Start with a free EDI audit →Video Is Now the Default Content Format in Edinburgh
82% of all internet traffic is video. Edinburgh consumers on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube expect to see video from brands they consider buying from. Text-only businesses feel outdated in comparison.
Video Increases Ad Performance Dramatically
Video ads in Edinburgh's market consistently achieve 3–5× higher CTR than static image ads at the same budget. Better creative means your ad spend goes significantly further.
Video Builds the Trust That Converts
Seeing your face, your team, and your work on video builds the kind of trust that text and photos can't match. City Centre and Leith buyers who watch your video are dramatically more likely to contact you.

Why Video Editing Matters in Edinburgh
Sound Familiar? These Are the Edinburgh Challenges We Solve Every Day.
Raw Footage Sitting Unused
You recorded your service, your team, your results — but it never got edited. That footage is costing you leads every day it sits raw. We handle everything from the first cut to the final upload.
Video Editing Takes Too Long Internally
Editing is a skilled, time-consuming craft. Doing it yourself takes away from running your Edinburgh business. We turn it around in 48 hours so your content never falls behind schedule.
DIY Videos Look Unprofessional
Shaky footage, bad audio, jump cuts, and no captions signal to Edinburgh customers that your business cuts corners. Professional editing transforms the same footage into something that builds trust.
Poor Audio Kills Great Video
Viewers will forgive imperfect video, but they leave within seconds if the audio is bad. We clean up audio, remove background noise, and mix levels so your Edinburgh video sounds as good as it looks.

Chris Nakamura

"The website Rankston built us looks like it belongs to a company 10x our size. Fast, beautiful, and it actually converts. Our membership sign-ups through the website went from 3/month to 22/month. The design speaks for itself."

4 Costly Mistakes Edinburgh Businesses Make
We see these same mistakes constantly — and every one of them is avoidable.
Posting raw, unedited footage
Even a basic edit — good pacing, clean audio, captions — can transform raw footage from something people scroll past to something they watch all the way through.
No captions on videos
85% of social video is watched without sound. Captions are required for engagement. We add clean, accurate captions to every video as standard practice.
One format for all platforms
A horizontal YouTube video looks wrong on Instagram. A vertical TikTok looks wrong on LinkedIn. We export correctly for each platform so your video performs optimally everywhere.
Posting inconsistently
Video channels grow through consistency, not one viral attempt. We keep your Edinburgh business posting on a reliable schedule so algorithms and audiences keep growing month over month.
