How Edinburgh Signages Are Filling Their Diary from Google
Edinburgh's signages 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 signage
Edinburgh's housing is georgian and victorian stone tenements, new town terraces, and modern suburban developments, which means the typical jobs for signages are predictable and repeat. The owners who get the call-outs are the ones whose listing turns up first when somebody in Portobello or Bruntsfield types the trade name into Google.
The neighbourhoods that drive most call volume for signages in Edinburgh are New Town, Leith, and Portobello. Outlying areas like Dalkeith and Livingston send signage work in too, especially for health and safety signage and other urgent jobs.
What We Do
In Edinburgh, the signages 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 signage services in Edinburgh. We get your signage listing into that group. The list, with no marketing spin: website built by us, Google Business Profile run by us, review automation, missed-call text-back, quote follow-ups, monthly performance report, four pieces of fresh content per month. That's the package.
Signages in Edinburgh typically have between 60-120 direct competitors fighting for the same Google ranking. We get your signage 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 signage: variations of health and safety signage, illuminated signs, and exhibition stands. The signages that target those exact phrases on their Google profile are the ones whose phones do not stop ringing.
Why Signages Lose Calls Around Here
In Edinburgh, the signages 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 signage services in Edinburgh. We get your signage listing into that group. There are two kinds of local businesses right now: the ones at the top of Google for their area, and the ones whose phones are quietly drying up. There's almost no middle ground anymore.
Real Clients We Already Run
Across the signages we have spoken to in Edinburgh, the same pattern keeps coming up. The signages ranking in the top three of Google Maps for Edinburgh get most of the calls. If you want to know whether we are real before you commit a penny, ask us for a current client's number. We will give it to you with their permission and you can call them. Three of them have already taken reference calls for prospective clients this month.

The Three Things That Move the Needle
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
What we measure: keyword positions, Google Business Profile views, direction requests, calls from the listing, and form fills on your website. The monthly report shows all of these versus the previous month with no marketing spin.
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
Customers who would have left a review forget to within 24 hours. The automation catches them in the window when they remember, while the job is still fresh. That window is the entire game with online reviews.
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?
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?
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.
