How we measure SEO work in Edinburgh
A report does not pay the bills. What counts is that enquiries and orders go up.
More than 200 clients have worked with us.
If your business is missing from the first page of Google, most people will never know it exists. We work on your rankings in Edinburgh one step at a time, and in other countries too if you sell abroad.

The population of Edinburgh is about 510,000. It is in Scotland. There are 4 cities in Scotland with their own page here.
In a large city you are up against national chains, directories and firms that have invested in SEO for years. It pays to choose your searches carefully and begin with the ones you can win. Vértigo is based in Murcia, Spain, one hour ahead of Edinburgh. We work with clients abroad by video call, in English. We offer the same in Dundee, Glasgow and Newcastle upon Tyne.

Three examples of SEO in Edinburgh
Enrolments bunch into a few weeks of the year. The page for each course has to be ranking in Edinburgh before the school year starts, not after.
Tax questions are searched all year round: how to register, which form to file, what an accountant costs. Every well-written answer brings clients from Edinburgh to your firm.
Every booking that comes through your own site is a commission a portal does not take. We rank the hotel for its name, its area and the plans people search for in Edinburgh.

No two projects are alike. A law firm, an online shop and a clinic need different things, so the first job is getting to know your business and your customer.
We look at your site the way Google sees it: how fast it loads, which pages it can read and which errors are wasting its time.
We draw up the list of searches that really bring customers, separating the ones that only bring visits from the ones that end in a call or an order.
We improve your key pages and content so they answer what your customer is looking for better than anyone else does.
Links from newspapers, blogs and directories that carry weight in your sector, chosen one by one. No packages of a thousand links.
Google Business Profile and maps for your city, structure and content to compete nationwide, and a version per country and language to sell abroad.
We follow rankings, visits, calls and sales, and explain them without jargon. If something is not working, we change it.
Think of the last time you typed something like "maths tutor edinburgh" into Google. You probably clicked one of the first results and never saw the rest. A search for "small business accountant edinburgh" goes the same way for your customers.
Illustrative simulation. Every project moves at its own pace and nobody can guarantee a specific position on Google.
Before proposing anything we want to know your company, your numbers and what you have already tried.
We analyse your website, your rankings and your competitors. You receive a report with the actions in order of priority.
Each month has specific technical, content and link tasks, and you know what they are before they start.
We track rankings, traffic and results, and adjust the strategy with data.

Talk to the teamNo, and be wary of anyone who promises it. Google decides the order and changes it often. We commit to the part that does depend on us: the work done each month, and showing you the results, good or bad, in a report you can understand.
Yes. We work on your business listing on Google: categories, photos, opening hours and reviews. Those are the things that decide who appears on the map when someone searches for what you offer in Edinburgh. A profile that is complete and kept up to date is easier for Google to match with a search.
Almost never. The usual approach is to improve the site you have. We only suggest rebuilding it when the technology or the structure makes ranking impossible, and in that case we explain why, with data, before anything is touched. The decision is always yours.
Of course. Many businesses start with ads while SEO gathers strength, and then lower the ad spend gradually. We also run paid search, so we can coordinate the two: the ads show which searches turn into sales and the SEO work goes after those first.
We work on those too. We call it GEO, and the aim is for AI assistants to name your company in their answers. A good part of what is done for SEO counts there as well. Nobody controls what an assistant says, so we check it regularly and tell you what we find.
Your rankings do not vanish the day you stop, because the improvements stay on your site. What you lose is momentum: no new content, no new links, and competitors who carry on tend to overtake you in time. How fast that happens depends on how hard your sector competes.
