Best Startup Scotland Featured my Company

If you have been featured in a BestStartup.scot article, first of all, congratulations. Our analysts do their best to select the best companies.

How to Capitalise on a Mention?

There are a few things you can do to get maximum exposure.

  • Share the article across your socials. This will make it more likely to appear higher in google and drive medium/long term sales to your website.
  • Write a Press Release announcing you were selected as a top company. We offer press release writing services for $50/1k words (our writer costs). Feel free to contact us for more information.
  • Write a short blog post showing your readers that you have been selected as a market leading company.  We can assist you with writing a blog post ($50/1k words – our writer costs). Here is an example post that another company wrote after being featured on another one of our websites: https://theaccountancycloud.com/resources/blogs/weve-been-showcased-as-one-of-the-top-business-intelligence-companies-startups-in-the-uk-by-welp-magazine.
    • Email us the blog post URL and we will share it across our network.
    • Backlinking to the article from your website makes it more likely to rank high on google for relevant keywords and drive traffic and ultimately leads to your company. 
  • Share with your customers that you were nominated as a top company by sharing your blog post across your social media or in your newsletter. 

Backlinking:

  • Please always link back to the https:// version of our website, not http://.
