dimension — W3C technical standards for SEO, established UX heuristics for Design, brand positioning frameworks for Brand, and so on. They are not arbitrary ratings; they reflect measurable gaps. However, no automated scoring system captures every nuance — treat the scores as a directional indicator of where effort should be focused, not as an absolute grade. A score of 22 in Search means there are critical, fixable structural issues — that much is objective.
What data sources were used?
The report is built by crawling your live website (all public pages), analysing the HTML source code, evaluating the site against technical SEO standards, reviewing competitors' public websites using the same methodology, and cross-referencing with publicly available keyword and traffic estimates. No third-party accounts (like Google Analytics or Search Console) were accessed — the audit is based entirely on what a search engine or prospective client sees when they visit your site.
How does this compare to a full agency audit?
A traditional agency audit typically costs £3,000–£10,000 and takes 2–4 weeks. This report covers the same ground across more dimensions (most agency audits focus on one — usually SEO or design, rarely both). The trade-off: an agency audit may include bespoke user testing, heatmaps, or interviews that this report doesn't. However, for identifying what's broken, what to fix first, and where the biggest ROI opportunities sit — this delivers 90% of the strategic value at a fraction of the cost and turnaround time.

Tip

Always start with Overview

The Overview tab in each dimension is the summary. The other tabs are the detailed evidence. You only need to go deeper if you want to understand the full reasoning.

The a licensed proprietary methodology licence is the most differentiating asset on the site but is mentioned only once. A named methodology section with an external validation link builds authority and separates this coach from generalists.

Revenue Currently Invisible to Your Business

Conservative modelling based on 500 monthly organic visits post-migration, a 2% discovery call conversion rate, and 30% close rate at £8,000 average engagement value. This is revenue from organic search alone — LinkedIn, referrals, and email are additive.

Range reflects assumptions about traffic ramp-up speed and conversion rates. Actual results depend on content investment and sales process.

Google Sites Is the Glass Ceiling
The site has genuine commercial potential — a credible MD-to-coach story, a licensed methodology (a licensed proprietary methodology), and authentic testimonials. But the Google Sites platform is actively blocking visibility across every dimension. The single highest-ROI decision is migration to a proper CMS, after which the existing content quality will immediately surface in search and convert far better.

36Design Score

Structurally Weak — Strong Content, Poor Container

The site carries genuine credibility signals — compelling testimonials, authentic photography, and clear service descriptions. But the design actively undermines the premium positioning. The magenta accent reads consumer/lifestyle, the static layout communicates no sophistication, and the absence of any motion means the site feels like a brochure from 2015 rather than a coaching authority.

1

Replace the Accent Colour

Change magenta/pink to deep navy (#1a2744) or charcoal (#2d2d2d) as the primary authority colour with a muted gold (#c9963a) accent. This single change elevates perceived price point more than any other single action.

Impact: Immediate brand authority signal to every corporate visitor

2

Upgrade the Typography System

Replace PT Sans with a premium pairing: Playfair Display (headings) + Inter (body). This communicates that the work is sophisticated — PT Sans reads as a utility font, not a premium brand.

Impact: Perceived expertise premium — typography is the fastest credibility signal after colour

3

Add Scroll Animations

Add scroll-reveal animations to section headings, testimonial cards, and the service description blocks. On migration, implement using AOS.js (free, 1-line include) or CSS @keyframes with IntersectionObserver. Zero animations currently means the site reads as static HTML.

Impact: Dwell time and brand experience — signals investment in client presentation

What the Site Does Well
Strengths to preserve in the redesign

Strong Testimonial Copy

Existing testimonials communicate genuine transformation. The language is specific and outcome-focused — preserve and amplify these on migration.

Clean Photography

The profile photography is professional and authentic. The natural, non-corporate style is a differentiator — avoid replacing with stock imagery.

Clear Service Structure

Corporate vs. small business segmentation is clearly communicated. The navigation logic works — it just needs a visual upgrade, not restructuring.

