Long-running SEO consultancy in Edinburgh city centre

About this business

An SEO consultancy that has worked on search for professional firms, hotels and charities since 2007. Four people work from a leased office in Edinburgh city centre, though the work could be moved elsewhere. Turnover has risen slowly, from £284k in 2021 to £320k. Adjusted EBITDA peaked at £73k in 2024 and has since dropped to £63k, mainly because staff costs grew faster than fees. Net profit is £47k. The asking price is £320k, and a buyer should look closely at pricing and how hours are recorded.
