Why do Exeter and Hampton businesses need different websites?

Exeter and Hampton are ten minutes apart but sell to different people. Exeter runs year round on residents, families and the school calendar. Hampton swings hard between a summer beach crowd and a quiet winter. A good website for either town is built around who is searching and when, not a template with the town name swapped in.

In Exeter, customers search for services they need all year, like dentists, accountants, salons and contractors, and they compare reviews closely. In Hampton, summer visitors search on their phones from the beach for food, rentals and things to do, while year-round residents along Lafayette Road search like everyone else.

How should a Hampton Beach business handle the off season?

Plan the year in two halves. Before Memorial Day, update hours, menus and photos on your site and Business Profile, and publish any summer pages. After Labor Day, switch to year-round locals: winter hours, gift cards, events and reviews. Hampton visitors start searching in spring, so summer work has to be finished early.

Do I need SEO if I already get word-of-mouth referrals?

Yes, because referrals now search before they call. A neighbor recommends you, then the customer looks you up on Google and checks your reviews. If your Business Profile is thin or your site is slow, many of them call the next name instead. SEO protects the referrals you already earn and adds new ones.

Our local SEO plans start at $750 a month.

Do you meet clients in Exeter or Hampton?

Yes. Our studio is in Dover, about thirty minutes from Exeter and Hampton, and we are happy to meet at your business. After the first meeting most work happens by phone, text and email, and you deal with the founders directly.

Can you work on my existing website?

Often, yes. If your site is fast on a phone and we can edit it, we start SEO on the site you already have. If it is slow, hard to edit or missing basic pages, a $1,500 Starter Site is usually cheaper than patching it.

Yes. We work across the New Hampshire Seacoast, including Stratham, Rye, North Hampton, Hampton Falls and Newfields, plus southern Maine and the Massachusetts North Shore.
