The Edinburgh market

What makes advertising here different

The property

Edinburgh has more listed buildings than almost anywhere in Britain, and the Old and New Towns are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. That is not a detail, it is the operating constraint. A very large share of the city's property comes with rules about what may be done to the exterior, and the firms that win here are the ones who can prove they will not damage anything. Outside the centre, Corstorphine, Colinton and the Lothian commuter belt are a far more conventional market.

The weather and the geography

Edinburgh is drier than Glasgow but considerably windier, sitting exposed to the east coast and the Firth of Forth. Wind-driven rain on stone is the problem here rather than the steady saturation of the west, and the eastern exposure means salt reaches properties through Portobello, Leith and Musselburgh.

Competition. Edinburgh's agency market is heavily weighted towards finance, tourism and tech. Trade advertising is comparatively uncontested, and click costs sit well below the English cities of similar size.

Where the money is

Four trades worth building a campaign around in Edinburgh

Four different trades, not four versions of the same one. If yours is not here it does not mean we cannot run it, it means these are the ones the local market rewards most.

Exterior cleaning

Conservation-safe stone cleaning

The highest barrier to entry of any job on this list. Proving you will not damage protected stone is the entire sales conversation.

Roofing

Tenement slate and common repairs

Shared ownership makes these bigger, slower and far more valuable than a single domestic roof.

Driveway installation

Natural stone setts and paving

Conservation rules dictate the material across much of the city, which removes the cheapest competition automatically.

Carpet and upholstery

Short let turnaround cleaning

One of the largest short-let markets in Britain, needing fast scheduled turnarounds rather than one-off bookings.

What we run

Four channels, and the honest version of what each one does

Meta ads

Fastest to produce leads. Live within a week, and the one to start with if the diary needs filling now.

Google ads

Catches people already searching for the job. Dearer per click, warmer lead.

Honest bit

Nobody needs to be in a van. Ads, Google Maps and SEO are all delivered remotely, so whether we are in Edinburgh or not changes nothing about the work itself. What it does change is how fast we learn your local competitive picture, and we build that properly in the first fortnight rather than guessing at it.

If the numbers do not work for your area, we will say so on the call rather than take the money.

Questions

What Edinburgh firms ask first

Does the festival affect when I should advertise?

For anything touching short-let and rental property, yes, noticeably. The turnaround work clusters around the season. For ordinary domestic work the effect is mostly that the city centre becomes impossible to work in for a few weeks, which is a scheduling problem rather than an advertising one.

Can you handle the listed building side?

We would not pretend to be the expert on it. You are. What we do is make sure your advertising leads with the fact that you can work legally and safely on protected property, because that is the single strongest differentiator available in this city.

Am I tied into a contract?

No. Everything is month to month. If it is not working you stop, and we would rather you did that than stay on out of politeness.

Do you work with businesses outside your own area?

Yes. Every client we have is run remotely, including the ones a few miles from our office in Manchester. Ads, Google Maps and SEO are all delivered the same way wherever you are.
