Google just made it easier to connect the dots between social media and search. 👀

Google Search Console can now show how content from Instagram, TikTok, X and YouTube is performing across Google Search and Discover, helping brands understand not only what gets likes and engagement, but what is actually being found online.

The takeaway? As AI chats, AI Overviews and social search continue to reshape how people discover businesses, your social media strategy can no longer sit separately from SEO, AI strategy and your wider digital presence.

At FWD Motion our Digital Marketing Lead, Heather, helps organisations bring social media, search and AI strategy together, so every piece of content contributes to a stronger, more visible online footprint.

We build websites that offer form and function.

Earlier this year, we worked with St Luke's - Sheffield's Hospice to plan, build and launch their new website. We worked closely with the team to find out exactly what the site needed to do: help people find support, donate, volunteer and access vital information quickly.

That's exactly what we delivered. By simplifying user journeys, improving accessibility and creating a flexible CMS, we built a website to support patients, families, friends, clinicians and the St Luke's team.

James is our Senior Graphic Designer at FWD Motion, creating high-impact digital and print work that brings brands and campaigns to life.

Outside of work, James enjoys socialising and eating out, and spends his time playing golf and air rifle target shooting. A fun fact about James is that he once borrowed the captain’s bunk bed on a flight from Sydney to Singapore.

James has been part of the FWD Motion team for four years and loves the variety of clients he gets to work with, as well as being part of a great, supportive team.

Last Friday, we swapped the office for an evening at Yard Ball, and what a fantastic night it was!

There was plenty of friendly competition, lots of laughs and an even better opportunity to spend time together outside of work. A huge congratulations to Dylan, who took home the bragging rights as our overall winner! 🏆

Despite a few sore heads the next day, we're already looking forward to the next one!

The proposed UK social media ban for under-16s could reshape more than just the platforms. 📱

As The Guardian reports, the shift could mean smaller reachable audiences, changing demographics and a rethink of where digital ad spend goes.

The way we measure social media success may be about to change, making it more important than ever to reach the right audience, on the right platform, with the right message.

At FWD Motion, we’re here to help steer your social media targeting through a changing digital landscape.

When we build with Umbraco, we're creating a tailored solution designed around your business needs, not forcing your business to fit a template.

That's the difference bespoke development makes. Find out more about our bespoke website development services: https://loom.ly/La2DepM