Layout & Page Pattern
How structure signals — or undermines — premium positioning

The Pattern Problem

The site uses a basic vertical scroll pattern with no visual grammar between sections. There is no above-the-fold social proof, no framework/process visualisation, and no split-hero structure that communicates editorial authority. A corporate MD visiting for the first time sees a brochure, not a system.

No Above-Fold Social Proof
Critical

Trust is not established at entry

The hero section leads with a headline and photo. There are no client logos, no testimonial pull-quotes, and no outcome statistics visible before the fold.

Add a proof strip immediately below the hero: 3 client logos (or sectors if confidential) + one short testimonial pull-quote. Position above the fold on all screen sizes.
No Process / Methodology Visual
Critical

The a licensed proprietary methodology method is invisible

The coaching methodology is the core differentiator but there is no visual representation of how it works. Competitors use step diagrams, process wheels, or numbered frameworks to communicate expertise at a glance.

Create a 3–5 step visual of the a licensed proprietary methodology coaching process. Even a simple numbered list with icons communicates more sophistication than prose alone.
Visual Identity & Aesthetic
Does the look match the calibre of the work?

The Identity Gap

The visual identity sits in an uncomfortable middle ground — not premium enough to command B2B enterprise prices, not energetic enough to appeal to a consumer audience. The magenta accent is the primary culprit, pulling the brand toward lifestyle rather than corporate authority.

Magenta Accent Misaligned with Corporate Positioning
Critical

Colour communicates category, not just taste

Magenta/pink is strongly associated with consumer lifestyle brands. Corporate decision-makers (MDs, Directors of People) subconsciously map colour to price category. McKinsey, Mercer, and comparable firms use navy, charcoal, and muted gold.

Primary colour change: Replace magenta with deep navy (#1a2744) as authority base, warm white (#fafafa) as primary background, and muted gold (#c9963a) as single accent. Apply the 60/30/10 rule.

Motion & Interaction Design
Animation separates brochures from brand experiences

Motion Audit

Zero animations exist anywhere on the site. A completely static site is the fastest design signal that the brand has not invested in the client experience. For a coaching business that sells transformation, the medium should model the message.

No Scroll Reveal Animations
Critical

All content loads simultaneously — no hierarchy

Every section appears at once. Scroll-triggered reveals create narrative pacing and draw attention to key messages in sequence.

/* AOS.js implementation (free, 1-line CDN include) */ <link href="https://unpkg.com/aos@2.3.1/dist/aos.css" rel="stylesheet"> <div data-aos="fade-up" data-aos-duration="800">Section content</div> AOS.init({ once: true, offset: 80 });
No CTA Hover States
High

Buttons feel unresponsive

CTA buttons have no hover animation — they feel flat and unresponsive compared to competitor sites.

.cta-button { transition: transform 0.2s ease, box-shadow 0.2s ease; } .cta-button:hover { transform: translateY(-2px); box-shadow: 0 8px 24px rgba(201, 150, 58, 0.3); }

Magenta Accent on Corporate Site

The single most damaging visual decision. Signals consumer lifestyle to a corporate buyer who expects authority colours.

Replace with deep navy + muted gold system immediately.

Zero Motion / Animations

A completely static site communicates no investment in client experience — the opposite of what a culture transformation coach should project.

Add AOS scroll-reveal on migration. Minimum: section heading fades + testimonial card reveals.

No Social Proof Above Fold

Testimonials exist but are buried. The first screen a visitor sees contains no evidence of outcomes or credibility.

Add proof strip (logo row or outcome stats) immediately below the hero section.

Generic Utility Typography (PT Sans)

PT Sans is a functional font with no premium associations. It communicates nothing about the calibre of the coaching work.

Upgrade to Playfair Display (headings) + Inter (body) pairing.

No Methodology Visualisation

The a licensed proprietary methodology framework — the core differentiator — is communicated only in prose. Competitors use visual process diagrams.

Create a 4-step process visual for the a licensed proprietary methodology methodology with icons and a brief descriptor per step.

Testimonials Listed, Not Showcased

Testimonials appear as a plain list rather than as designed cards with the reviewer's name, role, and company sector prominently displayed.

Redesign testimonials as full-bleed quote cards with name, title, and sector badge. Add a headshot if permission is given.

