Web Design Testimonials
We’ve received countless compliments about how professional and user friendly our website is. We’ve since been in contact with Liam who has created guides for us to be able to update the website ourselves as well as expand and develop the website as we grow as a company. It has been a very smooth and effortless collaboration with Soapbox and has given us a brilliant website which has increased our sales. We look forward to continuing to work with them in the future as we grow and expand.
Soapbox have been dealing with all my fliers, websites, and vehicles graphics for over ten years now. Great guys, great team to work with. The guys always lend a real personal experience and are happy to keep me up to date with the digital side of things and help me put together design ideas for my marketing.
The Soapbox team have paid for themselves many times over from the extra business that has come from enquiries.
I had the pleasure of working with Soapbox Digital Media to design a website for my restaurant, Pendulum. I was impressed with their professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail. The end result was a beautiful website that has received positive feedback from customers. I highly recommend Soapbox Digital Media for anyone looking for high-quality web design services, especially if you’re a restaurant owner like myself.
A MASSIVE thank you to all the Soapbox team for their ongoing support with our BakeBox Gifting website. From creation, to content, and all the further developments inbetween! Soapbox are an invaluable extension to any business and offer a wide skill set to help best reflect any website need. Thanks again for all your help in maximising opportunities for business success and growth.
I have worked with the guys at Soapbox for design and print through my other company, Colourfence, so when it came to launching Mangow there was only one place I was going for both my new website and print materials. Both the digital team and print team were excellent throughout the entire project and produced top quality products that I am absolutely delighted with. My business partner and I were kept involved during the whole process and any thoughts or ideas we had were taken on board, it was clear that they cared about the end product and how we felt. We highly recommend Soapbox, the finished product is outstanding and the customer service is fantastic. If you need a website or something designed and printed get in touch with them!
Our Great Clients
Digital Marketing Services
Take a look at the Edinburgh businesses topping Google right now. The ones holding position in competitive sectors haven’t got there by accident, they’ve been building their digital presence consistently, channel by channel, for years.
If your business isn’t in that group yet, the good news is the gap is absolutely closeable. You just need the right strategy and a team that knows what they’re doing and stays on top of how the online space is adapting,
We’re Soapbox Digital Media, a full-service digital marketing agency that’s been helping Scottish businesses grow online since 2012.
We cover SEO, Google Ads, paid social, email marketing, content creation, web design, and brand development, and we do all of it in-house so nothing falls through the cracks.
Our Edinburgh clients span hospitality, professional services, retail, trades, and e-commerce. If you’ve got customers to find, we’re pretty good at finding them.
Digital marketing services for Edinburgh businesses
The online space is changing, rapidly.
We’re big fans of digital marketing that actually does something for people and businesses, and we love to stay ahead of the game.
Every channel we recommend has to earn its place in your budget, no padding, no guesswork.
Here’s what a joined-up approach looks like for Edinburgh businesses.
Search engine optimisation
SEO is how Edinburgh businesses build long-term visibility on Google without paying for every single click.
Done properly, the rankings compound over time, strong positions attract links, links build authority, authority holds the rankings. It’s a satisfying loop when it works.
We handle the full picture: technical website health, on-page content optimisation, internal linking, and off-site link building, all as part of one coherent strategy rather than a patchwork of tactics.
For businesses with a local customer base, local SEO is where we start.
Showing up on Google Maps when someone in Morningside, Leith, or the New Town searches for your service is worth a lot more than ranking nationally for terms your nearby competitors aren’t even targeting.
We track enquiries and conversions against your SEO activity, not just keyword positions.
Google Ads and PPC campaigns
Google Ads gets your Edinburgh business to the top of search results immediately.
You pay per click, and if the campaign’s structured properly. We always target clicks at people who are actively searching for exactly what you offer.
We handle everything: keyword research, ad copy, bid management, and landing page improvements.
Conversion tracking goes in from day one, so you can see what your paid ads are generating rather than staring at impressions and hoping it is making an impact.
We optimise each month using your account analytics to improve click quality and bring cost per lead down over time.
Social media management and paid social
Social media for an Edinburgh hospitality brand looks completely different to social media for an Edinburgh solicitor.
One needs scroll-stopping content that makes people want to book. The other needs LinkedIn posts that build authority with decision-makers over time.
A retailer needs Meta and TikTok ad campaigns structured to reach people who’ve shown purchase intent and bring them back to convert.
We figure out where your audience spends their time, and that’s where we focus.
Paid social adds a precision that organic content alone can’t match.
Brand awareness campaigns reach new audiences based on location, interests, and behaviour. Direct response campaigns drive traffic to specific product launches or seasonal promotions.
We manage your paid media and organic social as one joined-up effort, because they work a lot better that way.
Email marketing and CRM Systems
If you’re sitting on a customer email list and not utlising it, you’re missing out on business!
Your list is a direct line to people who’ve already bought from you or shown genuine interest. It can be worth a lot more than cold traffic that is also checking out your competition.
