Raleigh SEO and web design
Plenty of Wake County never types "Raleigh" into Google
SkyBridge is a small web design and local SEO shop in Charlotte. We don't have a client in the Triangle yet, so this page won't pretend to know your street. What we can do is the search work, starting with your Google Business Profile and a page for each town you actually drive to. All of it happens by phone, email and screen share.

What SEO for a Raleigh business involves
It's slower and plainer than most people expect. Your Google Business Profile gets the right categories and a service area that matches where you really go. Each service you want calls for gets its own page. Your name and number get fixed on Bing, Apple Maps, Yelp and the trade directories so they all agree.
Google says local results come down to relevance, distance and prominence (Google Business Profile Help). Good pages and a complete profile help with the first. Reviews help with the last. Distance is measured from the person searching and nobody can move it for you, so be wary of anyone who promises you a spot in the map.
Cary, Apex and Wake Forest search for themselves
Wake County is a ring of towns around the Beltline, each with its own downtown and its own searches. Google's Keyword Planner puts "plumber raleigh nc" at about 1,900 searches a month. Add up "plumber wake forest nc", "plumber cary nc" and "plumber apex nc" and you get about 1,400 more, from people who typed their own town.
So a Raleigh site that only says Raleigh misses a lot of the county. We name the towns you take jobs in, Garner, Holly Springs or Fuquay-Varina if that's where you go, and leave off the ones you don't.
Clicks here aren't cheap
If you've priced Google Ads in Raleigh, you already know. Keyword Planner shows top-of-page bids for "hvac raleigh nc" between $32 and $100 a click. A call from the map results or your own pages has no per-click cost at all.
Does it matter that we're in Charlotte?
Less than you might think, but you should know before you call. Charlotte is a little under three hours away by I-85 and I-40. You'd see your pages on your own screen before anything goes live, and if something's wrong, you tell us and we fix it. In-person meetings are something we do around Charlotte, so for Raleigh, plan on phone and screen share.
If your website needs work first
Some sites can't carry SEO yet. There's no page for each service, or the phone number is buried. In that case we'd start with a new site, a free mockup of your homepage first and then $399 to launch up to five pages. The SEO work itself is in the Grow plan at $499 a month, and every price is on the quote page.

A few straight answers
Can you get my business into the Raleigh map results?
Nobody honest can promise that. A complete Google Business Profile, pages that name your towns and real reviews all help. Where the customer is standing when they search is out of anyone's hands.
Do you work with Durham and Chapel Hill businesses?
Yes. They're separate markets with their own searches, so if you work there they get named on pages of their own instead of tacked onto a list of Raleigh suburbs.
Do I need a new website before you start on SEO?
Not always. If your current site has a page for each service and your number is easy to find, we can often work with what you have.
