A free report scoring the existing online effectiveness of your financial services business.
Like a pre-client questionnaire you complete with new clients, our report outlines the strength of your existing online marketing. This is yours to keep and is free. It means we can discuss where your business is, and where we might be able to take it with expert marketing on your side.
The financial services industry is a sector we know. We’re already working successfully with SJP practices.
Our clients include wealth managers, financial advisers, accountants and solicitors. We understand the FSA regulated environment and know the marketing style and ‘tone of voice’ that a business that trades on trust and reputation needs to adopt.
Little things matter and we are big on them, like attention to detail.
Trust and reputation are vital elements to your offering. Sloppy messaging and careless marketing can undermine hard earned trust in short order. We are proud of our high standards and that we are relied on by clients to act on their behalf.

How we will work for you

- Facebook Business Page
- LinkedIn Company Page
- Google My Business
- Bing Places
If some accounts already exist, we ensure that they are optimised and set up accurately.
How we help get your business to Number 1 in your area
The key to unlocking the door to a high ranking marketing presence in your area is a proven approach, rolled-out consistently every month, using the following tools.
| Social Media | ✔ |
| Testimonials | ✔ |
| Business Listings | ✔ |
| Community Marketing | ✔ |
| Facebook Advertising | ✔ |
Social Media
We guarantee 30 posts every month spread equally across different platforms. The content is drawn from the pre-approved posts originated by St James’s Place and already on your website, including:
- Insights
- WeekWatch
- Calculators
- Entrepreneurs Club Communications Programme
We choose topics that ‘chime’ with the current news and finance narrative. Our posts will use geo-tags so they are optimised to work best in the area you are located. We will draft an introduction to each social media post and use royalty free images where necessary. This service means that no matter how busy you are, the social media messaging is always ticking over in the background.
Business Listings Websites
A listing on the websites of the country’s leading business databases will send strong signals about where your business is and what you excel in. Over the first three months, we will add your business to the 10 key business listings websites. We’ll also ensure that information across these sites is presented consistently to avoid any Google penalties. The search engine dislikes inconsistency – it indicates a possible lack of authenticity.
We will add a two further business listings each month after three months.
Client Testimonials
We set up an easy way for you to request testimonials from clients. Each time you receive a new testimonial it will add further strength to your local marketing on Google and other search engines.
Facebook Business Advertising
We recommend a small sum c£50 is committed early to accelerate the number of followers on the newly-created Facebook Business Page. A Facebook following of over a hundred indicates credibility.
Community Marketing
We may recommend other marketing initiatives specific and local to your area that will strengthen your online presence. Examples include:
- Local business listings
- Community Facebook groups
- Sponsorships / collaboration e.g. a local group or sports team.
How much does it cost?
Prices start at £300.00 + VAT per month. There’s no contract to tie you down, but we do ask for a minimum of four to six months commitment to enable our work to take effect. Any Facebook or other advertising undertaken will be re-charged at cost.
