How three Hove businesses doubled their enquiries

Small changes, big difference: what three local owners did differently this autumn.

Three Hove businesses joined Around Hove in the summer. By October, each had more enquiries than in any month before. Here’s what they did.

1. They finished their listing properly

Photos, opening hours, services and a clear one-line description. Listings with six or more photos are clicked far more often than those with one.

2. They added an offer

A simple, genuine offer gave people a reason to choose them today rather than next month, and it appeared in the weekend email too.

3. They answered fast

Enquiries arrive straight to the owner’s inbox. Replying within the hour turned more of them into paying customers.
