James Dooley and Kasra Dash break down digital marketing strategies for Leicester businesses aiming to grow in 2026. They explain that KPI tracking must come first because without measuring spend, lead volume, lead quality and return on ad spend, marketing budgets get wasted. They discuss brand SEO and reputation management because a strong search engine results page improves trust and increases conversion rates across paid and organic channels. They explore AI SEO, also known as GEO or LLM optimisation, across Chat GPT, Perplexity, Claude and Gemini because large language models increasingly influence buyer research. The conversation also covers Google Business Profiles for local SEO, organic SEO with topical authority and backlinks, organic and paid social media, PPC with negative keyword lists and click fraud prevention, emerging AI ads, forum mentions on Reddit and Quora, and tradesman platforms plus performance based lead generation through Fat Rank and Promo SEO. The key takeaway for Leicester companies is diversification because relying on one channel increases risk while structured KPI tracking increases profitability.Where to Listen to This EpisodeWhy Most Businesses in Leicester Struggle With Digital Marketing in 2026 And How to Fix It is available across all major podcast platforms.
