Visit our Services page for current pricing on all packages, or contact us for a custom quote tailored to your business needs.
What is Google Business Profile management?
Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business) management is a service where we optimize and maintain your business listing on Google. This includes weekly posts, photo updates, review monitoring and response, business information management, and monthly performance reports. A well-managed GBP helps your business appear in local search results and Google Maps, driving more calls and visits from nearby customers.
Do you require long-term contracts?
No, IronLine Digital Systems does not require long-term contracts. All of our services are month-to-month. We believe in earning your business every month by delivering real results. You can cancel at any time with no penalties or hidden fees.
What's included in the monthly service packages?
Our monthly packages include website hosting, SSL certificate, security updates, content updates, performance monitoring, monthly analytics reports, and ongoing SEO optimization. Higher-tier packages also include Google Business Profile management, blog content creation, and advanced digital marketing services.
Process & Timeline
How long does it take to build a website?
A typical website build takes 2 to 4 weeks from start to launch. This includes an initial consultation, design, development, content creation, and testing. More complex projects with custom features or extensive content may take longer. We provide a clear timeline during the initial consultation so you know exactly what to expect.
What do I need to provide to get started?
To get started, we need basic information about your business including your services, service area, contact details, and any photos or branding materials you have. We handle the rest, including writing content, designing your site, and setting up all technical details. If you do not have a logo or photos, we can work with you to find a solution.
Do you provide ongoing support after launch?
Yes, ongoing support is included in all of our monthly packages. This includes content updates, technical maintenance, security monitoring, and performance optimization. We typically respond to all support requests within 24 hours during business days. You are never left without help after your site goes live.
Can I update my own website content?
Yes, our websites are built with a content management system (CMS) that allows you to make basic updates yourself. However, most of our clients prefer to let us handle updates as part of their monthly package so they can focus on running their business. Simply send us the changes and we will implement them promptly.
Local & Industry
Do you only work with businesses in Durham?
While IronLine Digital Systems is based in Durham, NC, we work with contractors and service businesses throughout the Triangle area and across North Carolina. Our local expertise in the Durham, Raleigh, and Chapel Hill markets gives us a deep understanding of the local business landscape, but our digital marketing services are effective for businesses in any location.
What areas do you serve in North Carolina?
We serve businesses throughout the Triangle region of North Carolina, including Durham, Raleigh, Chapel Hill, Cary, Apex, Morrisville, Holly Springs, Wake Forest, and surrounding areas. We also work with businesses across the entire state of North Carolina. Our familiarity with the local market helps us create targeted strategies that connect you with customers in your service area.
Why should I invest in digital marketing for my trade business?
Over 80% of consumers search online before choosing a local service provider. Without a professional website and active Google Business Profile, potential customers may choose your competitors instead. Digital marketing helps contractors and service businesses generate more leads, build credibility, and grow revenue. It is one of the highest-ROI investments a small business can make.
How do you help businesses rank better on Google Maps?
We improve your Google Maps ranking through consistent Google Business Profile management, including regular posts, photo updates, review management, and accurate business information. We also optimize your website for local search terms relevant to your services and service area. These combined efforts help Google recognize your business as active, relevant, and trustworthy, leading to higher placement in local search results and map listings.
