Unlocking Digital Growth in Norfolk: A Guide to the Go Digital Grant

Table of Contents

Introduction: What is the Go Digital Grant?

If you’re a small or medium-sized business in Norfolk, listen up, this one’s got your name on it. The Go Digital Grant, brought to you by Norfolk County Council, is a tidy funding boost that could help you level up online.

You could scoop up to £500 to go towards digital marketing, your website, or even a solid strategy. And don’t worry, you’re not left to figure it all out alone. The grant includes time with a digital advisor who’ll help you sort your plans from day one.

Who is Eligible and What’s on Offer?

No gatekeeping here. If you’re a Norfolk SME with fewer than 250 staff and a real interest in getting your digital ducks in a row, this is for you. That includes brand-new businesses or those ready to upgrade their online game.

From SEO tweaks to website makeovers or a proper content strategy, there’s room to grow. And the grant’s ready to help you do just that.

Why Norfolk Businesses Should Take This Seriously

This isn’t just another form to skip past. The Go Digital Grant is a rare combo of cash and know-how that could genuinely boost your bottom line. With so many customers starting their journey online, not being visible is like turning your sign to CLOSED during rush hour.

We’ve watched this scheme help small Norfolk businesses punch way above their weight. Add a bit of funding to some smart strategy, and suddenly, things start clicking.

Getting Started with the Application

There’s no endless loop of forms here. Head to the Norfolk County Council website, fill out a quick bit about your current digital setup, and you’re on your way.

You’ll get paired with a digital advisor who’ll help shape what comes next. If that means SEO work, a better booking system, or a sharper site, that’s where we step in.

Need help working out what’s needed or an invoice for the paperwork? We’ve got your back. Just give us a shout.

What Can the Grant Be Used For?

Here’s where it gets interesting. You can put the grant towards:

  • A shiny new SEO strategy
  • A website revamp that actually works on mobile
  • E-commerce upgrades
  • Targeted social campaigns
  • Analytics tools to track your wins

Basically, if it helps you grow online, it’s in play.

How Temple Brown Helps You Make the Most of It

We’re not just here to take your brief and bounce. We help you build a plan that makes sense.

We’ll:

  • Shape the right strategy
  • Help you write the strongest case for your grant
  • Nail the technical stuff like SEO and UX
  • And, most importantly, keep things focused on what actually brings results

We’re not here for fluff or jargon. We’re here for impact.

Case Studies: Norwich Success Stories

One Norwich retailer used the grant to get a fresh new site. Within three months, they saw 62% more traffic and a 40% bump in sales.

Then there’s the wellness studio that updated their homepage and booking setup. Their bounce rate dropped like a stone, and they started showing up top three on Google for key local search terms.

This isn’t guesswork, it’s good strategy, backed by data and funding.

Strategic Discovery: The Temple Brown Edge

Before we build a thing, we get to know you. Our Discovery process is all about digging deep, into your goals, your challenges, your audience. That way, we know whether you need a full rebuild or just a clever tweak.

We’ve even had clients realise what they really needed wasn’t a new site, but a clearer message. Discovery stops you wasting your grant, and starts you building smart.

It also helps us figure out if marketing, web design, or something else entirely will actually solve your problem. Because we’d rather steer you right than sell you the wrong thing.

Go Digital, But Go Smart

This isn’t about ticking boxes or spending for the sake of it. If you’re going to use a grant, use it properly.

Work with people who’ll ask the right questions, help you find the right answers, and build something that fits your business like a glove, not a one-size-fits-all template.

What AI and Discovery Add to the Mix

Whether you’ve got an existing site or you’re starting from absolute scratch, we’ve built our Discovery process to give you clarity early, not halfway through the project.

AI helps us get the facts fast: site audits, keyword research, heatmaps, and yes, even a sneaky look at your competition. But that’s just the data. The decisions? That’s still a job for humans.

We can now use AI to quickly understand how your business shows up online without charging you hours in fees. That gives our first meeting real purpose, and gives you clarity from the get-go.

And if you’ve got nothing yet, we’ll show you what your competitors are doing and how we can build something better. Because the tools are clever, but they need direction. That’s where we come in.

We call it Curation. Just like an art gallery wouldn’t leave paintings to hang themselves, we use our industry knowledge and strategy to shape what AI gives us. We know what works, what doesn’t, and how to make it sing.
