How Edinburgh Chimney Sweeps Are Filling Their Diary from Google
Edinburgh's chimney-sweeps are some of the best in the country. The problem is the customers searching on Google can't find them. That's the only thing this fixes.

Working Edinburgh as a chimney-sweep
Scotland's capital, home to the Festival Fringe, Edinburgh Castle, and the Scottish Parliament. Cool and windy; exposed to North Sea winds. Prone to haar (sea fog) in spring and summer. Both of those things create regular, predictable demand for chimney-sweeps. The owners who show up first on Google get the calls. The owners who do not, get the leftovers.
The neighbourhoods that drive most call volume for chimney-sweeps in Edinburgh are Morningside, Bruntsfield, and Stockbridge. Outlying areas like Dalkeith and Penicuik send chimney-sweep work in too, especially for cowl fitting and other urgent jobs.
What We Do
Across the chimney-sweeps we have spoken to in Edinburgh, the same pattern keeps coming up. The chimney-sweeps ranking in the top three of Google Maps for Edinburgh get most of the calls. Here is exactly what we do, in plain English. We sort out your Google Business Profile so it actually appears when people search nearby. We build you a fast website that loads on a phone in under two seconds. We get you reviews automatically after every job. And we set up a system that texts back when you miss a call.
Every chimney-sweep in Edinburgh on our list gets the same six things: a fast chimney-sweep website, a properly run Google profile, automatic review requests after each chimney-sweep job, missed-call text-back, four blog posts a month tuned to chimney-sweep buyer searches, and a monthly report.
Chimney Sweeps usually serve homeowners with wood burners or open fires, landlords with chimney properties. The jobs that come through tend to be chimney inspections, bird nests in chimneys, and smoke problems. Chimney Sweeps who turn up first on Google for those exact phrases get most of the work in their area.
Why Chimney Sweeps Lose Calls Around Here
Here is what we tell chimney-sweeps working Edinburgh and the surrounding areas when they ask the obvious question. The Google ranking for chimney-sweep searches in Edinburgh is decided by the things most chimney-sweeps never touch. It's not the market. It's not the economy. It's not your prices. The phone is quiet because the people who used to find you in the Yellow Pages now search Google, and Google doesn't show your business. That's the entire problem.

The Three Things That Move the Needle
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
Every Monday we run a fresh ranking check across all your tracked search terms. Anything that dropped, we look into the same day. Anything that climbed, we double down on. That is the entire weekly SEO routine: small adjustments, every week, forever.
Missed-Call Text-Back
Most owners we set this up for save the cost of the entire month's package in the first week, just from missed-call recoveries. It is the part of the system that pays back fastest.
Review Automation
What you get over a year is the difference between 'has 12 reviews from 2023' and 'has 50 reviews, the most recent one yesterday'. Google ranks the second listing higher every time.

Frequently Asked
What does it actually cost?
£199 once + £199/month. The website is yours to keep even if you cancel. The minimum is three months so we have time to actually move the needle.
What do you actually do every month?
Three things, ranked by how quickly they pay back: missed-call text-back (instant), Google Business Profile management (weeks), and SEO (months). All three are included. No tiered features.
Do I need to do anything technical?
Zero technical work for you. We are not a DIY platform or a course. We do the actual work. The only thing we need from you is your business details and the occasional decision (do you want this colour or that colour, that sort of thing).
What if I already have a website?
Yes, we migrate it. Domain stays yours. Existing pages stay live. Customers who bookmarked your old site will still get to it. The only thing they will notice is that it loads faster than it used to.
How long until I see results?
Quickest wins: missed-call text-back and review automation start working immediately. Google Maps improvements show up within a few weeks. Organic search rankings are slower, three to six months is normal for meaningful gains.
Can I cancel?
Minimum three months because that is a fair amount of time to actually show results. After that, you are free to leave. The website you paid for is yours: domain, content, the lot.
