Hi, I'm Sophie
You're brilliant at what you do. So why isn't your website backing you up?
The self-paced course that shows small business owners on Wix and Squarespace exactly what their website is missing - and how to fix it, without any tech jargon, without getting overwhelmed, and without handing it over to someone else.
Join the waitlist to find out what's missing for your website.
Launching on Monday 7 September.
Waitlist (and waitlist price) closes 31 August.
Where are your website enquiries?
You built your website, or paid someone to build it. It looks like a proper business. You're proud of it.
But the enquiries aren't coming in the way you hoped. New clients aren't finding you on Google. The people who do land on your site don't seem to get in touch.
So you post more on Instagram. You tweak the colours. You wonder if you need to start again from scratch.
You don't.
This might sound familiar
I hear a version of this most weeks.
A small business owner with a genuinely beautiful website, built properly, looks the part. But it's become something they're almost afraid of. Too complicated to update themselves, so changes pile up undone. SEO was never touched, so Google has no idea what they actually do or where. There's even a shop connected to the site, ready to take orders, and it's never made a single sale.
None of that is because the business isn't good enough, or the website looks wrong. It's because nobody added the layer that makes a website actually work for you, day to day, without you needing to become a web developer to keep it running.
Here's what nobody told you when your website was built
There's a layer missing, and it's not your fault it's not there.
When most websites get built, by a developer, by a friend, or by you on a DIY platform, the conversation goes something like this: "Tell me what you want to say and I'll put it in."
No discussion about whether your headline actually speaks to the right person. No thought about where to put the button so people click it. No conversation about the words that make a visitor feel understood enough to get in touch. No mention of SEO, local search, or how Google decides who to show.
That's not a criticism of developers or DIY builders. Making a website look good and work properly is a real skill. Marketing it is a completely different one, and it's almost always the bit that gets left out.
UK business data (ONS) shows that 92% of small businesses make it through year one, but 60% have closed by year five. Word of mouth carries the early years. Then it dries up, and the website should pick up the slack. Most of the time, it isn't built to.
That changes now.
No more thrashing around in the dark, trying to figure it out on your own. Get the blueprint, not just guesswork.

Introducing: The Secrets to Getting Enquiries from Your Website
A self-paced course built specifically for small business owners on Wix and Squarespace.
Not for marketing professionals. Not for people with an advanced technical background. For you, someone who is brilliant at their craft and just needs someone to explain the missing website piece clearly, in plain simple language, over a virtual cup of tea.
This course helps you add the marketing layer your website has been missing: the words, the structure, the local SEO basics, the buttons, the trust signals. Everything that makes a visitor think yes, this is exactly who I need, and then actually get in touch.
No jargon. Just clarity.
Understand what your website needs and why, so you're never handing it over and hoping for the best again.
Launching on Monday 7 September.

Sound familiar? This is your sign. Get in before waitlist doors close on 31 August.
This course probably isn’t for you if…
-
Your website is on WordPress, Showit, IONOS, GoDaddy or another platform* and you're not confident in making amends or updates. The marketing principles in Modules 1, 2 and 4 still apply, but the how-to walkthroughs are built specifically for Wix and Squarespace
-
You don't feel that confident making text, button or layout changes on your website
-
You'd rather hand it over to someone else - in which case my done-for-you services start at £890 and you can find out more here.
-
You're already confident with SEO and conversion strategy and looking for advanced techniques
*Some beta testers websites were on Wordpress, Showit, IONOS and GoDaddy and still found the course hugely beneficial and effective. These testers were confident in making changes to their site but needed a plan to follow.
Five focused modules.
One outcome: a website that actually works.
Every video is between one and five minutes long, designed to fit around a busy life, not take it over. Work through it at your own pace. Implement as you go. Start seeing real changes before you've even finished.
Module 1: Why your website isn't working (and it's not your fault)
-
The real difference between a website that looks good and one that converts
-
A full audit of your own website, so you know exactly what you're dealing with
-
A clear priority list, so you know what to fix first
After this module: you'll know what's broken and feel relieved it's fixable. You'll have a complete audit ready to work from.
Module 2: The words that do the work
-
Why your homepage has about eight seconds to convince someone they're in the right place
-
The headline formula that works for any service business
-
The one mistake almost every About page makes, and how to fix it
After this module: you'll have a homepage headline that actually makes people feel understood.
Handy tools: an ai prompt to help make your words sound like you whilst working hard.
Module 3: Getting found on Google (local SEO, made simple - and what to do instead if you're not location-based)
-
How Google actually decides who to show, in simple terms
-
See exactly how Google reads your website pages, so you know precisely what to fix first (SEO Checker Tool included).
-
How to make your Google Business Profile work harder for you
-
How to find and use the right keywords, whether you're a local business or serve clients nationally or online, with step-by-step walkthroughs for both Wix and Squarespace
After this module: Google will actually know what you do, where you do it, and who for.
Module 4: Making your website easy to say yes to
-
Calls to action that actually get clicked
-
Contact pages that reduce friction instead of adding it
-
How to build trust on a budget: reviews, photos, and social proof that works for small service businesses
After this module: your website will have a clear path from first visit to getting in touch.
Module 5: Keeping it working without it taking over your life
-
What to check each quarter, and what you can safely ignore
-
How to use Google Search Console without it feeling terrifying
-
A simple action plan you'll actually stick to
After this module: you'll have a plan that fits your real life, not an imaginary one.
Bonus: full editor walkthroughs for Wix and Squarespace. Because knowing what to change is only useful if you know how to change it.
This isn't a race
Life gets in the way, that's normal, and this course is built around it. Every video is short enough to watch in a spare ten minutes.
You've got lifetime access, so there's no deadline to finish by and no penalty for taking a few weeks longer than you planned. Go through it in a weekend, or a page a week. Both work.
Launching on Monday 7 September.
Waitlist (and waitlist price) closes 31 August.

"Brilliant small business owners. Beautiful websites. Zero enquiries."
That's the pattern I kept seeing, again and again, which is why I built this course.
I'm Sophie. I'm a CIM-qualified marketing strategist with 20+ years of experience, and I founded The Marketing Launch Company because the sites looked great, the marketing layer just hadn't been added. Nobody had thought about the words, the structure, the journey a visitor takes from landing on the page to picking up the phone.
There are two kinds of small business owner who come to me. Some want someone to do it for them, that's what my done-for-you services are for. And then there are the ones who want to understand it, who want to know why their website isn't working and do it themselves properly, with a plan, not just thrashing around in the dark. This course is built for that second group.
I've worked with 90+ businesses across Surrey, Hampshire and West Sussex, and the thing I hear most often is that nobody ever explained this stuff to them in a way that actually made sense.
That's what this course does. No jargon. No overwhelm. Just clarity, and a website that finally does its job.
If "fix website" has been sat on your to do list for months, this is the nudge to finally get it done.
