St. Pete SEO That Drives Real Traffic
We don't guess at keywords. We research exactly what your customers search for, build content targeting those phrases, and optimize every page to rank. The same strategy that drove 3 million+ impressions for our own properties.
The Hangboard: zero to 3 million impressions

Noah Schick
Founder, St Pete Sites
I studied programming in college and have spent the last 6+ years building software products and websites. I run two businesses: St Pete Sites, where I build websites and run SEO for local businesses, and The Hangboard, where I sell a physical climbing product to customers nationwide.
Running my own e-commerce brand taught me what actually works in digital marketing. Not theory, not blog advice. Real data from real campaigns. The SEO strategy that drove 3 million+ search impressions for The Hangboard is the same approach I apply to every local business client.
When you work with St Pete Sites, you work directly with me. Not a project manager, not a junior designer, not a freelancer I subcontracted to. I write the code, I write the copy, I do the SEO research. That's why we move fast and why the quality stays high.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a website cost for a small business?
It depends on scope, but our custom-built sites are priced to make sense for local businesses. Every project includes custom design, mobile optimization, SEO setup, and hosting. No templates, no shortcuts. Want a real quote? Text us your business name and we'll give you a straight answer within a few hours.
How long does it take to build a website?
Most of our sites go live within 48 hours of our first conversation. We move fast because we've built systems that eliminate the usual back-and-forth. You'll see a working version quickly, and we refine from there.
Do I need SEO for my local business?
If you want people to find you when they search for what you do, yes. 46% of all Google searches have local intent. That means people near you are actively searching for your services right now. Without SEO, you're invisible to them.
What's the difference between SEO and Google Ads?
Google Ads gets you to the top of search results immediately, but you pay for every click. SEO takes longer to build but generates free organic traffic that compounds over time. Most local businesses benefit from SEO first, then layer in ads once the foundation is solid.
How do I show up on Google Maps?
You need an optimized Google Business Profile. That means accurate categories, a complete description with your service keywords, photos, regular posts, and reviews. Most businesses set it up once and forget it. We manage it actively so you climb the map pack rankings.
Why hire a local web designer instead of using Wix or Squarespace?
Builders like Wix and Squarespace are fine for a personal blog, but they generate bloated code, limited SEO control, and cookie-cutter designs. A custom site loads faster, ranks better, and looks like your business instead of a template. Plus you're working directly with someone in St. Petersburg who understands the local market.
Can you build e-commerce websites too?
Yes. We built The Hangboard, a climbing fitness e-commerce site that now has 300+ customers and drives 26,500+ organic clicks per month through a content strategy we developed. Whether you're selling products online or need appointment booking, we build for conversion.
