No agency overhead · no account managers · no upsells
Working Edinburgh as a painter
If you work Edinburgh and the postcodes around it (EH), the customer base is wide but the visible listings are narrow. There are hundreds of painters registered in the area but only a handful turn up on the map. We make sure you are in that handful.
Across the EH postcode area in Edinburgh, painters mostly handle damp staining and wallpaper hanging. The neighbourhoods we see most painter calls from in Edinburgh are Cramond, New Town and Morningside.
What We Do
In Edinburgh, the painters who keep their diary full are not the cheapest or the best. They are the ones whose Google listing turns up first when somebody searches for painter services in Edinburgh. We get your painter listing into that group. We are your outsourced marketing department, except cheaper than one in-house hire and we actually deliver. Website, SEO, Google, reviews, missed-call recovery, content. One monthly fee, one report, one mobile number for everything.
Painters working Edinburgh get a slightly different setup than other trades. We focus the keyword targeting on the urgent painter searches (the ones with words like "interior redecorations" and "exterior paint peeling"). We structure the painter website so the phone number is always visible.
Bread-and-butter jobs for painters: interior redecorations, wallpaper hanging, commercial repaints. The customers searching for a painter are usually homeowners redecorating, landlords preparing properties, commercial premises, and they Google before they call.
Why Painters Lose Calls Around Here
Here is what we tell painters working Edinburgh and the surrounding areas when they ask the obvious question. The Google ranking for painter searches in Edinburgh is decided by the things most painters never touch. 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
Across the painters we have spoken to in Edinburgh, the same pattern keeps coming up. The painters ranking in the top three of Google Maps for Edinburgh get most of the calls. The trades on our list right now have a combined 700+ reviews on Google between them. That is the kind of business we work with: established, well-reviewed, but not yet visible enough on Google. We bridge that last gap.

The Three Things That Move the Needle
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
The SEO bit covers: keyword research, on-page optimisation, technical SEO (site speed, schema, sitemaps), Google Business Profile management, citation building, and monthly ranking reports. All of it is included, no add-ons.
Missed-Call Text-Back
Every missed call gets an automatic text within seconds. The script is plain and human (we wrote it ourselves, it does not say 'this is an automated message'). Most callers reply within minutes and book a callback.
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.

£199 setup. £199 a month. That covers the website, the Google profile, the reviews, the SEO, the missed-call texts, and a monthly report. Less than £6.70 a day.

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?
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 tech skills needed. We built this for trades and small business owners who do not want to mess with WordPress or Wix or Google Search Console. We do all of that. You run your business.
What if I already have a website?
No problem. We can keep your existing site and improve it, or rebuild it from scratch, your call. Your domain stays the same. Your old URLs keep working. Nothing breaks for your existing customers.
How long until I see results?
We cannot promise specific numbers because nobody honest can. What we can promise is that the work gets done every week, you get a real monthly report, and most clients see their first new enquiry from Google within four to six weeks.
Can I cancel?
Three months in, then cancel any time. The website is yours forever. We hand over the domain and the codebase if you want them, or we leave the site running and just stop the management work.
