Marketing for Falkirk businesses
Falkirk sits in the Forth Valley between Glasgow and Edinburgh, and industry has defined it since the Carron Ironworks of 1759. Grangemouth, on the edge of the town, is home to Scotland's largest petrochemical complex and its busiest container port, and the area is in the middle of a major transition as refining winds down and new low-carbon industry is planned. Around that sits a deep supply chain of maintenance, inspection, fabrication and specialist contractors.
For those contractors, marketing is mostly about finding new customers as the industry changes:
- Google Search on specific services, such as pipework fabrication, inspection or industrial maintenance, aimed across central Scotland and beyond
- LinkedIn Ads and content aimed at operations and procurement roles in hydrogen, carbon capture, renewables and other process industries
- New landing pages and case studies that speak to those buyers, since many contractors' websites still talk only about oil and chemicals
- Recruitment campaigns for skilled trades
Port and freight businesses use LinkedIn and search on specific services. Alexander Dennis, the bus manufacturer, is based in Larbert, supporting vehicle component suppliers who market B2B.
Falkirk is known worldwide for two modern landmarks: the Falkirk Wheel, the rotating boat lift, and the Kelpies at Helix Park. Both bring steady visitor traffic. Cafés, attractions and hospitality nearby benefit from Meta ads aimed at day-trippers and tourists, Instagram content and Google Business Profile updates with seasonal hours.
Forth Valley Royal Hospital in Larbert is a major employer, and care providers need family-facing search ads and recruitment campaigns. Retailers and trades in the town do best with local search and Facebook.
