Perry SEO is a Raleigh-based digital marketing firm. We've been working with businesses across Wake County for over a decade — from family-run shops in Five Points to growing professional firms in North Hills and Brier Creek.
We focus on the three channels that actually move the needle for local businesses in this market: Local SEO and Google Business Profile, conversion-built websites, and paid search through Google Ads and Local Services Ads. No bloat, no monthly reports written for someone else's benefit.
Raleigh is now one of the most competitive local search markets in the Southeast. ITB neighborhoods, the 540 corridor, and Downtown all behave differently in the SERPs. We work in this market every day, which is why our Raleigh clients tend to outrank agencies based out of state.
Raleigh is not a generic market. The way customers search here — and the way Google ranks businesses here — is shaped by very specific local realities.
Map-pack results in Five Points, North Hills, and Brier Creek behave like three different sub-markets. Centroid distance matters more than most agencies realize. We tune your GBP service areas, citation NAP, and on-page geo signals around the neighborhoods that actually drive your revenue.
Many Raleigh businesses have been burned by national lead-gen firms and out-of-state SEO shops that never set foot in the Triangle. Local cues — chamber references, real Raleigh case studies, NAP consistency across Triangle-specific directories — measurably affect both rankings and conversion.
You're competing against businesses that have been ranking in Raleigh for 10–20 years and have deep backlink profiles from NC State, WRAL, INDY Week, and local chambers. We build a link and content strategy that earns ground from those incumbents rather than pretending they don't exist.
Raleigh customers research heavily on mobile, read reviews carefully, and bounce fast from slow or generic sites. Site speed, review velocity, and a clean GBP are not optional in this market — they're table stakes before any ranking work even matters.

Month-to-Month, No Lock-In
We earn the next month every month. Most of our Raleigh clients have been with us for years — by choice, not contract.

Working with Perry SEO has been insanely helpful for our ABA Therapy clinic here in Little Elm, TX. Grafton and his team are very knowledgeable and provided a thorough SEO audit with clear, actionable steps that really felt intentional and personal. If you're a business owner looking to bring in more customers & qualified leads through Google, ChatGPT, or other online channels, I'd highly recommend them.

Working with Perry SEO has [been great] for my business (Mason Crew). They rebuilt our website and did full optimizations of our Google Business Profile, we went from being in the top 5 to ranking in the top 2 on Google Maps in just a couple of weeks. I've already started getting calls from people who were looking on Chat GPT too which was something that hadn't happened before. If you're looking for a marketing company that does what they say they'll do, I highly recommend Perry SEO. Grafton and his team have been great to work with!

I can't recommend Perry SEO enough! As a detailing business owner in Raleigh, NC (Divine Detailing), I needed a professional website and clear pricing packages to increase customer trust and conversions. Grafton helped with all of the above — from helping generate the website design to custom pricing structures tailored to my business model. The results speak for themselves. We've already had customers shift to our highest packages because of how he helped us position them. If you're in the Raleigh area and need local SEO, website design, or marketing support for your business, Perry SEO is the best partner you'll find. Truly a 5-star experience!

My N Raleigh real estate firm Spencer Properties had close to 300 five star reviews that we've worked incredibly hard to earn over the past 10 years. We lost all of our reviews which is an extremely crucial part of continued business. We contacted multiple companies to recover our reviews and no one was able to complete the job nor give us confidence that we would even get a portion of the reviews back. As soon as we hired Perry SEO, the reviews were recovered very quickly while other companies had attempted to help us for weeks with no progress whatsoever. Our real estate firm would not generate the same incoming prospects without reviews. My team is incredibly thankful that this huge problem was resolved to the full extent and completed so quickly. Thank you Grafton!!

Perry SEO far exceeded my expectations in the results they achieved for us and the time frame in which they did it. They were conservative in their promises for the work they would complete and they did a spectacular job. Highly recommend!

We've been working with Grafton for several months now, and the experience has been outstanding from day one. Grafton & his team designed and developed our website with some guidance from our team, which really spoke volumes about their ability to research our market & bring our vision to a website. Beyond the website, we're also utilizing Grafton for our SEO and Google Ads services. What really stands out is how communicative he's been throughout the process — consistently keeping us in the loop, responding quickly, and genuinely caring about our success. Highly recommend Grafton if you want a growth partner who delivers quality work and actually follows through on what they say they'll do.

Grafton was super helpful when helping my business (AGM Flooring & Tile) with our Google Ads! He communicated the action steps very clearly & helped identify our exact target market for the best results. But most importantly, he also communicated WHY it was important in a way that was easy to understand. Highly recommend if you're in the market for a digital marketing company!

Perry SEO completed a huge web development project for me. I am located in Greenville, NC, and I connected with Perry SEO online. Immediately after our first meeting, I knew I'd be hiring these guys. They are super professional and talented, yet they have your best interests in mind. They also gave me a great deal! I could tell they cared more about the work than the money. Some of the things that stood out to me include fast communication, up front transparency, quick results, and overall great work. I definitely recommend them to anyone looking to get web development done.

Grafton's been as transparent as possible with their process on how they generate leads and the importance of each step Perry SEO takes for local rankings and google ads. He was happy to provide information and answer any questions I have. Highly recommend!

We have been blown away by the business results working with Perry SEO has produced. We had previously tried two different companies to help generate more leads and were disappointed with both. Grafton promised different results and Perry SEO has exceeded our expectations with a beautiful brand-new website and #1 rankings within 6 months. Although we have certainly carried through on our end, Perry SEO's marketing expertise has helped us to grow from $3 million to almost $7 million in annual revenue. We HIGHLY recommend Perry SEO and suggest that any business owner trust Grafton and his team with your company's website, SEO, or social media needs. The results are business-changing.
In addition to Raleigh, we provide Local SEO, web design, and Google Ads management across the greater Triangle, including:
