It's a fixed-price, hands-on review of your marketing carried out personally by me, Nick Flewitt. I go through your website, your Google Business Profile, any PPC you're running, and anything else in your marketing mix, then hand you a plain-English report on what's working, what isn't, and what to fix first. There's no automated tool involved and no call centre — you deal with me directly, start to finish.

No. The audit stands on its own as an honest, standalone picture of where your marketing stands today, and what you do with it is up to you. Some clients take the report and run with it themselves; others ask me to help implement it. There's no pressure either way.

You work with me directly rather than being passed between account handlers, and every recommendation is grounded in your actual data rather than a templated checklist. Plan A Marketing is a one-person operation by design — that's what lets me stay hands-on with every client rather than managing a team of juniors doing the work.

I'm based in Mirfield, West Yorkshire, and work with businesses across Leeds, Huddersfield, Wakefield, Halifax, Bradford, Kirklees and Dewsbury. I also work with clients further afield and nationally — location isn't a barrier, but a lot of my work with local businesses includes face-to-face meetings, which is easiest within that area.

Mostly small and medium-sized businesses — from sole traders and local shops to established regional and national brands. The audit and retainer model works for any business that isn't getting the traffic, leads or bookings it should be from its current marketing, whatever its size.

Yes. I work alongside web designers, IT support and in-house marketing teams rather than replacing them — my role is usually the data-driven strategy and diagnostic layer that sits on top of the work they're already doing. Many of my referrals come from designers and other suppliers precisely because we complement each other rather than compete.

Get in touch and I'll give you a specific timeframe based on your current marketing setup and how many channels you're running. Because I carry out every audit personally rather than automating it, turnaround depends on how much there is to review.

That depends on what suits you. Some clients take the findings and implement them in-house; some want me to train their team to do it; others prefer to hand it over and have me manage it for them ongoing. We'll talk through the report together and agree whichever route makes sense for your business — there's no single fixed next step.
