Strategy
What does the data mean for a Raleigh business?
Four findings stand out in the Raleigh figures. Each one changes where time and budget should go first.
- Largest demand: dentist
- 1,300 searches a month, 32% below the median of the 30 cities we track. Ranking difficulty for this search is 52 out of 100.
- Most expensive click: personal injury lawyer
- Advertisers pay about $66 for one click on this search. At that price, 100 clicks cost about $6,600. A page that ranks for it without ads is worth far more than one that ranks for a cheaper search.
- Easiest opening: roofing
- Ranking difficulty is 19 out of 100, the lowest of the seven searches, with 720 searches a month. The hardest is HVAC at 60.
- Where Raleigh differs most: web design
- Demand is 1.1 times the 30-city median, 1,000 searches a month. The lowest against the median is personal injury lawyer, at 18% of it.

Local market
Which parts of the Raleigh area do you cover?
We work with businesses across the Raleigh area, including Durham, Cary, Chapel Hill, Apex, Wake Forest, Garner, Morrisville and Holly Springs.
The Triangle is growing quickly, and towns such as Cary, Apex and Holly Springs add new homes every year. New residents search with the town name, so suburb coverage matters more here than in older, slower-growing metros.
Raleigh is on Eastern Time, 9 hours behind Pakistan in summer and 10 in winter. Search data is also published for Charlotte. A suburb gets its own page only when there is something specific to say about it, never by swapping the place name, which is how doorway pages are made.
