SEO Pages: Built for Local Businesses in Canongate
Located in City of Edinburgh (Scotland), Canongate takes in the EH8 postcode district and neighbours South Side, Calton and Piershill. Edinburgh's Royal Mile runs along the 'crag and tail' left by a glacier scraping past the extinct volcano that Edinburgh Castle now sits on, linking the Castle to Holyroodhouse along five joined streets first named as a single route by a writer in 1901. Squeezed for space within the old town walls, builders had nowhere to go but up, lining the Mile with tenements ten storeys and higher centuries before the word 'skyscraper' existed anywhere else.
ONS counted 18,635 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses here. Essential Edinburgh runs the city centre's Business Improvement District, covering New Town from Charlotte Square to the St James Centre, while the separately run Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce brings together more than 800 businesses citywide.
73.8% of new businesses in City of Edinburgh were still trading two years on, as of 2022 (ONS). That kind of churn is precisely why seo pages matters - standing still isn't an option when the market around you isn't.
About SEO Pages
Most business websites have a page or two per service and hope for the best. SEO Pages fills the gaps: we create useful pages for each of your products and services in each of the areas you genuinely serve, then publish them on your own website and put them in front of Google and Bing.
How it works, start to finish
Step 1: Agree the pages
We map your services and operating areas, then agree the page plan with you before a single word is written.
Step 2: We write the pages
Each page is written to be genuinely useful: what the service involves, the areas covered, and the answers real customers want.
Step 3: You approve
Nothing goes live until you have read it and are happy with it.
Step 4: We publish
Approved pages are added to your website and linked from the relevant places, so visitors and search engines can find them.
Step 5: We submit
We update your sitemap and submit it through Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools where applicable. No automated shortcuts.
