(search engine optimization)

A Raleigh business usually needs one SEO page for each service it sells and one for each town it serves, such as Cary, Apex or Wake Forest. Behind those pages we handle technical SEO, schema markup, content and link building.

Raleigh itself covers about 152 square miles of land. Google weighs how far a business is from the person searching, so a search made in North Raleigh and one made in Southeast Raleigh can list different businesses.

(website design and development)

We design and build websites on WordPress or Next.js, with custom code where a site needs it. We also redesign old sites, speed up slow ones and look after them.

The Census Bureau estimates that about 45,000 Raleigh residents have a disability, close to one in ten, and more than 7,000 have a vision difficulty. Our ADA compliance work tests a site against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA and fixes what fails. Each fix is then rechecked with a keyboard and a screen reader. It is technical work, not legal advice.

Which med spas in Raleigh take new clients this week?

Several do. Your business lists same-week consults on its site, with its hours and a booking page one tap away.

ChatGPTPerplexityGeminiClaudeGoogleDeepSeekWhere the answer shows up

AI search in Raleigh

We work to get your business named in Google's AI Overviews, ChatGPT and Perplexity. That work is called answer engine optimization (AEO) or generative engine optimization (GEO).

Google says its AI features have no extra requirements. The usual basics still apply: important content written out as text, and a Business Profile kept up to date. So your pages should plainly answer what Raleigh customers ask. Do you come out to Clayton, over the Johnston County line? Is a physician on site for laser hair removal? Do you also serve Durham?

Wake County Johnston County Franklin County Durham CountyCounty lines from the US Census Bureau.

(local search)

Raleigh-area search splits by town more than by county, and Durham is a separate market. The Census Bureau’s Raleigh-Cary metro is Wake, Johnston and Franklin counties, while Durham and Chapel Hill form a metro of their own.

  1. Durham is its own market. The Durham-Chapel Hill metro takes in Durham, Orange, Chatham and Person counties. A Raleigh listing can rank lower in a search made in Durham, because Google’s local results take into account how far away the searcher is.
  2. The big suburbs are separate towns. Cary has more than 183,000 residents, Apex more than 80,000 and Wake Forest more than 58,000. Each is a separately incorporated town, so a page about Raleigh is not a page about Cary.
  3. Town lines cross county lines. Cary reaches into Chatham County and Wake Forest into Franklin County, and about 1,660 people in Raleigh itself live in Durham County. Clayton, to the southeast, is in Johnston County. Service areas and ad targeting should follow the towns, not the county lines.

Raleigh in numbers

  • 506,306Raleigh residents in July 2025, by Census estimate; only Charlotte is larger in North Carolina
  • 12.9%Raleigh-Cary metro growth, 2020 to 2025; of metros over a million, only Austin grew faster
  • 50,000+full-time workers in Research Triangle Park, on 7,000 acres across Durham and Wake counties
  • 1.26MWake County residents in July 2025, close to four in five people in the Raleigh-Cary metro

(industries)

In Raleigh, independent clinics compete with big hospital names, and roofers work where hurricanes and tornadoes have reached far inland. Property managers and brokerages answer to the Real Estate Commission. Each industry has North Carolina rules that shape what goes on the page.

    01 / 04

    Independent med spas and clinics in Raleigh get med spa SEO, Google Ads and booking pages from us, written to the North Carolina Medical Board’s advertising positions. In its position on advertising, the North Carolina Medical Board says ads should not leave out material facts. A physician who advertises as board certified should name the certifying board in the ad itself.

    When a change makes an ad inaccurate, the Board expects it corrected within a reasonable time. So when staff change, we update the provider and treatment pages.

    Its position on laser surgery says that for hair and tattoo removal, the supervising physician should be on site or readily available. A laser page can name that physician.

    WakeMed runs five hospitals with 973 beds, plus emergency healthplexes in Apex, Brier Creek, Garner and Wendell. UNC Rex and Duke Raleigh Hospital are in the city too.

    Raleigh roofers get roofing SEO, storm pages and Google Ads from Kihan Marketing, with storm copy written around North Carolina’s 2024 right to cancel roof work. Raleigh is well inland, but storms still reach it. As Hurricane Fran moved inland in September 1996, it left widespread damage to trees and roofs, and Wake County reported heavy damage to homes and businesses. On April 16, 2011, the Sanford-Raleigh tornado crossed Holly Springs and the city, leaving a path of EF-2 damage in northeast Raleigh. A roofing site can keep a Wake County storm damage page ready before the next one.

