When I opened High Like at 199 Monton Road, I wasn't exactly new to Monton.
I'd already spent a few years working with, getting to know and using businesses around Monton and the surrounding area.
So this isn't a list scraped from Google or a "best businesses in Monton" article written by someone who's never been here.
These are local businesses and business owners I've worked with, used or got to know through running my own business in the area.
I'll keep adding to the list as I work with more.

And High Like
High Like is my SEO and AI search marketing agency, based at 199 Monton Road, helping businesses get found across Google Search, Google Maps and AI platforms.
The focus is increasingly on one question: when somebody searches Google, Maps, ChatGPT or another AI platform for the service you provide, does your business actually get found?

More to Come
This isn't supposed to be a definitive directory of every business in Monton.
It's my own list of businesses and business owners I've come across through working in and around Monton.
I'll keep updating it as I work with more people locally.
If you're a Monton business I've worked with and I've somehow missed you, drop me an email at info@hlaio.com.
