Where it all started
After more than 15 years working in digital strategy, marketing, and product development, I’d learned how businesses grow — from understanding customers and building great user experiences to managing sales, contracts, and partnerships.
When I had the space to step back, I realised how many small businesses and startups struggle to get online. Building a website, understanding SEO, or even setting up Google Business can feel overwhelming. I decided to use my experience to make that easier.
At AKCo, I help local and growing UK businesses create simple, effective websites, appear on Google, and attract new customers online. My goal is to give small business owners the same level of digital confidence that larger companies take for granted — without the jargon, high costs, or complexity.
