Ben Bradley Cosmik Carrot Headshot

Making the digital side of your business clear, manageable, and worth the investment since 2008.

Ben Bradley started Cosmik Carrot in 2008 because he saw how many good businesses were being let down by agencies that overcomplicated everything. The pitch was always polished. The results, not always so.

Eighteen years on, the work has not changed. You get straight answers. You know what is being done and why. And if something is genuinely not right for your situation, you will hear that before any money is spent.

Our Story

The iPhone launched in September 2007. The dot-com boom had already happened, but something bigger was starting to take shape: the web was going into people’s pockets, and it was only going to grow from there. Better devices, better connectivity, better quality for everyone. There were a lot of good businesses that needed someone to help them get online properly, without overcomplicating it. That was the gap.

Cosmik Carrot started in 2008 as a home office business, which is exactly what we always planned. The technology was there to do it properly. The opportunity was real. And there were a lot of good business owners who needed someone to help them present their business on the web in the right way, without overcomplicating it.

That has always been the focus. Quality, and someone who is still there when you need them. Not getting a site live and moving on, but being the person you call when something needs looking at or when you are ready for the next stage. So you can concentrate on what you actually do best, which is run your business.

Some of the clients we work with now found us years ago. A few have been with Cosmik Carrot for over a decade. That kind of relationship does not happen by luck. It happens when the advice is straight, the work is consistent, and the results actually show up.

How We Work

You know what is happening and why, from the start. There are no reports designed to look impressive, and no disappearing after launch. The technical side is handled so you do not have to carry it. And if something needs attention six months after launch, we are still here.

Ben will tell you what will work and what will not. If something is not the right fit at this stage, you will hear that before you commit. The goal has always been to give you clarity and control over the digital side of your business, not to make ourselves indispensable by keeping things complicated.

Why Work With Cosmik Carrot

Choosing the right agency is genuinely difficult. Most of the pitches sound the same, and most of the promises are too.

What tends to come up when people talk about working with Cosmik Carrot is that Ben explains things properly and does not try to baffle you. That is not a strategy. It is just how the work gets done.

If you want a clearer picture of what working together actually looks like, the best starting point is a conversation.

Ben reviewed my Google business profile and gave me the feedback over a half hour zoom call. The feedback was jargon free which is ideal for a digital immigrant like me (gen X). There were a host of simple actionable advices which should improve my presence over time. Ben was warm and friendly throughout and I'd recommend his services to anyone running a business.

I recently met with Ben at Cosmik Carrot to understand a little more about the art of the possible and what more I can do to support my business Profile using google. In 30 minutes I learned a lot, took a lot of notes and actions to take away and implement.
Great experience all round.
Thanks Ben!!

I found the Google Business Profile Audit by Ben Bradley of Cosmik Carrot incredibly helpful. Ben’s recommendations helped me tailor my profile to my target audience and showed me several areas where I was missing information or not fully utilizing this free Google service.

Ben's knowledge of how search engines work — and how to adjust content for better results — has changed how I look at not only my Google Business Profile, but also my website and the bigger SEO picture.

The amount of information included in the audit was astounding and detailed, but what really stood out was the way Ben explained it. He made the information digestible and easy for a non-geeky person to understand, which is exactly what’s needed to actually make the improvements.

I highly recommend Cosmik Carrot to anyone wanting to grow their business and looking for a knowledgeable partner to help them do it.

Ben spent time assessing and suggesting amendments to my Google business profile for my business (Sara McCracken Consulting The PR Club). It was a thoughtful and insightful session, and I came away with simple actions to make my profile better. Having an up to date profile is essential, and if you need some support then I would highly recommend Ben. Thank you!

Ben ran the free Google Business Profile Audit Strategy effectively and responded well to all questions that I had. Even though it was at no financial cost, it's still an investment of time so I was pleased that Ben kept to the time slot promised, both starting and ending punctually, which I think is important. I now have plenty of action points to pursue in the coming week, so the session was well worth my time..

Ben Bradley and the team at Cosmik Carrot did an outstanding job managing our Google Ads during an extremely difficult period for our business.

At the time we engaged them, the company had suffered a serious website compromise, our Google Business Profile was suspended, and we had lost most of our trust signals with Google. As a result, our organic traffic had dropped to nearly zero, putting the business at real risk.

Through a carefully managed Google Ads strategy, along with targeted website adjustments, Cosmik Carrot helped stabilize traffic, maintain lead flow, and keep the company operational while trust was rebuilt. Their approach was thoughtful, disciplined, and focused on protecting the business rather than chasing short-term metrics.

We genuinely credit their work with helping us stay in business during a critical period. I would highly recommend Ben Bradley and Cosmik Carrot to any company facing complex Google Ads or visibility challenges.

I had a free Google Business Profile audit with Ben at Cosmic Carrot and it was genuinely so helpful. He took the time to explain everything clearly, highlighted things I hadn’t even considered, and gave really practical, easy-to-action advice. No pressure, no salesy pitch, just real value and insight. You can tell he truly knows his stuff. I’d absolutely recommend Ben to anyone wanting to improve their online visibility. Thanks again!