Product Type
B2B corporate culture coaching consultancy. UK-based. Solo practitioner with a licensed proprietary methodology methodology licence. Target client: MD, CEO, or Director of People in a 20–200 person business.
Pattern
Split-hero editorial layout: left text block (headline + subhead + proof stat + CTA), right professional portrait. Followed by: proof strip (client logos/sectors), methodology section (4-step visual), services grid, testimonials carousel, about section, and a strong CTA footer.
Style
Premium B2B authority. Comparable to McKinsey.com or Mercer.com in terms of gravitas — not a startup or consumer brand. Clean, high-whitespace, editorial grid. No gradients, no bright colours, no decorative flourishes.
Colours — 60/30/10
60% warm white (#fafafa) — backgrounds and large sections. 30% deep navy (#1a2744) — headers, footers, authority sections. 10% muted gold (#c9963a) — accent, CTAs, highlighted text, borders.
Typography
Headings H1/H2: Playfair Display 700 (editorial authority). Body and UI: Inter 400/500 (clean, professional). Pull-quotes / testimonials: Playfair Display 400 Italic. Minimum body size: 16px. Line height: 1.7 for body text.
Animations
AOS scroll-reveal on all section headings (fade-up, 800ms). Testimonial cards: fade-in staggered at 200ms intervals. CTA buttons: translateY(-2px) + box-shadow on hover (0.2s ease). Statistics: count-up animation on scroll. NO parallax, NO auto-play video.
Copy Direction
Outcome-led, peer-to-peer tone. Write as a trusted advisor to a fellow senior leader, not as a service vendor. Lead with the problem the client recognises (cultural drag, retention issues, underperforming teams), then introduce the methodology as the proven path. Avoid: buzzwords, over-selling, academic language. British English throughout.
Avoid
Avoid: magenta/pink, bright primary colours, consumer lifestyle aesthetics, stock photography of generic office scenes, cluttered layouts, bullet-list-heavy copy, social media icon rows in the header.

51Brand Score

Credible Foundation — Underexploited

The brand has genuine assets — a licensed methodology, a compelling personal backstory (MD turned coach), and authentic client outcomes. But these are not being deployed systematically. The a licensed proprietary methodology methodology is under-explained, testimonials are anonymous, and the digital presence is essentially invisible beyond direct search.

Top Brand Priorities
1

Name and Explain the a licensed proprietary methodology Methodology

The a licensed proprietary methodology licence is the strongest credibility signal on the site but is mentioned only once without explanation. Add a dedicated methodology section to the homepage and every service page: what it is, how it works, why it's licensed, and a link to tricres.com for external validation.

Impact: Authority differentiation — separates this coach from every uncertified generalist competitor

2

Add Names and Outcomes to Testimonials

Every testimonial is currently anonymous. Anonymous testimonials reduce credibility by 60–70% compared to named quotes with roles. Request permission from clients to add first name + company sector + one measurable outcome to each testimonial.

Impact: Social proof conversion — the single most trusted form of B2B validation

3

Build LinkedIn as a Content Authority Channel

The site has no discoverable content footprint. LinkedIn is where MDs and Directors of People spend professional time. A consistent posting cadence of 2–3 posts per week (culture insight, client story, framework breakdown) would build organic reach faster than SEO on the current platform.

Impact: Top-of-funnel brand visibility where the target audience already lives

Digital Presence & Share of Voice
Traffic, social signals, keyword dominance, content footprint
Share of Voice Assessment

Organic Search Presence: Near Zero

The site is on Google Sites with no keyword-targeting, no meta data, and no content depth. Estimated organic traffic: fewer than 50 sessions/month. Competitors in the same category are driving 500–2,000 sessions/month.

Migration to a proper CMS + content strategy is the only path to organic share of voice in this category.

LinkedIn: Profile Exists, No Content Strategy

LinkedIn company page and personal profile appear to exist but no consistent content cadence was identifiable. This is the largest untapped channel for this audience.

Post 2× per week: one culture insight (practical framework or model explanation) and one client or personal story. Engage with replies within 24 hours.

