Edinburgh: Why Google Decides Who Gets the Calls
Pretty much every dry-cleaner call in Edinburgh starts the same way: someone in Cramond or Leith needs help with wedding dress cleaning or stain removal, opens Google on their phone, and calls one of the first three results. That is the entire game.
Across the EH postcode area in Edinburgh, dry-cleaners mostly handle leather and suede care and suit pressing. The neighbourhoods we see most dry-cleaner calls from in Edinburgh are Stockbridge, Marchmont and Leith.
How Local SEO Actually Works for You
For dry-cleaners covering Edinburgh, the part of this most owners miss is the local search angle. The dry-cleaner customers in Edinburgh Google your trade plus a neighbourhood name, and only the top three results get the call. We don't sell you a thing and run. We run the entire online side of your business: Google listing, website, reviews, the lot. You get a monthly report and a phone number to text if anything is broken.
For dry-cleaners in Edinburgh, the search terms that matter are not "dry-cleaner" on its own. The buying-intent searches are urgent variations like "wedding dress cleaning" and "stain removal". We target those exact phrases on your Google profile and on the dry-cleaner pages of your site.
If you cover wedding dress cleaning and curtain and upholstery cleaning as a dry-cleaner, your customers are searching for those exact words on Google before they call anyone. Dry Cleaners who match those phrases on their Google listing pick up the calls before the competitors do.
What Most Local Owners Get Wrong
Dry Cleaners in Edinburgh are competing with 80-150 other listings for the same calls. Here is what separates the busy dry-cleaners from the ones whose phones have gone quiet. Here's the unflattering truth: if your business name plus your town does not return your Google listing on the first page, the customers searching for you right now have never heard of you and never will. That is what we fix.
Real Clients We Already Run
For dry-cleaners covering Edinburgh, the part of this most owners miss is the local search angle. The dry-cleaner customers in Edinburgh Google your trade plus a neighbourhood name, and only the top three results get the call. We are small on purpose. Seven paying clients right now: a mix of plumbers, heating engineers, paving and bathroom fitters across England and Wales. Every one of them we know by first name. Every one of them got a real result inside the first month.

The Three Things That Move the Needle
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
We do not pretend SEO is mysterious. It is mostly: clear keyword research, then doing the obvious work consistently, then measuring it. The agencies that overcomplicate it do so to justify the price. We just do the work and bill £199/month.
Missed-Call Text-Back
It is the cheapest way to get an immediate uplift in jobs because the customers were already calling you. They just gave up when nobody answered. The auto-text catches them mid-give-up and turns them back into a real conversation.
Review Automation
Most trades sit on 5-15 reviews for years because asking is awkward. The automation removes the awkwardness. Click, send, done. The reviews accumulate in the background.
What It Costs
It is £199 a month plus a one-off £199 setup that covers your website. Less than £6.70 a day. One job from Google pays for the month. Three-month minimum, no contracts after that.

Frequently Asked
What does it actually cost?
Two numbers, no surprises. £199 for the website itself (built and hosted by us, yours to keep). £199 a month after that for the management. Three months minimum.
What do you actually do every month?
Specifically: build and host your website, run your Google Business Profile weekly, set up review automation, set up missed-call text-back, write four blog posts a month, send a monthly report. That is the full list.
Do I need to do anything technical?
No. You do not need to do anything technical at any point. We handle the website, the Google profile, the SEO, the reviews, all of it. The only thing we ask for is information about your business and a few photos if you have them.
What if I already have a website?
Fine. We will migrate it over. The domain stays in your name. The content comes with it. The bits that work, we keep. The bits that do not, we replace.
How long until I see results?
Truthfully, we cannot put a number on it because every business is different. What we can tell you is what happened with our existing clients: most started seeing extra calls from Google within four to six weeks and meaningful ranking improvements by month three.
Can I cancel?
Three months is the minimum because that is how long it takes to do meaningful SEO work. After that you can leave whenever you want. Website yours, domain yours, no exit fees.
