We cover Livingston, Bathgate, Linlithgow, Broxburn and Whitburn.

Marketing Livingston businesses can actually see working

Livingston is busy. Between the shopping centre, the retail parks and the business parks, there’s a lot of competition for attention, online and off. Good marketing in Livingston isn’t about doing everything. It’s about doing the few things that bring in customers, consistently, and being able to see what’s working each month.

Digital marketing Livingston

For digital marketing in Livingston, we work with hospitality, retail, fitness, beauty and trade businesses across the town’s neighbourhoods, from Eliburn and Dedridge to Ladywell and Craigshill. A lot of Livingston customers find businesses through Google Maps and Instagram, so we usually start there.

Digital marketing Linlithgow

Linlithgow has a strong independent business scene and plenty of visitors to the Palace and the High Street. Digital marketing in Linlithgow often means beautiful photography, reels that show the town’s character, and a Google profile that helps visitors find you.

Bathgate, Broxburn and Whitburn

In Bathgate, Broxburn and Whitburn, we help local businesses compete with bigger Livingston retailers by owning their own town online: strong Google listings, local reviews, regular posts and small, targeted ads.

What West Lothian customers expect online

Whatever you sell, your customers in West Lothian are checking you out online before they visit, call or buy. In practice, that means they expect:

• Up-to-date photos that show what you actually look like today.
• Recent Google reviews, with replies from the owner.
• Accurate opening hours on Google, Facebook and your website.
• Signs of life on social media, so they know you’re open and busy.
• A quick way to get in touch: a call button, a booking link or a short form.

None of this is complicated, but it takes time to keep on top of every week. That’s the part we take off your hands. Our marketing in Livingston and the wider county is built around keeping these basics strong, then adding paid ads or extra content when you want to grow faster.

Where West Lothian businesses usually start

• Restaurants and cafés: a food shoot and a free menu audit.
• Trades: Google Business Profile and a clear website with a page per service.
• Retail and beauty: monthly reels and posts, with small local ads at busy times.
• Events and venues: event photography and video to promote the next one.
