Glide Marketing

Glide Marketing, based in Chelmsford, works specifically with UK firms whose marketing sits under regulatory oversight: financial advisers and IFAs, mortgage and protection brokers, accountancy practices, and compliance consultancies or RegTech firms. Rather than serving general small businesses, the agency focuses on organisations regulated by bodies such as the FCA, ICAEW, ACCA or AAT, where marketing materials like ads and landing pages can count as financial promotions and need to clear compliance checks. The team is small, with named staff covering strategy and scoping, client delivery, finance and social content, and work is delivered directly rather than through account-manager layers. Services cover website design and build, SEO, ecommerce marketing, and AI-search readiness, with financial-promotion and compliance rules built into the process from the start. For accountancy practices this extends to practice automation and support with pricing conversations around Making Tax Digital, while for compliance consultancies the focus includes visibility for terms such as s166 skilled person reviews, Consumer Duty, CASS client money rules and FCA authorisations. Google Ads management and social media management are offered as add-ons alongside the core site build. Pricing is structured as a monthly fee rather than a large upfront project cost, with a Lite tier from £150/month for a brochure site and a Growth tier from £350/month covering SEO foundations, hosting, small ongoing changes and AI-search readiness.
