Wedding Planners in Edinburgh: How to Get Into the Google Map Pack
We work with wedding-planners across Edinburgh who were sick of being invisible on Google while less experienced competitors got all the calls.
Built specifically for UK trades and local businesses
Edinburgh: Why Google Decides Who Gets the Calls
Edinburgh's wedding-planner market is usually classified as one of the busier ones in the wedding-planners sector by region. Plenty of demand, plenty of competition. The trades that get the calls are the ones in the top three of Google Maps for the city. Everyone else is sharing scraps.
Wedding Planners working Edinburgh typically cover Bruntsfield, Morningside, New Town, plus outlying areas like Dalkeith. The pattern keeps wedding-planner demand for budget management steady across most of Edinburgh through the year.
How Local SEO Actually Works for You
Wedding Planners in Edinburgh get the same diagnosis from us when they ask why their phone has slowed down. The wedding-planner listings ranking above them in Edinburgh have more reviews, fresher photos, and weekly Google profile posts. 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.
Wedding Planners in Edinburgh who join the package go through the same wedding-planner-specific onboarding: we collect wedding-planner business details, photos, and existing reviews on day one. We build the wedding-planner site over the following week and start the wedding-planner SEO and Google profile work in week two.
The work coming through the door for wedding-planners is mostly budget management, guest list management, and supplier coordination. Most wedding-planners are accredited with UK Alliance of Wedding Planners (UKAWP), and that is one of the things wedding-planner customers check before they call.
What Most Local Owners Get Wrong
Across the wedding-planners we have spoken to in Edinburgh, the same pattern keeps coming up. The wedding-planners ranking in the top three of Google Maps for Edinburgh get most of the calls. It is a maths problem. About 70% of local searches happen on a phone. About 44% of those clicks go to the three businesses in the Map Pack. If you're not one of those three, you're competing for the leftovers.
Real Clients We Already Run
In Edinburgh, 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 Edinburgh. We get your wedding-planner listing into that group. Quietly running seven UK trades businesses at the moment. None of them are pilot customers. None of them are getting the service for free. They are all paying full price every month and they are all still here.

The Three Things That Move the Needle
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
We target the search terms your customers actually type, not the ones the SEO tools say have the most volume. Half the high-volume keywords in any niche are useless because they are educational searches, not buying searches. We focus on the buying ones.
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
After every job (or once a week, depending on your workflow) the system automatically asks your customers for a Google review. About one in three actually leaves one. Over a year, that adds up to dozens of fresh reviews on your listing.
What It Costs
We do not believe in hiding prices, so here they are: £199 setup and £199 a month. Less than £6.70 a day. The maths usually works out the same way: One job from Google pays for the month.

Frequently Asked
What does it actually cost?
£199 setup, £199 per month. No surprise fees, no annual contract. Less than £6.70 a day. One job from Google pays for the month.
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?
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.
