Websites for local businesses, designed around your business — what you sell, who you serve, and how people actually look for you. Built once, built right, then looked after for a flat monthly fee so you never have to think about it again.
Most local websites have the same four problems — and every one quietly costs the owner customers.
Google says one thing, the site says another, an old page says a third. A customer who can't tell if you're open picks the place they can tell.
A Facebook page, a PDF, a separate app — anywhere but the website. Every extra hop loses people.
You earned them. They're buried where a first-time visitor will never find them.
Your customers are on phones — in parking lots, on the beach, in the car. If it doesn't work there, it doesn't work.
Every week in season, thousands of visitors arrive in Surf City, Topsail, and Hampstead who have never heard of your business. They don't drive around looking — they search: "best lunch near me," "boat repair Topsail," "plumber near me." Google hands them a short list and they tap one of the first names on it.
Right titles and descriptions, your services and towns worked in properly, fast loading, and a Google profile that backs it all up. No "#1 on Google" promises — anyone who promises that is selling you something. Just every box that matters, checked.
Your menu or services, your photos, your story, your reviews — arranged for the way your customers look. The design follows your business, not a fixed formula.
Site and Google listing set up together and kept in agreement — hours, services, photos — so nobody ever works off a stale version again.
Something changes? Text me. It gets done. That's the whole care plan.
Two numbers. That's the whole price list.
Agencies in Wilmington charge $3,500+ just for the build. I run lean — no office, no account managers, no sales team — so you pay for the work, not the overhead. Add-ons like online ordering or a professional photo package are quoted straight, only if you ever want them.
First visit to live site in about a week.
Before you pay anyone anything, you see your own homepage, on your phone, in person. Like it or don't — no pressure either way.
Simple one-page agreement, $375 deposit, and you send me your menu/services, prices, and any photos.
Full site at a private preview address. We fix what's off; final $375 due on approval.
Your domain points to the new site, Google gets updated to match, and the care plan runs it from there.
I'm Troy Metivier — I live in Hampstead with my family, I'm an Air Force veteran, and I build websites and software on the side under the Metco name.
The name comes from my father, who ran Metco Architectural Design. Same idea, new trade: build it right, charge fair, and answer the phone.
No call center, no account manager, no disappearing after the check clears. You'll see me at Food Lion.
