Should I target Raleigh, Durham and Cary separately?+
Yes, if you serve them. Residents treat the Triangle as one region socially and search as though the cities are separate — because they are. A Raleigh page won't rank for Durham terms and vice versa. We maintain separate pages for Raleigh and Durham for exactly this reason, and Cary, Apex and Morrisville are worth their own treatment if you cover them.
We sell to pharmaceutical companies in RTP. What works?+
Technical content depth, not local SEO. Your buyers are scientists and procurement staff searching for specific capabilities, methods or specifications, often months before purchasing. What gets you into that process is content that answers the research-stage question precisely — and that means specifics your own technical people review, not marketing copy about partnership and innovation.
Is Raleigh cheaper to market in than Austin?+
Yes, noticeably. Austin's costs rose sharply with the tech relocations; Raleigh's haven't to the same degree despite a similar research-and-technology profile. Customer incomes are comparable. That makes Raleigh one of the better value markets in the Southeast right now, though it's tightening.
Are you actually based in Raleigh?+
No — and we say so on the page rather than renting a virtual office address to imply otherwise. Our team is in Hyderabad and Warangal, India, and we work with Raleigh businesses remotely: video calls, WhatsApp, and a live preview link you can open at any point during the build. What is genuinely local is the work itself — your Google Business Profile, the Raleigh search terms we target, the competitors we benchmark you against, and the schema that tells Google exactly which area you serve.
How do I pay you from NC?+
Wire or ACH, Zelle, credit card through Stripe, PayPal or Wise — invoiced in USD, with a proper invoice for your accountant. Payment is milestone-based: 40% to begin, the remainder as you approve deliverables. There is no retainer and no minimum contract on the build work.
What are your hours compared to Raleigh?+
India runs 9.5 to 13.5 hours ahead depending on your time zone and the season, which works in your favour more than against it: work happens while you sleep, and you review it in the morning. Calls are scheduled for your evening, which is our morning. Anything urgent gets a WhatsApp reply the same day.
What if the project goes wrong?+
You own the code, the domain, the hosting account and every asset from the first day — not at handover, from the beginning. If you stop working with us, everything is already yours and there is nothing to extract. The price is agreed in writing before work starts. Websites start at $499.
