Working Edinburgh as a recruitment-agency
Most recruitment-agencies working Edinburgh cover Morningside, Cramond, and a bit of Dunfermline. The customers in those areas Google for what they need before they call anyone, and Google usually shows them three options. We get you into those three.
Recruitment Agencies working Edinburgh have a slightly different mix than recruitment-agencies elsewhere because of the neighbourhoods involved. Most Edinburgh recruitment-agency calls come from Bruntsfield, Cramond, Morningside and the corridor toward Dalkeith.
What We Do
Here is what we tell recruitment-agencies working Edinburgh and the surrounding areas when they ask the obvious question. The Google ranking for recruitment-agency searches in Edinburgh is decided by the things most recruitment-agencies never touch. What you actually get: a real website (not a template), a properly run Google profile, an automated review system, missed-call text-back, four blog posts a month, and a monthly report. All in. No upsells, no add-ons, no tiered features hidden behind a 'contact sales' button.
Recruitment Agencies in Edinburgh who join the package go through the same recruitment-agency-specific onboarding: we collect recruitment-agency business details, photos, and existing reviews on day one. We build the recruitment-agency site over the following week and start the recruitment-agency SEO and Google profile work in week two.
The work coming through the door for recruitment-agencies is mostly speed of hire, industry-specific recruitment, and finding skilled candidates. Most recruitment-agencies are accredited with Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC), Employment Agency Standards Inspectorate, and that is one of the things recruitment-agency customers check before they call.
Why Recruitment Agencies Lose Calls Around Here
For recruitment-agencies covering Edinburgh, the part of this most owners miss is the local search angle. The recruitment-agency customers in Edinburgh Google your trade plus a neighbourhood name, and only the top three results get the call. If you ask the average local business owner what their marketing is, the answer is usually 'word of mouth'. Word of mouth is great. It is also slow, unpredictable, and dries up the moment your best customers move house. Google is the bit that backs it up.
Real Clients We Already Run
Recruitment Agencies in Edinburgh are competing with 200-400 other listings for the same calls. Here is what separates the busy recruitment-agencies from the ones whose phones have gone quiet. 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
Set-up takes us about 20 minutes. We hook your business number into the system, write the auto-reply text in your tone of voice (or copy yours if you have one), and turn it on. From that moment forward, every missed call gets a text reply within ten seconds.
Review Automation
Plain version: customer pays, gets a text the same day, taps the link, leaves a review on Google. Three taps, two minutes, one fresh review on your listing. Repeat for every job, forever.
What It Costs
No tiers, no hidden fees, no surprise upsells: £199 setup and £199 a month. Less than £6.70 a day. One job from Google pays for the month. Cancel after three months with no fuss.

Frequently Asked
What does it actually cost?
Same price for every client. £199 setup, £199 a month. We do not haggle, we do not run promotions, and we do not have a 'special deal this week'. The price you see is what you pay.
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?
None at all. We are the team you would hire to handle the technical side of marketing, except cheaper, and run by one person who actually replies. You do not touch any settings, ever.
What if I already have a website?
If you have already got a website, we will migrate it over and keep your domain. Your old content stays, your pages stay, your URLs stay. Nothing breaks. We just make it faster and rebuild the bits that are not working.
How long until I see results?
Some things move quickly (Google profile improvements, missed-call recovery, more reviews) and some things take longer (search rankings, traffic). Most of our clients see noticeable improvement in the first month and bigger movement by month three.
Can I cancel?
Quick version: three months minimum, then cancel whenever you like by text. The website stays with you. No exit fees, no penalties, no admin charges.
