Aberdeen: Why Google Decides Who Gets the Calls
The Granite City, Europe's oil capital, third-largest city in Scotland. North Sea climate; cold winters, cool summers, frequent wind and haar (sea fog). Both of those things create regular, predictable demand for wedding-planners. The owners who show up first on Google get the calls. The owners who do not, get the leftovers.
For wedding-planners working Aberdeen, the busy postcodes are usually AB, with steady call volume from Torry, Bridge of Don and Old Aberdeen. Typical wedding-planner jobs in Aberdeen: timeline planning, venue selection.
How Local SEO Actually Works for You
In Aberdeen, the wedding-planners 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 wedding-planner services in Aberdeen. We get your wedding-planner listing into that group. Honest list of what is included so you can compare: website (built and hosted), Google Business Profile (set up and run weekly), review automation, SEO work, missed-call text-back, monthly report. Nothing hidden.
Every wedding-planner in Aberdeen on our list gets the same six things: a fast wedding-planner website, a properly run Google profile, automatic review requests after each wedding-planner job, missed-call text-back, four blog posts a month tuned to wedding-planner buyer searches, and a monthly report.
Wedding Planners usually serve engaged couples planning weddings, typically booking 12-18 months in advance. The jobs that come through tend to be guest list management, venue selection, and timeline planning. Wedding Planners who turn up first on Google for those exact phrases get most of the work in their area.
What Most Local Owners Get Wrong
When we look at wedding-planners in Aberdeen who have gone quiet, the cause is almost always the same one. Their Google Business Profile is half-empty and they are not ranking for the wedding-planner keywords Aberdeen customers actually use. 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
When we look at wedding-planners in Aberdeen who have gone quiet, the cause is almost always the same one. Their Google Business Profile is half-empty and they are not ranking for the wedding-planner keywords Aberdeen customers actually use. 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
Local SEO is the bulk of what we do. Real keyword research using DataForSEO, on-page optimisation for the queries that bring calls, Google profile management every week, and ranking checks every Monday. No hand-waving, no monthly PDF that says 'progressing well'.
Missed-Call Text-Back
The text that goes out is editable so you can change the tone if you want. We start with one we have tested across our existing trades clients and tweak from there. The default reply pulls about 30-40% engagement.
Review Automation
What you get over a year is the difference between 'has 12 reviews from 2023' and 'has 50 reviews, the most recent one yesterday'. Google ranks the second listing higher every time.

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?
Six things every month: Google profile updates, fresh website content, automated review requests, missed-call recovery, ranking checks, and a monthly report. No add-ons, no upsells, no surprise charges.
Do I need to do anything technical?
Zero technical work for you. We are not a DIY platform or a course. We do the actual work. The only thing we need from you is your business details and the occasional decision (do you want this colour or that colour, that sort of thing).
What if I already have a website?
Yes, we migrate it. Domain stays yours. Existing pages stay live. Customers who bookmarked your old site will still get to it. The only thing they will notice is that it loads faster than it used to.
How long until I see results?
Quickest wins: missed-call text-back and review automation start working immediately. Google Maps improvements show up within a few weeks. Organic search rankings are slower, three to six months is normal for meaningful gains.
Can I cancel?
Minimum three months because that is a fair amount of time to actually show results. After that, you are free to leave. The website you paid for is yours: domain, content, the lot.
