Getting noticed and looking the part shouldn’t be another job

Most local business owners know they should be doing more, marketing and the way they present themselves, they just don’t have the time, tools or headspace. Here’s where it usually goes wrong.

No time to market

You’re run off your feet serving customers, marketing is the thing that always slips to “next week”.

Invisible on Google

When locals search for what you do, your competitors show up first, and you’re nowhere to be seen.

Scrappy branding

Your logo, menus and posts all look a bit different, and a bit DIY. It undersells how good you are.

Nothing matches

Your logo, your van, your menus, your posts, they all look like different businesses. It chips away at trust before anyone’s even walked in.

“Liam built my website and done a great job! Was very informative, helped with ideas when I was stuck and nothing was an issue. I've put off website build for over 12 months and honestly would have done it a lot sooner if I was in contact with Liam earlier.”

Our story

Why we built Footfall Studio

I'm Brandon, and I built Footfall Studio because I got tired of watching smart, hardworking small business owners get left behind. Over eight years of managing relationships with independent businesses across the country, I watched the same pattern over and over: they're brilliant at what they do, but they're drowning trying to figure out Google reviews, social media, and video marketing on top of everything else. Meanwhile, big agencies charge thousands and treat them like account numbers.

So I built Footfall Studio to fix that, a small, hands-on studio giving local businesses in the North East the marketing department they could never justify hiring. Footfall Studio has since joined forces with my brother Liam, who brings proper website design and build into the mix, so now it's the two of us, co-owners, handling your marketing, your brand and your website. Google Business Profile optimisation, review generation, social content, AI video, branding and a website that actually converts. All done-for-you, with transparent pricing and senior, hands-on attention on every account. You deal with us directly, not an account manager.

Frequently asked questions

The things local owners ask us most. Got another question? Just drop us a message.

Marketing packages are a simple monthly fee, from £175 up to £995 a month depending on the plan, plus a one-off setup fee (from £150) to get everything built and connected. Design projects are one-off, priced from a fixed starting point, and website design starts from £500, live in as little as 7 days. No surprises, no hidden extras.

No. Marketing packages are rolling monthly with no lock-in. We earn your business every month rather than trapping you in a 12-month deal. You can pause or cancel with 30 days’ notice.

Absolutely. Plenty of clients come to us for a one-off logo, brand kit, set of menus, or a new website, and nothing more. Design and website projects are completely standalone, there’s no obligation to take a monthly plan.

Design projects typically take one to two weeks, and websites are live in as little as 7 to 12 days depending on the package. For marketing, you’ll see activity straight away, fresh posts, a tidier Google profile, and most clients notice more enquiries and reviews building within the first couple of months.

Very little. After a short kick-off call and sending us a few details, you can hand it over. We handle the doing; you get a plain-English report each month. Most clients spend less than 30 minutes a month with us.

Any local business that wants more customers, shops, salons, cafés, tradespeople, clinics and studios. If you serve a local area, we can help you get found and chosen more often.
