Straight answers about local SEO for Edinburgh businesses — no jargon, no sales pitch.

What does an SEO agency in Edinburgh actually do?: We improve how your website is found on Google: technical fixes so your site loads fast and is easy for Google to crawl, content and keywords that match what your customers search for, and local SEO so you show up for "near me" and Edinburgh-based searches. The goal is more relevant visitors and more enquiries. See our services.
Do you only work with businesses in Edinburgh?: We focus on Edinburgh and the surrounding area — Musselburgh, Dalkeith, Leith, Stockbridge, and nearby towns. That lets us specialise in local SEO for the searches your customers use. If you're based in or targeting Edinburgh, we can help.
How is Get SEO Edinburgh different from a general marketing agency?: We only do local SEO. No PPC management, no social media packages, no web design unless it supports rankings. That focus means every hour goes toward getting you found on Google.

How long until we see results from SEO?: Quick wins — like fixing your Google Business Profile or site speed — can show results in 2–4 weeks. Rankings for competitive keywords usually take 3–6 months. We set realistic expectations and show progress via Search Console. Read our full guide: how long does SEO take.
How much does SEO cost for a Edinburgh business?: It depends on your site size, competition, and goals. Most small Edinburgh businesses need £300–500/month for basic local SEO; competitive markets may need £500–1,000/month. We offer a free review so you know scope and cost before committing.
Is SEO better than Google Ads?: They serve different purposes. Ads give immediate visibility but stop when you stop paying. SEO builds long-term visibility that keeps working. Many Edinburgh businesses use both. Compare them in our SEO vs Google Ads guide.

Do you require long contracts?: No. We start with a free review, then most clients stay on a rolling monthly basis because the work delivers — not because they're locked in for twelve months.
What happens after I submit the form?: We review your details and site within 1–2 working days, then email you with a clear summary of the main opportunities and recommended next steps. No obligation.
Do you guarantee page-one rankings?: No reputable SEO service can guarantee specific rankings — Google doesn't work that way. What we do guarantee is ethical work, transparent reporting, and a focus on enquiries rather than vanity metrics.
