π’ Search, SEO, AI and Social Media: York
Practical Digital Visibility for Businesses
Customers do not find businesses the way they did five years ago. Google search, Google Maps, reviews, AI tools, and social media now all influence who gets seen and who gets ignored.

This half-day practical workshop shows independent businesses how to stay visible, relevant, and trusted.
No jargon. No technical overwhelm. No sales pitch.
Just clear guidance on what works and what to fix first.
What You Will Learn
- How customers discover businesses today
- What still works in SEO and what does not
- How to improve your Google Business Profile
- How reviews influence rankings and trust
- How AI tools now describe and recommend businesses
- How social media supports search visibility
- What to stop doing
What You Will Leave With
- A clearer understanding of local discovery
- Practical improvements identified for your website and Google listing
- A simple action plan for the next 30 days
- Confidence to act without hiring an agency
What Makes This Different
This is not a theory session.
- You will review your own business during the workshop.
- You will identify what needs fixing.
- You will leave knowing exactly what to do next.
Simon has delivered more than 70 workshops for SMEs across Yorkshire, helping independent businesses improve visibility, confidence, and digital performance.