Regular email contact keeps your organisation top of mind, drives repeat business, and converts previous enquiries into customers when the timing finally lines up.
We build email campaigns from scratch or tidy up what’s already in place.
That covers CRM integration, automated sequences that run without needing ongoing management, and one-off campaigns for product launches, events, or seasonal pushes.
Content creation and digital content
Great content pays off.
It gives SEO something to rank, social media something worth sharing, and website visitors a reason to get in touch rather than clicking back to Google and trying someone else.
We produce digital content for Edinburgh businesses that’s properly researched, clearly written, and built to perform in search: service pages, blog posts, landing pages, and supporting copy across every channel.
We analyse what your Edinburgh competitors are publishing, find the gaps, and produce even stronger coverage of the same topics.
Creative marketing content that also performs in search needs both good writing and a solid technical understanding of how Google reads a page.
Web design and website development
A website designed with your digital marketing strategy in mind from day one performs very differently to one that had SEO or ads bolted on afterwards.
We design and build websites for Edinburgh businesses that load fast, work properly on mobile, and turn visitors into enquiries.
User experience sits at the centre of every decision we make: people are impatient online, and a site that’s confusing to navigate loses leads fast.
Our web design and website development covers brochure sites, e-commerce stores, booking systems, and full rebuilds for businesses that have outgrown what they’ve currently got.
We also handle ongoing maintenance for clients who’d rather have a long-term technical partner than call a different person every time something breaks.
If your current site isn’t converting the way it should, we’ll look at it and help you improve it.
A marketing strategy tailored to your Edinburgh business
Edinburgh businesses operate across some very different markets.
A hospitality company chasing UK visitors has completely different marketing goals to a solicitor building a local client base, and both are a world apart from an ecommerce brand trying to scale nationally.
Before we recommend anything, we spend time genuinely understanding your business.
We map the digital marketing landscape in your sector, look at what your Edinburgh competitors are doing across search and paid channels, and spot where your digital presence is leaving opportunities on the table.
From that, we build a data-driven strategy tailored to your business needs. The right channel mix, the right messaging, and the right metrics to track.
If you need to build the business cases for digital marketing investment internally, we can help with that conversation too.
We pride ourselves on always staying ahead of the game and keeping a close eye on emerging technologies.
AI tools are changing how search operates and how content performs across the digital landscape, and we factor those shifts into every Edinburgh client strategy so your approach is based on what’s working now, not what was working three years ago.
For marketing strategies that have the future in mind, reach out to our friendly team today for your free consultation.

Full-service agency
We specialise in digital marketing, but it doesn’t stop right there.
Web design, graphic design, brand strategy, videography, AI automation, call systems, CRM systems, and more.
All of it is produced in-house by the same team that handles your campaigns.
When your website, your digital campaigns, your brand development, and your journey is handled by the one team, everything stays consistent.
Your message and brand is the same whether someone’s found you on Google, seen your ad on Instagram, or picked up your leaflet.
Experienced digital marketing professionals
We’ve been at this since 2012.
Our team has worked through multiple algorithm updates, platform shifts, and the kind of sweeping changes in how customers find businesses online that would give most people a headache.
That experience means we know which approaches build rankings that hold and which ones produce a short-term spike that vanishes the moment you stop feeding it.
We stay on top of all the changes in the digital marketing landscape, so you can focus on running your business.
We measure marketing activities against what matters
We report on leads, sales, and ROI.
You’ll know exactly how many enquiries your digital marketing generated each month, which channel produced them, and what we are working on in the future to give your business better outcomes.
If something isn’t performing, we say so. Then we fix it.
Areas we cover in and around Edinburgh
Our headquarters may be based in Glasgow, but we are proud to serve clients across Edinburgh and beyond.
Whether you live in the the city centre, Leith, Morningside, Bruntsfield, Stockbridge, or the New Town. Or further afield in Midlothian, East Lothian, and across Fife, we provide digital marketing services that reach beyond the city itself, we’re set up for that.
We work around your business needs.
For most remote works perfectly with calls available when needed and in-person reviews for clients who prefer a face-to-face catch-up.

Digital marketing agency in Edinburgh: your questions answered
What digital marketing services do you offer Edinburgh businesses?
The full range: SEO, Google Ads and PPC campaigns, paid social across Meta, TikTok, and LinkedIn, email marketing, content creation, web design and website development, brand strategy, graphic design, and videography. Everything’s handled in-house by the same team, no outsourcing, no subcontractors.
How long does it take to see results from digital marketing?
Paid ads and paid social can start generating enquiries within days of a properly structured campaign going live. SEO is a longer game but the results pay off in the long haul. We’ll set realistic timelines from day one rather than telling you what you want to hear, and we report on progress every month.
Do you work with Edinburgh businesses of all sizes?
Yes, from sole traders to companies with national reach. We build strategies around your actual budget, goals, and competition rather than pushing a one-size-fits-all package. If you want to start with one channel and expand as results come in, we’ll tell you which one to prioritise first and why.
