You listened to what I was looking for and played it back in your proposal. The proposal made sense in terms of the foundation work and the ongoing activities.
You conveyed a strong knowledge of the subject matter and the platforms which gave me confidence.
Lastly, your fee proposal was realistic based on where I am as a sole trader, and showed me that you are keen to support small businesses.

Alistair's expertise in SEO proved invaluable as he skilfully navigated the intricacies of optimising our content for search engines. His insights and strategies will not only improve our current visibility but set a solid foundation for the upcoming professional updates to our website.
In addition to his SEO proficiency, Alistair provided insightful LinkedIn training that was instrumental in enhancing my understanding of this powerful professional platform. His guidance was tailored to my business needs, and I could immediately apply the strategies he shared.
Alistair is not just a freelance marketing professional; he is a dedicated and knowledgeable partner who goes the extra mile to ensure his clients' success. I highly recommend Alistair for anyone seeking expertise in SEO and general digital marketing. Working with him has been a pleasure, and I'm confident he can deliver similar results for others.

Alistair and I had 3 sessions regarding my career path and he offered a fresh new perspective on how to expand my own brand, searching and applying for roles and also attracting recruiters to me. Alistair provided insightful personalised information and recommendations in an informal setting, that made me feel comfortable and more receptive to feedback. For anyone struggling to bridge the gap between university and a full time career in their particular field, I’d thoroughly recommend having a few sessions with Alistair to ignite some motivation and belief in yourself! Thanks again Alistair for all your help! More...

Alistair is an excellent outsourcing option when in-house resources are unavailable. He understands a brief quickly and easily and often adds value in the way that he works thinking creatively. He fits in well with an internal team. You can give Alistair a task, leave him to it, and be confident that he will deliver what you required by the agreed deadline. I recommend him unreservedly and use him often. More...

Small charities like EdUKaid often struggle to grow as the skills and experience required are out of our reach. That is why we are incredibly grateful for the expertise Alistair Lockhart has provided us over the past 7 months in relation to digital marketing, governance, fundraising and general strategies for growth.
As Programme Director, I have particularly valued the ‘critical friend’ approach where I know I can run something by Alistair and he will provide honest and constructive feedback in a language that I understand. With Alistair’s help, we now have a much better understanding of the actions we need to take to improve our digital profile and the potential impact this could have in relation to both raising awareness of our cause and generating income to improve the lives of our beneficiaries. EdUKaid is a fantastic charity with huge potential - I believe that EdUKaid is becoming a better charity because of Alistair’s help.

What do you love most about your job?
From a digital marketing perspective, helping small businesses and entrepreneurs to realise the potential digital has to offer, without being taken advantage of! For my coaching clients, I love engaging with and getting to know new people and helping them on their journey to achieving their goals whether they be professional, personal or a mixture of the two.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Have always been entrepreneurial since at school, and have had my own successful businesses as well as working for large corporates and charities. I thrive in situations where I can help individuals or businesses to achieve their full potential, that gives me a great feeling of satisfaction.
Why should our clients choose you?
I have a lot of knowledge and experience rattling around in my head which I would live to put to good use, add value and really make a difference to someone’s plans. I’m friendly, approachable, no-nonsense and very giving of myself - on the digital side I treat every client as if their business were my business. For my coaching clients I am an easygoing, insightful, analytical person, very empathetic and both happy to listen and sometimes ask challenging questions. I've experienced personal and professional highs and lows, have been through redundancy, career crossroads and start-ups. I’m a father of two teenagers, one labrador and three cats and have been happily married for 20 years. I’ve recently taken up yoga and creative writing, am an avid reader and movie buff. Feel free to read my reviews to see what others think of me.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes everything I do can be done online or remotely, and meetings can take place by video call or face-to-face if locally to the Salisbury area.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Not really relevant but of course we adhere to all government guidance when meeting in person, and have plenty of anti-bacterial handgel!
