INTERNET MARKETING SERVICE IN WATAUGA COUNTY, NC
Websites, local SEO and Google Ads for four towns, four different buyers
A shop in Boone, a second home owner in Blowing Rock and a trade out on 421 are three customers on three calendars. We build the website, manage the Google profile and run the ads around each. No contract, published prices, and you keep every account.
You get the person doing the work, not an account manager
Most agencies put a salesperson in front of you and a stranger behind the work. Here you talk to Kris every time, and the person you talk to is the person inside your Google profile and your website.
You own everything we build
Your Google profile, your website, your domain, your analytics. All of it lives in your accounts. If we ever part ways you walk away owning the whole thing, with nothing to untangle.
Clear pricing and no contract
A monthly plan covers the ongoing work. Cancel any month. Extra pages are $157.50 each on a plan, the same price for every client, with no upsell on the pages that matter most.
We already know this market
We grew up in this part of the state and still drive these roads. You are not paying us to learn where your customers are.
You can reach a human
Call or text (828) 379-1663 and you get an answer, not a ticket number. That is the whole support system and it is the one most owners actually want.
Six ways we put your business in front of buyers in Watauga County
Each one is sold on its own or bundled into the monthly plan. Start with one, add the rest when it earns its place.
Google Business Profile Management
The listing that decides whether you appear in the Watauga County map pack. Categories, services, photos, posts, reviews and the weekly upkeep that keeps it ranking.
Local SEO
Pages built for Watauga County specifically, plus the citations, schema and on-page work that make Google trust you for this town rather than the next one over. Local backlink building is included on the 6 and 12 page plans.
AI Search Optimization
Buyers increasingly ask ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews for a recommendation. This is the work that gets your business named in those answers.
Google Ads Management
For the jobs you need this week rather than next quarter. Tight targeting around Watauga County, honest reporting, no spend on clicks that were never going to call.
Website Design
Fast, clear sites that load on a phone with one bar and tell a customer what you do in about four seconds. Built in WordPress and owned by you.
Web Hosting
Managed hosting at $20 a month with backups, SSL and updates handled, so nobody is holding your site hostage at renewal time.
The full reviews, nothing trimmed
Both of these are published in full on thekrisrobinson.com, exactly as they were written.
Rated 5 out of 5
“I couldn’t be happier with the website he created for my business. He took the time to understand exactly what I needed, made the whole process super smooth, and delivered a site that looks professional, clean, and perfectly aligned with my brand. Communication was great the entire time, and he went above and beyond to make sure everything turned out right. I highly recommend him if you want quality work and someone who genuinely cares about the final product.”
Rated 5 out of 5
“Hello, my name is Joel Gray, and I’m the Pastor of the Vision Baptist Church in Millers Creek, NC. The church was interested in getting a new website that would accommodate the ministry in allowing people to obtain information about the church. Chris has accomplished this goal for us through the website he created. Now people can gain knowledge of the church, listen to preaching, and order printed literature (KJV only) such as tracts and booklets free of charge. Thanks to Chris, we’ve already had some orders for printed literature from the website. To God be the Glory, and thank you Chris for the service you provide!”

Watauga County, NC
A tourist economy searches differently from a resident one
Watauga runs on US 421, US 321, NC 105 and NC 194, and those roads carry two completely different customers. One lives here year round. The other is a visitor who arrived yesterday, does not know the town, and is deciding on a phone where to eat, stay or get something fixed.
That second customer is won or lost in the map pack, because they have no idea who anybody is. Photos, hours, reviews and whether your profile is set up correctly decide it in about ten seconds. If most of your revenue comes from visitors, your Google Business Profile is worth more to you than your website.
Watauga County has been in our service area since we started in 2024, and we work it from Purlear, inside the same mountains and on the same roads your customers drive. We keep the client list short on purpose, so the person you talk to is the person in your Google profile and your website.
Ski season and leaf season run the year
Winter fills Beech Mountain and Appalachian Ski Mtn. October brings the Valle Country Fair, the Woolly Worm Festival and Parkway leaf traffic. Your listing should be ready weeks before each, not during.
Appalachian State changes the mix
About 19,900 people live in Boone and App State is one of the county’s biggest employers. A student and parent audience searches short, searches on mobile and trusts recent reviews over everything else.
Elevation splits your market
A search from Boone at 3,300 feet and one from Beech Mountain at 5,500 feet return different results. Covering the county means covering the towns, which is why each one has its own page.
Five ways to reach us from Watauga County

Tell me what you need in Watauga County
Takes about a minute. You get a reply with what I would do first and what it would cost, before you ever get a sales call.
Counties and towns we cover
Every one of these has its own page with detail specific to that place. If your town is not on the list, call anyway. We take on clients across the United States.
Straight answers before you pick up the phone
These come up on nearly every first call here. If yours is not on the list, ask it on the phone and you get the same kind of answer.
Most of my customers are tourists. Does local SEO still apply?
It applies more. A visitor has no existing relationship with any business here, so they take whatever the map shows them first. That is exactly what local SEO controls. For a visitor driven business the profile usually outperforms the website for direct bookings and calls.
What does local SEO cost in Watauga County?
The monthly plan covers the ongoing Google Business Profile work, the local SEO and the reporting. Websites are a separate one time build, hosting is $20 a month, and extra pages are $157.50 each on a plan. Same price for every client, no contract, no setup fee that turns up later.
How long before I see results in Watauga County?
Google Business Profile work usually shows movement in the first 30 to 60 days because the profile is the fastest thing to influence. Competitive local rankings take longer, often 3 to 6 months, and it depends on how many businesses here are already doing the work. In a smaller market that is often an advantage, because fewer competitors are doing it properly.
Do you actually work with businesses in Watauga County?
Yes. Watauga County is inside the area we cover every week, not a page we built to catch traffic. Call or text (828) 379-1663 and you will be talking to someone who knows the roads your customers drive.
Do I have to sign a contract?
No. It is month to month and you can cancel any month. Everything is built in accounts you own, so leaving costs you nothing but the work stopping.
Who owns my Google profile and website?
You do. We work inside your Google account and your hosting and you stay the owner on both. Some agencies create the profile under their own account and use that as leverage later. We do not, and you can verify it yourself at any time.
My business has no storefront in Watauga County. Can I still rank on Google Maps?
Yes. That is a service area business and it is how most trades, contractors and consultants operate, including us. Your address is hidden and you list the towns you serve instead. Getting that setup wrong is one of the most common reasons a profile underperforms.
My Google profile got suspended. Can you fix it?
Usually. Suspensions almost always trace back to an address problem, keywords stuffed into the business name, or a category that does not match the work. We find the cause, correct it and file the reinstatement. Nobody can guarantee it, but most are recoverable.
Do I need a new website, or can you work with mine?
Either. If your current site loads fast, works on a phone and can be edited, we will keep it and spend your money on visibility instead. If it is slow or you cannot get into it, replacing it is usually cheaper than fighting it.
One conversation. Fifteen minutes. No pitch.
Tell me what you sell and which part of Watauga County you sell it in. I will tell you what I would do first, what it would cost and how long it should take. If I am not the right fit I will say so on the call.