Booking / Payment: Paperbell (External Platform)

Client booking and payment flows through Paperbell rather than the main domain. This splits the brand experience and means conversion data is not attributable to the main site.

Add a seamless booking CTA on the main site that embeds or links directly to Paperbell. Consider embedding the booking flow as an iframe to reduce domain switching.
Voice, Tone & Copy Audit
Does the writing match the brand's price point and audience?

The Voice Gap

The copy has genuine quality — it is specific, outcome-led, and avoids the most egregious coaching clichés. But it is inconsistent in register across pages (some sections are formal, others conversational) and does not yet communicate the specific credibility signals that senior B2B buyers need before booking a premium service.

Inconsistent Register Across Pages
High

Tone varies between pages

The homepage is confident and direct. The coaching services page is softer and more generic. The small business page shifts register again. A senior buyer reading all three pages gets a mixed signal about who this coach is.

Define a voice brief: confident, peer-to-peer, outcome-led, British. Apply consistently to all pages in the next content revision.
No Named Outcomes in Copy
Critical

Benefits are implied, not stated

The copy describes what culture coaching is but rarely states specific outcomes (e.g. "reduced attrition by 35%", "team engagement scores up 28 points in 6 months"). B2B buyers buy outcomes, not processes.

Add at least 3 specific outcome statements to the homepage and each service page. Draw from real client results where possible.

Business Type & Niche
B2B corporate culture coaching consultancy. UK-based solo practitioner. Licensed a licensed proprietary methodology methodology. Serves MDs, Directors of People, and HR leads in 20–200 person businesses. Premium price point (£5,000+ engagements).
Target Audience Profile
MDs and Directors of People in UK SMEs and mid-market firms. Age 38–55. Experienced leaders who recognise that culture is a commercial lever, not a soft HR issue. Cynical of generic coaching. Responds to evidence, frameworks, and peer credibility.
Current Brand Problems (from Audit)
1. Magenta accent signals consumer/lifestyle rather than B2B authority. 2. a licensed proprietary methodology methodology is under-explained — the core differentiator is invisible. 3. Testimonials are anonymous — erodes social proof. 4. Digital presence is near-zero outside branded search. 5. Voice inconsistency across pages undermines trust.

Confident peer-to-peer. Speaks to equals — not down to clients, not up to impress. Direct, British, outcome-led. No buzzwords. No over-selling. Sounds like the most credible person in the room, not the loudest.
Price Point & Intended Positioning
Premium B2B consultancy tier. Pricing signals should sit between enterprise agency (McKinsey-level) and solo coach (generic practitioner). The a licensed proprietary methodology licence is the validation that justifies premium pricing over uncertified competitors.
Key Differentiator
Licensed a licensed proprietary methodology methodology practitioner — the only structured, validated framework for culture change in the UK SME market. Plus 20+ years of lived leadership experience as an MD, not just coaching theory.
Visual Direction
Deep navy and muted gold. Playfair Display headings. Editorial layout. Professional portrait photography (existing is good — preserve it). No stock imagery. Sparse, high-whitespace design.
Brands to Sound Like / Avoid
Sound like: Mercer.com, a Harvard Business Review article, a trusted chair of a Board. Avoid: anything that sounds like a life coach, an NLP practitioner, or a motivational speaker.

Structurally Underserved Market — Platform Is the Barrier

The corporate culture coaching space in the UK is dominated by large consultancies (Mercer, PWC) and a fragmented middle tier of solo practitioners. The site sits in the middle tier but is currently invisible online. The core opportunity is to own the 'licensed methodology + solo practitioner' positioning that neither large agencies nor generic coaches can match.

Market Overview
UK Culture Coaching Market Snapshot

Market Fragmentation Creates Opportunity

The UK B2B culture coaching space has a clear gap between expensive enterprise consultancies (£50k+ engagements) and generic solo coaches with no validated methodology. The £5k–£20k SME segment is underserved with credible, methodology-backed practitioners.

Search Demand: Consistent but Unglamorous

Terms like "corporate culture coaching UK" and "culture change consultant UK" show consistent monthly search volume (estimated 200–600 searches/month) with low competition. First-page rankings are dominated by large agencies who don't specifically target SMEs.