Ben kindly helped us to review our google business profile. His expertise uncovered a number of areas that we had not even touched. I am sure the changes we have made to our profile since working with Ben, will massively increase our incoming enquires from the internet,.

I would highly recommend Ben at Cosmik Carrot. My business is less than a year old and I have been working on many areas. One area I have neglected is my Google business profile and presence. Ben offered to run an audit and provide some insight and strategy. He took me through everything step by step and we identified lots of areas where things could be improved. I was impressed by Ben's knowledge and the great way he took me through everything. If you want to boost your presence and build a digital marketing strategy I recommend you contact Ben at Cosmik Carrot.

I had a Google audit with Ben from Comik Carrot and it a really insightful session, with lots of things for me to go away and action. Ben was really encouraging and helpful and I appreciated the way he explained things I didn't understand without being patronising! Very SEO-novice friendly!

We’ve worked with Ben for a long time, this is the 3rd website he has done for us and as always it has exceeded our expectations. Design is beautiful, it loads quickly and we know he’ll continue to do a great job with SEO and Google ads bringing us in a lot of traffic and enquiries. Cannot recommend Ben and Cosmik Carrot highly enough - communication is great, process is well laid out and easy, he provides ongoing excellent support and we love the high end design and functionality. You can trust him with anything you need for your website, to take it to the top of your industry.

Our website was created on a customised buddyboss platform by our original web developers but had developed multiple issues that other developers couldn't fix. We needed someone to fix our site, update and improve our subscription and security issues, build new custom functionality and a searchable customised library page for the site and work long term with us as the site grew.

Later we needed help with integration with another company so Cosmik Carrot sorted our Single user sign-on functionality. He has also provided continuous tech support for our community for any ongoing issues and helped us with hosting.

Excellent and quick communication. They are incredibly reliable — no other developer we have worked with has been able to do this!

I reached out to hire Cosmik Carrot because I knew that my website needed a facelift. Not only to make it look better but perform better as well as rank higher in google. I am located in Boston, MA and there was never a moment where I felt abandoned or that Cosmik Carrot took long with responses, they are super quick, on top of communication considering they are halfway across the globe.. oh and they are very gentle with the reminders. I would highly recommend hiring this company to do your website because lets face it, website design isn't easy. Sure you could spend time doing it yourself but there's a learning curve. I hired them because I wanted to spend my time doing what I love and trusting that they are the EXPERTS so they would do it right the first time. I liked working with them because they are kind and intelligent. I respect their work. I respect their clear expectations. And I enjoyed the entire process that was organized to the point where it put my hidden talent of organization to shame. Ben is my go to guy, he is the guru. If you have the funds, invest in your business... its a tax write off in the USA. Have a professional like Cosmik Carrot create your website, fine-tune your SEO and other tech stuff that you can't do.

Ben is an amazing partner to engage for your website project. He understands not only WordPress very well but also the relevant plugins for my project which included LearnDash, MemberPress and UnCanny. He has a structured milestone based delivery model, so you know exactly how your project is progressing. He created an elegant and logical Sitemap and the design is better than I had imagined. We hit some issues with a plugin bug but Ben worked directly with them to get it fixed. Ben comes highly recommended.

I hired Cosmik Carrot because I had gone as far as I could on my own with my WordPress site and my WooCommerce store needed an overhaul. Working with Ben was such a pleasure. From the start, his attention to detail, from our conversations to follow up questions he asked, it was very clear that the end result was going to be exactly what I wanted. He is well versed in all things WP, WC, Divi and more. I am beyond happy that my site is now working the way I always wanted it to and it's a much better experience for the user! If you're in need of a developer who truly knows their stuff and will give you brilliant suggestions and recommendations, look no further than Cosmik Carrot. I will be turning to them as soon as possible to take over the day-to-day management of my site as well. Highly recommend!

I hired Cosmik Carrot to develop a website, from scratch, for my business. Ben has been an absolute dream to work with. From the very first meeting, he was responsive, receptive and open to new ideas. Communication has been 1st class and Ben always replied promptly. He, in turn, also gave me lots of good ideas and suggestions which I had not thought of. Just as important, the finished product is much better than I could have imagined. I could not have wished for a better website developer. I wholeheartedly recommend Cosmik Carrot! Worth every penny.

I was as happy as can be with Ben's work. My website was a piece of work, but he quickly developed a plan what needs to be done and followed through wit it quickly and professionally. He made my website load much faster, optimized the mobile page, optimized my blog structure and Google my Business listing, fixed my contact form and much more. Google did not like my website before he started working on it and only had 5 pages (out of 200) in its index. Within 2 weeks Ben brought this number up to 198. It is clear that he is very skilled in the technical aspect and has a deep and thorough understanding of website development. He is very pleasant to work with. He responded to every single message I sent him quickly, in detail and very politely (I personally am not thrilled when freelancers write to me as though they're texting a friend - Ben's communication stood out as always professional and refined). In several video meetings we talked in depth about the work I envision. He is clearly interested in fulfilling all the customer's ideas and wishes. He does not push any agenda onto the customer and is definitely working towards fulfilling the goals in a manner that is time and cost effective. I would and will hire him again in the future.
