## About Musselburgh

Musselburgh, "the Honest Toun", sits where the River Esk meets the Forth, with a racecourse, the old Fisherrow harbour and an easy commute into Edinburgh. New housing at Wallyford and on the edges has brought many young families, while Inveresk has some of the finest period houses in East Lothian. That mix means both new-build owners hunting for their first local trades and owners of listed homes who want specialists. Naming both types of work, and the specific villages, gets a Musselburgh business better enquiries.

## Questions

### Do you actually work with businesses in this area?

Yes. We are based in Exeter and build websites for businesses right across the UK. The work is done remotely, by phone, WhatsApp and video call, and we will not pretend to have an office down the road from you.

### Does it matter that you are not local to me?

For building and looking after a website, no. Everything is done by phone, WhatsApp and video call, and you approve the design on your own phone before anything goes live. What does matter is local search visibility, and that depends on the site and your Google Business Profile being set up for your area, not on where we sit.

### How do I compete with bigger businesses in my area locally?

By being specific. A large regional firm usually has one page that covers everywhere; you can have a page about what you do in your town, naming the areas you cover and the jobs you do. Add a fast site and a fully completed Google Business Profile, and you are giving local searchers a clearer answer than a page written for the whole region.