Competitor Deep Dives
3 specific vulnerabilities per competitor — exploitable on a limited budget

corporateculture.co.uk

corporateculture.co.uk

Large agency offering. Broad positioning, enterprise focus. High production value website.

Anonymous team — no individual practitioner story or methodology name
No pricing signals — all "contact us" with long sales process
Generic language — "people-first culture" without a named framework
Opportunity: Position as the personal, licensed-methodology alternative — faster access, named practitioner, validated framework

libertymind.co.uk

libertymind.co.uk

Mid-tier culture consultancy. Strong blog, good SEO presence. Evidence-led positioning.

No single named methodology — uses eclectic mix of frameworks
Broader audience targeting dilutes the SME message
High content volume but low conversion copy — academic tone
Opportunity: a licensed proprietary methodology licence is a specific, defensible framework advantage that Liberty Mind cannot replicate — make this the centrepiece of all positioning
Gaps & Opportunities
What competitors offer that this site lacks — and what this site uniquely owns
What Competitors Have That This Site Lacks

Content Marketing Presence

Both main competitors have active blogs with 50–200+ articles. This site has zero indexed content. Content is how culture coaching searches surface — not by brand name.

Publish one long-form article per month on a specific culture challenge (e.g. "How to fix a blame culture in 90 days"). This will generate more search traffic than any technical SEO fix on the current platform.

Case Studies with Named Outcomes

Competitors reference specific engagement outcomes even if clients are anonymised by sector. This site has no case study section.

Create 2–3 case study pages: "Culture Transformation in a 60-person Manufacturing Firm" with timeline, challenge, approach, and outcome. Anonymise if required.
What This Site Uniquely Owns

a licensed proprietary methodology Methodology Licence

No identified competitor holds a a licensed proprietary methodology licence. This is a genuinely defensible moat — it cannot be copied without the same certification investment. It must be named, explained, and cited on every page.

MD Origin Story

Having been an MD before becoming a culture coach is a powerful credibility signal that agency consultants cannot match. This narrative is underused on the current site.

Attack Plan
Budget-friendly, high-impact moves to take market share

The Opportunity

The highest-leverage competitive move is not to outspend competitors on advertising but to occupy the 'licensed methodology solo practitioner' position that no competitor currently owns. This requires: (1) making the a licensed proprietary methodology methodology central to all messaging, (2) building a small but authoritative content library around culture change for SMEs, and (3) using LinkedIn to build reach within the MD/Director of People community.

Month 1 — Claim the Methodology Position
  • Add a licensed proprietary methodology methodology section to every page with external validation link
  • Write positioning statement: "The only licensed a licensed proprietary methodology coach serving UK SMEs"
  • Add named testimonials with outcomes to homepage and service pages
Month 2 — Build Content Authority
  • Publish 2 long-form articles: "How to diagnose a toxic culture before it costs you" + "The 5 signs your leadership team has a culture problem"
  • Start LinkedIn cadence: 2 posts/week mixing culture insight and client stories
  • Migrate site to WordPress or Webflow — prerequisite for all content SEO

Strong Potential — No Infrastructure to Capture It

The target audience (MDs, Directors of People) is well-defined, the service is premium and defensible, and the coach has strong personal credibility. But there is no traffic infrastructure, no content funnel, and no lead capture mechanism beyond a contact form. The site is a business card, not a growth engine.

  • MD, CEO, Director of People, or Senior HR Lead
  • UK-based, typically South East England / major cities
  • Business size: 20–200 employees
  • Annual salary / business revenue: £80k–£250k personal income

Psychographics

  • Believes culture is a commercial driver, not a soft issue
  • Frustrated by slow HR processes and people problems

  • Performance issues that feel cultural, not individual
  • Inherited a toxic or change-resistant team from a previous leader
  • Failed to make culture change stick after a previous initiative

Core Desires

  • The board sets a people-related OKR that feels impossible without external support
3 High-Impact Marketing Angles
Angle 1
The Culture Cost Calculator

