A digital marketing checklist designed for SMEs
Does your PR and marketing feel ‘on the huh’* right now?
*If you didn’t know, On the Huh means wonky in Suffolk slang. It’s one of my favourite sayings.
This practical checklist helps you identify where your marketing is falling behind where you want it to be. You’ll spot what tasks you can fix internally and figure out when it might be worth bringing in a freelance PR consultant in Ipswich to get things back on track.

Effective digital marketing means staying visible (even when you’re busy)
Running a business (whether that’s B2B or B2C) is full‑on at the best of times. And when you’re a Suffolk business owner juggling your day-to-day operations, it’s easy to see how updating your website copy, refreshing case studies, pitching to journalists or trying to stay visible online can fall into the “I’ll get around to dealing with that later” section of your to-do list.
Part of my role as a freelance PR consultant is to remind local businesses like yours to stay active with their marketing.
I know it’s hard, but if you let things slide when you’re busy, your competitors will take advantage and move ahead. That’s where brand messaging starts to fall silent, and your online reputation begins to tell a story you didn’t write.
If you’re unsure whether you need an additional pair of hands from a local PR agency in Ipswich or a copywriter who gets what you do, this downloadable digital marketing checklist will make things crystal clear.
Download your free PR and digital marketing checklist and get a clear sense of whether things are steady, a bit on the huh, or drifting off‑track.
Use this content marketing checklist to see what you can manage in-house (and where you may need to hire PR support)
This straightforward marketing checklist helps you quickly spot what’s working, what’s drifting, and what you might need an extra pair of hands for. I promise it’s all written in plain English, with no jargon and zero judgement.
Using a simple tick‑box score, you’ll uncover:
- Whether your marketing is drifting off‑track. This is ideal if you need a quick sense‑check for both B2B and B2C businesses.
- Where your PR and marketing bottlenecks are. You can identify common pressure points, such as missing case studies or inconsistent PR activity.
- Which issues can you fix in-house? Not every business needs external support, but some might need light support as an added pair of hands.
- When it’s time to call in extra help. Not in a pushy way, but in a “here’s what would make life easier” way.
- How your digital reputation stacks up. This is especially useful if you’re unsure whether your brand reflects the real quality of your work.
Who this marketing checklist is for
This tool is invaluable if you’ve found yourself asking any of the following questions.
- “Do I actually need PR support?”
- “Is my marketing slipping while I’m busy?”
- “Would a local PR agency in Suffolk help me move faster?”
- “Do I need a B2B copywriter in Ipswich or can I still do it myself?”
- “Are we losing visibility in our B2B or B2C markets?”
- “How can I help my in-house team achieve more?”
When I work with business owners like you, they tell me they love this checklist because it feels like sitting down with someone who gets it, not someone trying to sell them a service they don’t need.
I want you to feel that you’ve got something that will give you the clarity you need to realistically know what you can manage yourself and when external support might genuinely lighten the load.
Giving you the support you need
For more than 20 years, I’ve honed my skills, working with SMEs like yours. This is your chance to take advice and support from an Ipswich PR agency who cares about your business growth.
