About
A small agency that explains its work
Rank Magnus was built around a simple idea: most businesses do not need more marketing jargon, they need someone who can show them what is wrong, fix it in the right order, and tell them the truth about what it will do.
What we do
We are a digital marketing agency focused on search. That means search engine optimisation in all its forms, the newer work of getting cited by AI assistants, and the websites that visibility points at. We work with businesses across Scotland and the wider UK.
How we think about the work
Diagnosis before prescription
Every engagement starts with understanding the business and auditing what already exists. We would rather tell you the first three months should be spent fixing your site than sell you content that will never rank.
Small number of things, done properly
Marketing plans fail when they contain thirty tasks and no order. We work from a short, prioritised list, and we finish things.
Plain language
If we cannot explain why a piece of work matters in a sentence you would repeat to a colleague, it probably does not matter. Reports say what changed, why, and what it means for enquiries.
Nothing we cannot stand behind
We do not guarantee rankings, because nobody controls them. We do not publish invented case studies or borrowed logos. We are building our reputation in Scotland in public, and the fastest way to ruin that is to overclaim.
What you can expect
- A named person who knows your account, not a rotating queue
- A written plan with an order and a reason for that order
- Full access to your own analytics, search console and accounts, always
- Clear notice periods and no attempt to trap you in a contract
- Honest answers when something is not working, including when it is our fault
How we are set up
Rank Magnus operates remotely and works with clients across Scotland by video call, shared documents and shared dashboards. We do not run offices in individual cities and do not claim to. If you would prefer to meet in person to kick off a larger project, that can usually be arranged.
Editorial standards
Articles on Insights are written by the people doing the work. We name the author, date every article, and update rather than quietly republish when guidance changes. Where we describe how a search engine or AI system behaves, we say whether it is documented behaviour, widely observed behaviour, or our own interpretation.
