Is your business showing up on Google — or just hoping it is?
In this episode of Vision to Venture, Neil Betts sits down with Ben Bradley, founder and director of Cosmik Carrot, a digital marketing agency he's been building for over 18 years. Ben started Cosmik Carrot in 2008 with a simple belief — that great web design and smart digital strategy should help real businesses grow, not just tick boxes.
What began as a one-person studio has become a trusted agency helping founders and small business owners across the UK get found on Google, attract the right clients, and grow with confidence. In this honest, no-fluff conversation, Ben and Neil dig into:
→ What Ben got completely wrong about marketing when he started out
→ Why Google visibility isn't just about rankings — and what it actually means for your revenue
→ The biggest mistakes local businesses make with SEO (and how to avoid them)
→ How to stay visible in a world where Google and AI keep changing the rules
→ The real story behind building a business that lasts nearly two decades
Whether you're just starting out or trying to figure out why your website isn't pulling its weight, Ben brings the kind of practical, grounded advice that actually makes a difference.
This one's a must-listen for any founder who wants to be found — not just exist. --- 🌐 Cosmik Carrot: https://www.cosmikcarrot.com 🚀 Vision to Venture programme: https://visiontoventure.uk
