How We Approach SEO Projects

Our SEO work delivers predictable results by following a proven, straightforward methodology.

Discovery

We start with a free, no-obligation discovery workshop. That's because to deliver our services, we have to get to know you, your organisation, competitors and market.

As well as giving us the information we need, it helps you understand what an engagement will look like and the work that will be required to achieve your business objectives.

Strategy

We use the information gathered during the discovery session to create a strategy. This work is vital, and although the temptation to jump straight into tactics is strong, we never take shortcuts, and it always pays off.

Delivery

With a strategy in place, we move on to the delivery phase of work. We're a full-service agency and provide all the required services in-house.

An SEO Process Proven To Work

Using a proven methodology, we ensure you’re reaching people you’d never be able to reach using traditional marketing methods. This includes ensuring your appear in AI Overviews and LLM outputs.

To be clear, this isn’t just about ensuring you get found; it’s about ensuring that you get found by the customers who can help you grow your business. The people who are out there looking for what you’re selling and stumbling across your competitors instead.

It’s a tough process that requires a lot of hard work, but as a seasoned SEO agency with a field-proven methodology, we think we’re your best bet for long-term success and sustainable business growth.

SEO Keeps You Ahead Of Your Competition

Like many businesses in Edinburgh, you operate in a competitive market that's getting more competitive year on year. To stay ahead and ensure your ideal customers find you when searching in Google™, you need to leverage SEO.

Being found online by people who need to buy what you sell is a powerful and cost-effective business development methodology. Switched-on organisations in Edinburgh have transformed their fortunes by implementing an effective search marketing strategy. SEO creates opportunities in ways traditional marketing never could. It puts you in front of potential customers when they try to solve a problem or make a purchase.

No Black Magic

We appreciate that SEO has a bit of a reputational problem. In fact, we think it’s probably safe to assume that you have your own ideas about the general quality of modern-day SEO services – and that these preconceived notions are one of the key reasons you’ve set out to find a local SEO agency that you could hold to account for the work that goes into your SEO campaign.

Rather than rattle on about our credentials or trustworthy nature, we’d prefer to let you see how we approach SEO projects. We figure it’s best to pull back the curtain and talk you through our process in detail, giving you transparency so that you can decide whether you want to trust us with your digital growth strategy.

Ready To Get Started

Whenever we set to work on an SEO project, we start with some detailed keyword research designed to help us pinpoint high-value phrases and shape our campaign.

When we decided to build this page, we turned to tools like SEMRush, Google’s own keyword tool, Seed Keywords and Answer The Public to work out what our target audience was using to track down and buy local SEO services in Edinburgh.

Once we’d established that people like you were using phrases like SEO agency Edinburgh or SEO services Edinburgh or SEO agencies in Edinburgh, we googled those phrases. We looked at everyone ranking in positions 1-9.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does SEO take to show results?

SEO typically takes 3-6 months to show meaningful results, though this varies depending on your industry, competition and current website condition. Quick wins like fixing technical issues can improve rankings within weeks, but building sustainable organic traffic requires consistent effort over time. We set realistic expectations during our discovery process and provide regular reporting so you can track progress.

How much does SEO cost in Edinburgh?

SEO costs in Edinburgh vary widely depending on the scope of work required. Monthly retainers typically range from £500 to £3,000+ for ongoing SEO services. One-off projects like audits or strategy development are priced separately. We provide fixed-cost proposals based on your specific requirements, so you know exactly what you're paying for before any work begins.

What's the difference between SEO and PPC?

SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) improves your organic search rankings through content, technical improvements and authority building—you don't pay for clicks. PPC (Pay Per Click) places paid adverts at the top of search results and you pay each time someone clicks. SEO takes longer but delivers lasting results; PPC delivers immediate traffic but stops when you stop paying. Many businesses use both together.

Do you guarantee first page rankings?

No reputable SEO agency can guarantee specific rankings because Google's algorithm considers hundreds of factors outside anyone's control. Be wary of agencies that promise guaranteed positions—this is a red flag. What we do guarantee is a transparent, proven methodology and regular reporting on the metrics that matter to your business, including traffic, leads and revenue.

Why should I hire an Edinburgh SEO agency instead of doing it myself?

SEO requires specialist knowledge, dedicated time and expensive tools. Most business owners find their time is better spent running their business while experts handle their search marketing. A local Edinburgh agency understands the Scottish market, can meet face-to-face when needed, and can be held accountable for results. We've been doing this since 2003 and have the track record to prove our approach works.
