The Scotland market
This reflects a genuine preference for working within the country, and it produces search volume that agencies targeting only Glasgow and Edinburgh never see. But the cities are not interchangeable and a page that mentions everywhere while saying nothing specific about anywhere will not compete. Edinburgh skews towards finance, government and tourism. Glasgow towards trades, retail and a growing technology sector. Aberdeen remains tied to energy, with search demand that moves with oil prices in a way no other UK city experiences. Dundee has built a real games and creative industry. The workable approach is a Scotland page for national demand plus city pages for the markets you genuinely serve, with content that acknowledges the differences rather than blurring them.
Yes, and it is under-used. Country-level search is a genuine habit here in a way regional search is not in England. Most competitors target only the cities, which leaves the national demand largely uncontested.
