Working Edinburgh as a funeral-director
Edinburgh's funeral-directors often cover not just the city centre but the postcodes around it (EH) and outlying towns like Penicuik. Customers searching from those areas need to see your listing first. We make sure they do.
Funeral Directors working Edinburgh have a slightly different mix than funeral-directors elsewhere because of the neighbourhoods involved. Most Edinburgh funeral-director calls come from New Town, Stockbridge, Bruntsfield and the corridor toward Dalkeith.
What We Do
Funeral Directors in Edinburgh are competing with 60-120 other listings for the same calls. Here is what separates the busy funeral-directors from the ones whose phones have gone quiet. 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.
Funeral Directors in Edinburgh typically have between 60-120 direct competitors fighting for the same Google ranking. We get your funeral-director listing into the top three by working on the things Google's local algorithm rewards: relevance, prominence, and citation consistency.
What customers Google when they need a funeral-director: variations of understanding costs, repatriation, and personalised services. The funeral-directors that target those exact phrases on their Google profile are the ones whose phones do not stop ringing.
Why Funeral Directors Lose Calls Around Here
Funeral Directors in Edinburgh are competing with 60-120 other listings for the same calls. Here is what separates the busy funeral-directors from the ones whose phones have gone quiet. Most quiet phones are not a customer problem. They are an indexing problem. The customers are still there. Google just isn't pointing them at you yet.
Real Clients We Already Run
Across the funeral-directors we have spoken to in Edinburgh, the same pattern keeps coming up. The funeral-directors ranking in the top three of Google Maps for Edinburgh get most of the calls. The first paying client signed up in March. The seventh signed up in early April. We are growing slowly because every client gets the same level of attention, and that ceiling moves up as we add more capacity.

The Three Things That Move the Needle
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
The SEO covers your Google Business Profile (run weekly with fresh posts and photos), your website (on-page optimisation for the queries that bring calls), and your citations (consistent across the 30+ directories Google checks). Three pillars, all maintained continuously.
Missed-Call Text-Back
When you are on a job and the phone rings, you cannot always answer. The system fires off a text within seconds: 'Hi, can't pick up right now, I'll be back to you shortly. What's the issue?'. Roughly a third of those calls turn into jobs you would otherwise have lost completely.
Review Automation
Reviews show up in two places that matter: on your Google Business Profile (where new prospects see them) and as a ranking signal (Google rewards businesses with steady, recent review flow). We feed both at the same time.
What It Costs
We are not the cheapest and we are definitely not the most expensive. £199 for the site, £199 a month for the rest. Less than £6.70 a day. The maths usually works out as: One job from Google pays for the month.

Frequently Asked
What does it actually cost?
Standard price is £199 once and £199 every month after. The website is included in the setup fee and you own it forever. Three months minimum, then rolling.
What do you actually do every month?
Plain English: we make your business show up first when people Google for what you do nearby, we make sure no calls get lost when you cannot answer, and we show you exactly what changed every month.
Do I need to do anything technical?
Not at all. We build, host, and run everything. If you can send a text message, you can use this service. We send you a monthly report and message you if we need anything from your end.
What if I already have a website?
Yes, that is normal. Most of our clients had a previous site (often built by an agency or a friend that did not work out). We bring it across, keep your domain, and rebuild whatever needs rebuilding.
How long until I see results?
Realistically: small wins from week one (more missed calls recovered, a few more reviews). Medium wins by month one (Google profile starting to climb). Bigger wins by month three (organic search rankings improving). Anyone promising overnight results is selling something.
Can I cancel?
You can cancel after the third month. No 30-day notice, no exit charge. The website is yours to keep. We just stop the management work.
