Grow your business in Edinburgh
Whether you run a restaurant in Leith, a boutique in Stockbridge, a salon in Bruntsfield or a bakery in Portobello, the best way to market your business in Edinburgh is to be seen in the places local people already trust. La Vida Edinburgh gives Edinburgh businesses a journalist-written story, an online magazine feature, a social media campaign and press coverage, with print magazine features and adverts for those who want to reach readers off-screen too.
Our marketing and PR packages are built for small and independent businesses that want to advertise locally without long contracts. We promote businesses across Edinburgh city centre, the Old Town, the New Town, Leith, Stockbridge, Bruntsfield, Morningside, Marchmont, Portobello, Corstorphine, Musselburgh, North Berwick, Linlithgow and Dalkeith, telling positive stories that get shared, and creating photography, video and branding that keeps working for you long after the feature goes live.

Marketing your business in Edinburgh: FAQs
What is the best way to market my business in Edinburgh?
The best way to market a business in Edinburgh is to combine a genuine local story with the channels Edinburgh people actually use: a feature in a local magazine, a social media campaign, local press coverage, and a strong Google Business Profile. Our packages bundle these together, with your story written by a journalist and published online, shared across our social channels and, on Gold, printed in the magazine.
How can I advertise my business in Edinburgh?
You can advertise your business in Edinburgh with La Vida Edinburgh through an online magazine feature (Silver, £299) or an online and print feature (Gold, £399). Print adverts are £199 for a half A4 page and £249 for a full A4 page, including design.
How do I promote my small business locally in Edinburgh?
Start with what makes your business different, whether that is your founder story, your products or your place in the community, and tell it where locals will see it. A journalist-written feature, shared on social media and backed by press coverage, gives a small business credibility that a standard advert cannot. We can also create photography, social clips, promo videos, branding and websites.
How can I grow my business in Edinburgh?
Growing a business in Edinburgh comes down to being visible and trusted locally. Regular, positive coverage builds awareness; professional content gives you material for your own website and social channels; and links from a respected local publication can support your search visibility. Book a free 15-minute strategy call and a local journalist will help you map out your story.
How much does it cost to advertise in a Edinburgh magazine?
Our feature packages cost £299 (Silver) and £399 (Gold). Half A4 print adverts are £199 and full A4 adverts £249, including design. Prices exclude VAT. There are no complex retainers.
Which areas of Edinburgh do you cover?
We cover the whole of Edinburgh, including Edinburgh city centre, the Old Town, the New Town, Leith, Stockbridge, Bruntsfield, Morningside, Marchmont, Portobello, Corstorphine, Musselburgh, North Berwick, Linlithgow and Dalkeith, as part of the La Vida Media network that reaches 100,000+ people across the UK.
Are your features paid advertorials?
Yes. The vast majority of features on our website are paid advertorials. We are honest and up front about that, and every story is written by a journalist to be worth reading.