    Since October 1, 2024, North Carolina has given homeowners an extra right to cancel residential roof work sold off-premises, such as door to door. If the insurance claim for the work is denied, they have five business days to cancel. Until those five days pass, the seller may not start work or take payment, except for emergency work the homeowner confirmed in writing was needed to prevent further damage. The law’s definition of residential roof repair and replacement leaves out work by licensed general contractors and anyone working under their supervision, and retailers that sell roofing materials and offer to install them.

    Raleigh property managers get property pages, owner pages and Google Ads from us, aimed first at the city itself. Nearly half of the occupied homes in the city of Raleigh are rented, about 100,000 households. In the rest of Wake County, the share is closer to one in four.

    In North Carolina, renting or leasing property for others for compensation counts as real estate brokerage. So a property manager usually needs a license from the Real Estate Commission. A business managing property it owns or leases is one of the exceptions.

    On a property management site we can give each property its own page. If the site runs on the website template AppFolio ships, we can rebuild it into a better one.

    Every page and ad we make for a Raleigh-area brokerage shows that a broker or firm placed it, as the North Carolina Real Estate Commission requires. Under North Carolina Real Estate Commission rules, a broker’s ad for property handled for others cannot be only a phone number, street address, web address or email. It has to show that a broker or firm placed it, and the broker-in-charge must agree to it first.

    Some towns around Raleigh have grown fast: Fuquay-Varina went from about 34,000 residents in 2020 to more than 48,000 in 2025, and Wendell roughly doubled. Each town a brokerage sells in gets its own guide page.

(before you hire)

Put these six questions to any SEO, web design or Google Ads agency you are weighing, us included. Strong answers name Wake County towns, the Durham split and the North Carolina rules for your trade.

  1. Ask who the accounts will belong to.Every login, from the ad account to the domain, should be in your company’s name, with the agency added as a user.
  2. Ask which North Carolina rules apply.A med spa agency should know what the Medical Board expects before an ad says board certified. A roofing agency should know the October 2024 roof cancellation law.
  3. Ask how they would divide the Triangle.Raleigh-Cary and Durham-Chapel Hill are separate Census metros, seven counties in all. A good plan names the towns it will start with.
  4. Ask how the ads would be split.Google Ads can target a single Raleigh neighborhood or a whole county. The plan should say which areas get the budget, and why.
  5. Check what the reviews are about.A review that describes a finished website or an ad campaign tells you more than a row of stars. Kihan Marketing is rated 5.0 on Google.
  6. Ask what the agreement includes and how either side can end it.Have both answers written down.

(FAQs)

Do you have an office in Raleigh?

No. We work remotely, logged in to your own Google Ads, Search Console, Business Profile and website, and every change we make is there for you to check.

Do you work with businesses in Cary, Apex, Wake Forest and Durham?

Yes. We plan a page, a service-area entry and ad targeting for each town you name. Durham and Chapel Hill get a plan of their own, because a Raleigh listing can rank lower in searches made there.

Can you check a Raleigh website for ADA compliance?

Yes. We test it against WCAG 2.2 at level AA with automated tools, a keyboard and a screen reader. Then we fix what fails, such as color contrast, image descriptions, headings, form labels, focus order and captions. We never add overlay widgets. It is technical work rather than legal advice, and no one can promise a site will never be sued.

What are AEO and GEO?

They stand for answer engine optimization and generative engine optimization. The aim is for Google’s AI Overviews, ChatGPT or Perplexity to name your business when someone asks, for example, for a med spa near Brier Creek. It starts with pages Google can index that answer those questions, and a Business Profile with correct details.

Can an independent clinic compete with WakeMed, UNC Rex and Duke Raleigh?

Yes, by being specific. WakeMed’s physician practices cover nearly every specialty. A clinic’s pages can go deeper on its own treatments, its providers and its part of town, with a profile for each provider patients can see.

Does North Carolina’s roof cancellation law apply to my company?

It can, if you sell residential roof work off-premises, such as door to door. The law’s definition of that work leaves out licensed general contractors and anyone working under their supervision, and retailers that sell roofing materials and offer to install them. A violation is a Class 1 misdemeanor. Read G.S. 14-401.13 with your own lawyer.

Does a Raleigh property manager need a real estate license?

Usually. North Carolina law treats renting or leasing property for others for compensation as brokerage, which takes a license from the Real Estate Commission. The exceptions include a company managing property it owns or leases, along with its officers and W-2 employees.

Our first step is an audit of your website and Business Profile, planned around the towns you serve, from Apex to Wendell.