Angle 2
The Methodology Authority
Lead with the a licensed proprietary methodology licence as the trusted framework. "Not intuition, not a workshop — a validated, licensed system used by the world's leading culture-change practitioners."
Angle 3
The Peer Proof Track
Lead with named outcomes from similar MDs. "How a 60-person manufacturing MD reduced attrition by 40% in 9 months using the a licensed proprietary methodology Culture Framework." Story-first, outcome-led.
90-Day Traffic Acquisition Strategy
Sequenced by cost-effectiveness — build organic foundation before scaling paid

Traffic Context

The site currently receives near-zero organic traffic. Google Sites prevents all technical SEO improvements. The 90-day strategy therefore begins with quick wins on existing channels (LinkedIn, referrals) before moving to content SEO which requires CMS migration first.

  • Post 2× per week: one insight + one client story (no names required)
  • Ask top 3 existing clients for a LinkedIn recommendation
  • Identify 10 target MDs in network — connect and engage with their content
Days 31–60 — CMS Migration + SEO Foundation

Platform Migration + First Content

  • Migrate to Webflow or WordPress
  • Launch with meta descriptions, title tags, and schema on all pages
  • Publish first long-form article: "5 Signs Your Business Has a Culture Problem"
  • Submit sitemap to Google Search Console on launch day
Days 61–90 — Content Authority Build

Search Visibility + Lead Capture

  • Publish second article: "How to Use the a licensed proprietary methodology Framework to Fix Culture Drift"
  • Add email capture with a free diagnostic resource (e.g. "Culture Health Checklist PDF")
  • Set up Google Analytics 4 + Search Console to baseline all metrics
  • Target: 100–300 organic sessions/month by end of Day 90

Growth Metrics Framework
North Star, AARRR funnel, and KPIs to track weekly

North Star Metric

Discovery Calls Booked Per Month — Every engagement begins with a discovery call. This metric is a direct leading indicator of revenue and measures all upstream marketing effectiveness — SEO traffic, LinkedIn reach, and referral activity all funnel into this single conversion point.

AARRR Funnel
Acquisition
Current: ~50/mo
Near-zero organic. LinkedIn + direct referrals only. Target: 300/mo in 90 days post-migration.
Activation
No capture
No email opt-in or lead magnet. A free Culture Health Checklist would activate passive visitors.
Retention
Not measured
No email sequence or nurture for non-ready leads. Target: monthly email to warm list of 50+ contacts.
Revenue
Booking rate
Discovery call → engagement conversion. Track in Paperbell. Baseline before optimising.
Referral
Untapped
No formal referral ask. A post-engagement check-in email with a referral request would cost nothing and likely yield 1–2 referrals per cohort.

The Bottom Line

The site is functionally invisible to search engines and visually misaligned with its premium price point. The root cause across all five dimensions is the Google Sites platform — it imposes hard ceilings on SEO, design, and content capability. Until the site is migrated to a modern CMS (Webflow or WordPress), no amount of content or design effort can move the needle.

Revenue Impact

£15,000–£40,000 / year

Conservative estimate of additional annual revenue from organic search alone, post-migration. Based on 500 monthly organic visits, 2% discovery call conversion, 30% close rate at £8,000 average engagement.

Top 3 Actions This Week

  • Write meta descriptions for all 4 pages — 30 min, highest CTR impact (Search)
  • Replace magenta accent with deep navy / charcoal — 1 hour, single CSS change (Design)
  • Add a licensed proprietary methodology section to every service page — 2 hours, with link to tricres.com (Brand)

Single Biggest Lever

Migrate from Google Sites to Webflow or WordPress. This is the prerequisite for every SEO, design, and content improvement. Estimated cost: £1,500–£3,000 one-off. Without it, the site cannot rank, cannot convert, and cannot compete with corporateculture.co.uk, Liberty Mind, or any practitioner with a modern web presence.

Unfair Advantage

A licensed proprietary methodology licence is a genuine competitive moat — no identified competitor holds it. Combined with 20+ years of MD-level leadership experience, this positions the business as a credentialed specialist, not another generic coach. This asset is currently underexploited across every page of the site.
