A little more about our nomination
At Soar, the pandemic offered us the opportunity to re-think the way we connect and engage with the business community of Birmingham and beyond.
Starting with a rebrand, we decided to reinvent our look and message. Our logo changed, the colour scheme changed, but most of all, the functions of our website changed.
How?
We now have many tools that are free to use for business owners to check their online identity and digital growth.
We doubled down on what we thought was most valuable and important to people during Covid: information. Accessible information. Our blog is full of regularly updated tips and guides that you don’t need to be a marketing guru to fully understand.
What free tools do we offer?
We implemented a range of free tools so the average business owner can accurately assess the important elements of his/her website for free. All information we provide is critical to recovering digitally from an SEO perspective.
Website Checker Tool
Our website checker tool, which you can find on the header of our homepage examines and analyses your URL and provides a run down on a few important elements.
It tells you:
- Your top 10 Keyword Rankings in your company’s specific location.
The list is ordered by the keywords that drive the most traffic to your page. You can get a grasp on your position on Google for these keywords, how often they’re being searched for, and the estimated traffic those keywords drive to your website.
- How many keywords rank in the top 100 pages on Google.
We’ll tell you how many keywords your entire website ranks for, and on what page your listing sits for each one
- Usability
We’ll grade the usability of your website across all platforms. It’s important your website is mobile-friendly!
- Mobile Speed
Page Loading Speed tool
Our website loading speed tool details how quickly your website loads. Google places a huge emphasis on load speed times in a focus to maximize user experience. Ranking and assessment is done on a mobile-first basis. Our performance test will show which files and resources are keeping you from having lightning-fast speed!
Keyword Ranking Report
We have an automated keyword ranking report which helps business owners and marketers understand their current ranking positions on Google in more detail.
Simply tell us the top 10 keywords you want to rank for and we’ll set up free, automated email reports showing you week-on-week movements in the ranking for each word or keyphrase.
The Soar 500 Club
Another initiative centered around the digital recovery of SMBs around Birmingham, London, and beyond is the 500 club.
The 500 club is for smaller businesses with smaller budgets who still want to succeed online.

We greatly appreciate the judges of the MarTech Awards for recognising our offering of free tools and low-cost services, which we believe continue to add value to our community during times of recovery.
