If you really want to start 2026 on the right foot, you’ll do well to get in shape as soon as possible, because who wants to start Q1 playing catch up when you could be firing on all cylinders?
“I don’t have enough time during the end-of-year run in to start changing things”. We hear you – but also, don’t make a mountain out of a molehill. Enhancing your digital presence doesn’t require a strategy meeting, or resource planning, or any of that other heavy duty effort you think it does. Just follow our lead…
Time to upgrade your domain?
Small move. Big impact. Your domain is like your digital business card with the power to dictate your brand’s credibility, SEO, and overall digital performance. Current domain name too wordy? Clean it up without reinventing the wheel to retain brand recognition and gain memorability and legitimacy. Domain suffix not specific enough? Swap ‘.co.uk’ for a top-level domain (TLD), like ‘.store’ or something business-specific to rank higher and improve credibility.
Hosting solution fit for purpose?
Has your business grown or changed since you implemented your previous hosting solution? Having the right-fit solution is intrinsic to online performance and growth, while a bad-fit solution can be operationally and financially damaging. Scaling your start-up? Perhaps a virtual private server (VPS) for you. More established? Dedicated servers pack the power you need. Expecting seasonal shifts? Consider cloud hosting.
Need a digital marketing boost?
SEO algorithms change almost as frequently as consumer behaviours, and just when you think you’ve cracked the paid ads game, the goalposts shift and your investment isn’t quite returning what it once was. Sound familiar? To keep driving ROI from digital marketing you need your eye on the ball all the time. That’s tricky when you’re running a business, but there are digital marketing tools out there that can streamline laborious tasks.
Security need tightening?
Digital threats are constantly evolving, so it makes sense that your cybersecurity presence should too. You probably already have protection, but this isn’t a box you can tick and move on. It’s important to regularly revisit your set-up and speak to professionals who can audit your business to identify any weak points. ISO 27001 accreditation can help here, as well as enabling you to build trust with your clients and customers who demand transparency and credibility.
