Clear Strategy. Clear Growth. Clear Click.
Edinburgh is where we started. Scotland is where we prove it, every month.
Clear Click was founded in Edinburgh to fix something we kept seeing from the inside: agencies reporting activity while their clients waited for growth. So we built the firm we would want to hire. Senior consultants on every account, market intelligence before a pound is spent, and every engagement measured against revenue. Our registered home is Forth House on Rutland Square, and the businesses we have helped grow are rooted across Scotland, from whisky education to national holiday brands.
We are remote-first by design. It lets us put senior specialists on every account, chosen for their expertise rather than their postcode, and it means your budget buys senior thinking rather than office overheads. When a strategy deserves a room rather than a screen, we arrange to meet wherever your team is based.
Scotland's economy sets a high bar for search. We work with Scottish brands competing in Glasgow, Aberdeen and beyond, in markets such as financial services in Edinburgh and engineering and energy around Glasgow and Aberdeen, alongside a visitor economy with international standing and a deep bench of food, drink and professional services brands: these are markets where authority and trust decide who is found. Ambition here rarely stops at the border either. Most of the brands we partner with are competing across the wider UK and international markets, and we plan for that scale from the first engagement. Any SEO company in Scotland should be measuring itself against national competition, not just its own city.
On price, we would rather be clear up front. Senior-led SEO with us starts from £1,700 a month plus VAT, and a one-off SEO audit starts from £2,000 plus VAT. Below that level it is hard for any agency to put senior time on an account, and if your budget is smaller we will tell you what we would do with it instead. Our guide to what SEO costs in the UK has the detail.
Local SEO for Scottish businesses
If you serve customers in one part of Scotland, most of your search visibility is decided in the map results before anyone reaches a website. That comes down to four things we work on together: your Google Business Profile, consistent business details on the directories Google trusts, a steady flow of reviews, and pages that make clear which towns and services you cover.
If you serve all of Scotland, or the whole UK, the balance shifts towards national rankings, and your competitors are the national brands rather than the business down the road. Most of the Scottish businesses we work with sit somewhere in between, so we plan both from the start. Our own Google Business Profile has 12 reviews, all rated five stars, and it is run the same way.
What search looks like in Scotland's key sectors
Tourism and hospitality
Demand is seasonal and national, so the budget has to follow the booking calendar. Wigwam Holidays, a UK-wide holiday parks brand, generated over £1.4m across paid and organic channels with us in 2025.
Food, drink and visitor experiences
Buyers compare carefully and book ahead, so the website and the customer data behind it matter as much as rankings. Edinburgh Whisky Academy centralised its customer data with us and cut manual admin by 40%.
B2B, engineering and industrial
Small search volumes, high deal values and long buying cycles, so the measure is pipeline rather than traffic. AM Phillip Trucktech cut its cost per lead by 32% and increased qualified enquiries by 41%.

What Scottish Brands Get From Our SEO Consultants
Senior people, direct access
Nicolaas Kerkmeester and Alistair Mains, the two directors, plan your strategy and do the senior work themselves, so the person answering your questions is the person doing the work. No account-manager relay, no junior handoffs. When a conversation belongs across a table rather than a screen, we make that happen. Meet the team.
Human judgement, multiplied by AI
We use AI the way strong teams use any good instrument: to multiply senior thinking, never to replace it. Research, analysis and production move faster, which means the hours you pay for go to strategy, judgement and the decisions that actually grow market share. See how our human and AI collaboration works.
Proof from this country and beyond
Myagi grew organic sessions by 72% with us. Wigwam Holidays competes UK-wide and generated over £1.4m across paid and organic channels in 2025. The results, and the people behind them, are in our case studies.
The CLEAR Method, measured in revenue
Commercials, Learn, Execution, Analysis, Reinvest. We agree what growth is worth before anything is spent, learn the market before acting in it, and evaluate every month against revenue rather than activity. Insight compounds, and each cycle starts further ahead than the last. Read about the CLEAR Method.

SEO in Scotland, Answered
Do you work with businesses in Glasgow, Aberdeen and across Scotland?
Yes. We work with Scottish brands competing in Glasgow, Aberdeen and beyond, as well as in Edinburgh, where the business is registered. The work is run remote-first by our two directors, and when a strategy session deserves a room rather than a screen, we are glad to arrange to meet in person. More detail in our Edinburgh SEO page.
How much does SEO cost in Scotland?
Senior-led SEO with us starts from £1,700 a month plus VAT, and most programmes sit above that depending on how competitive your market is and how much needs doing. A one-off SEO audit starts from £2,000 plus VAT. Our guide to what SEO costs in the UK explains what each level of budget buys.
How long does SEO take to work?
Meaningful movement usually shows within three to six months, and the gains build after that. Local terms often move sooner than national ones because the field is smaller. We forecast the likely return before you commit, so the timeline is agreed rather than assumed.
Do you guarantee rankings?
No. Google decides rankings, so nobody can promise a position. What we commit to is a forecast before you spend, a clear plan for each quarter, and monthly reporting against revenue so you can judge the work on results.
What makes SEO competitive in Scotland's key sectors?
Many of Scotland's strongest sectors are ones where authority and trust decide who gets found. That includes financial services in Edinburgh, engineering and energy around Glasgow and Aberdeen, and a visitor economy with international reach. Buyers in these markets research carefully, so content, credibility and technical quality all need to hold up to scrutiny.
Should a Scottish business compete in search across the whole UK?
If your ambitions reach beyond Scotland, your search plan should too. Most of the brands we work with compete across the UK or internationally, and national competitors are the ones you will meet in the results. Wigwam Holidays, for example, competes UK-wide and generated over £1.4m across paid and organic channels in 2025.
Why is Clear Click remote-first when you were founded in Edinburgh?
Being remote-first lets us place senior specialists on every account, chosen for their expertise rather than where they live. It also means your budget pays for senior thinking rather than office overheads. Our registered home is still Forth House on Rutland Square in Edinburgh, and we meet Scottish clients in person whenever it helps.
Who from Clear Click works on a Scottish SEO account?
Nicolaas Kerkmeester, director, leads SEO and does the senior work on your account, and Alistair Mains, director, looks after paid media and the commercial side. The person answering your questions is the person doing the work, so there is no account manager relaying messages. You get direct access to the people making the decisions.
