ICYMI – All the blog posts from September 2026

The index of everything that’s been in our ‘An Article A Day’ blog in the last month.

Does postal mail marketing still have a place?

Sometimes the clever promotional channel is not the newest one. It is the one our competitors have stopped using.


SEO and Ai search: what really changes?

Do we need a separate Ai SEO strategy, or is good SEO still the foundation? Here’s what changes and where to focus first.


PPC after keywords: what marketers lose

The keyword era in PPC is ending. The next skill is not picking terms, but managing the signals that automated systems learn from.


What should we say to future buyers?

The 19 in 20 are not ready to buy, but they are worth reaching. Here’s what B2B marketing can do before demand appears.


B2B can learn from consumer marketing

We don’t need to copy consumer marketing. We just need to stop using seriousness as an excuse for being invisible.


Mobile websites should behave more like tools

B2B mobile design should focus on tasks, not just whether the layout fits on a smaller screen. That could migrate back to the desktop site.


Do hashtags still matter?

B2B websites should still use hashtags, but as part of content structure, not as decorative labels added at the end of publishing.


Should B2B websites add hashtags?

In the Ai era, clear topic signals matter. Website hashtags can help when they act as signposts rather than decorative labels.


Your PR company should want more of your SEO

PR and SEO can no longer sit apart. B2B visibility now depends on website clarity and credible third-party mentions.


Vibe coding is worth trying

Once we can ‘vibe code’, new uses appear everywhere. Start small, test carefully, and turn everyday annoyances into working tools.


The 19 in 20 are not wasted audience

Most buyers shortlist suppliers they already know. That makes visibility with future customers essential, not optional.


Agentic Ai is changing website maintenance

Ai can turn website maintenance from a backlog into an ongoing, continuous process, but external suppliers must be transparent about costs.


When more traffic is not the best answer

Falling organic traffic and rising click costs make conversion rate optimisation a more important B2B marketing priority.


Why useful, independent newsletter content works

We should not bring back the old company newsletter. There’s still time to build the useful one it should have become.


Marketing should listen across the business

Better campaigns often begin with internal listening. The organisation already contains useful evidence about customer needs.


Geography is still a Google Ads superpower

Automation does not remove the need for control. Google Ads location settings can still make campaigns sharper and more relevant.


Getting more specific about what we’re offering

The best way to improve online ad copy is often simple: stop making broader claims and start using evidence that makes us unique.


Ai will not make branding irrelevant

The future is not facts instead of brand. It is offering clear evidence, strong proof and human trust too.


The value of having something to say

B2B advertising needs a stance. Having a useful point of view helps copy stand out from generic category claims.


The sludge problem in online advertising

Many ads look professional but feel interchangeable. The problem is a combination of the copy, the brief and the approval process.


The 404 page is now a recovery page

The 404 page will never be the glamorous part of a website, but it’s a small detail that shows if a website has been properly cared for.
