Social Media Content: Built for Local Businesses in Duddingston
Duddingston forms part of City of Edinburgh. The area is situated at the foot of Arthur's Seat, within Holyrood Park.
According to ONS's March 2026 business count, there were 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.
Job density in City of Edinburgh was 1.11 in 2024 (ONS) - roughly that many jobs for every working-age resident. That's the local workforce and customer base social media content is competing to reach.
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
Step 1: Brand session
A short conversation about your tone of voice, your audience and what is worth posting about.
Step 2: Research
We look at your audience, your competitors and what has performed before.
Step 3: Monthly batch
We prepare posts, captions and graphics, with versions for each platform you have chosen.
Step 4: Your approval
You approve, change or reject every post. Nothing goes out without your say so.
Step 5: Scheduling and publishing
Approved posts are scheduled and go live on your accounts.
