Social Media Content: Built for Local Businesses in Blackford

Within City of Edinburgh, Scotland, Blackford shares postcode district EH9 with neighbouring Sciennes, Marchmont and Newington. 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's figures for March 2026 recorded 18,635 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses in the area. 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.

Population density in City of Edinburgh was 2,015 people per square km in 2024 (ONS). More or fewer people nearby changes how much opportunity there is - social media content is how you make the most of it.

About Social Media Content

Social Media Content is our monthly service for owners who would rather run their business than stare at an empty caption box. We think of the ideas, write the words and design the graphics, then send every batch to you for approval before anything goes out.

How it works, start to finish

  1. Step 1: Brand session

    A short conversation about your tone of voice, your audience and what is worth posting about.

  2. Step 2: Research

    We look at your audience, your competitors and what has performed before.

  3. Step 3: Monthly batch

    We prepare posts, captions and graphics, with versions for each platform you have chosen.

  4. Step 4: Your approval

    You approve, change or reject every post. Nothing goes out without your say so.

  5. Step 5: Scheduling and publishing

    Approved posts are scheduled and go live on your accounts.
