FAQs
How does Handlebar Marketing stand out from other Marketing Agencies and Web Designers?
Led by a long-time small business owner, we understand what it takes to keep your business balanced. We focus on personalized, innovative strategies tailored precisely to meet each clients unique goals and needs.
Because we’re right here in Central NC, we understand local search behavior, community culture, and the competitive landscape in Raleigh, Wendell, Knightdale, and Ocean Isle Beach—giving you an edge that national firms can’t match. Local SEO, local strategy, local relationships—that’s our superpower.
Unlike agencies that outsource your work to virtual assistants in the Philippines or call centers in India, we do things in house or with trusted local partners who actually care about your success.
What kind of results can I expect from your Digital Marketing and Web Design Services?
Results vary but we aim for improved traffic, visibility, lead generation, and increased sales.
We don’t do fluff, buzzwords, or confusing reports full of jargon.
What you get instead:
✅ Clear messaging that reflects your brand and values
✅ Systems that follow up automatically (so you don’t have to)
✅ Real conversations, real strategy sessions, and the option to meet face to face
✅ A partner who treats your business like it’s our business
Think of us as your co-pilot, not just your vendor.
How important is social media in our overall marketing strategy?
Social media matters because it’s where real conversations happen. It’s how customers discover you, interact with your brand, and start to feel like part of your community. But posting alone isn’t the magic.
What really moves the needle is the platform behind the posts.
When your social media is connected to an integrated system, every like, comment, message, and click can trigger something meaningful—automatic follow-ups, review requests, payment links, booking confirmations, and smart messaging that feels personal without you being glued to your phone.
That’s how the big brands do it.
Not by posting more—but by connecting everything together.
We help small businesses use social media as part of a larger, smarter system that ties into automations, payments, reviews, and messaging, so your marketing actually works while you’re busy running your business.
Is SEO Really Necessary for my business?
Yes, SEO is essential for increasing visibility in search engine results, making it easier for potential customers to find your business online among your competitors. It's a foundational element that supports broader marketing efforts.
What Kind of Website do I Really Need?
Your Website Should Work Harder Than You Do.
A website shouldn’t just look nice—it should get found and turn traffic into customers. We design sites that support SEO best practices, local search visibility, and clear calls to action—because ranking in Google and converting visitors is the only real win.
Smart Marketing Starts With Systems That Work Together
Your business deserves systems that help you attract, engage, convert, and retain customers—not scattered tools that waste time and money.
We build systems that run like a finely-tuned machine:
Website Design & Development tailored for search visibility and conversions
Funnels & Landing Pages that capture leads and drive action
Forms, Surveys & Lead Capture Tools to understand your audience
CRM & Automation Workflows for follow-up that feels personal (but runs on autopilot)
SMS, Email & Call Sequences so no lead slips through the cracks
Subscriptions, Payment & Invoice Setup so you can get paid faster
All built on an all-in-one platform that replaces a stack of tools and integrates directly with your marketing and sales workflows. This means fewer moving parts and more consistent results.
