Q: How long does it take for a new website to appear on Google?

Most new websites begin appearing in Google within a few days to a few weeks after launch. However, ranking for competitive search terms often takes longer. Factors such as website content, local competition, backlinks, Google Business Profile optimization, and ongoing updates all influence how quickly a website gains visibility in search results.

Q: What makes a website convert visitors into customers?

A successful website does more than look good . It clearly explains what you do, builds trust through reviews and case studies, answers common questions, and makes it easy for visitors to take the next step. Strong calls to action, fast loading speeds, mobile responsiveness, and clear messaging all play a role in turning website visitors into leads and customers.

Q: How often should a small business update its website?

At a minimum, your website should be reviewed every few months to ensure plugins, themes, forms, and security features are functioning properly. Content should be updated whenever services, pricing, team members, or business information changes. Regular updates also signal to Google that your website is active and maintained, which can help support search visibility over time.

Q: Do you work with businesses in Cary, Raleigh, and the Triangle?

Absolutely. Barefoot Build is based in Cary, NC and works with businesses throughout Raleigh, Durham, Apex, Holly Springs, Morrisville, Wake Forest, Chapel Hill, and the surrounding Triangle area. We also work with clients across North Carolina and throughout the United States. For local businesses, our familiarity with the Triangle market helps us create websites and Google Business Profiles that reflect how people actually search for services in the area.

Q: Do you build websites on other platforms besides WordPress?

As of August 1, 2025 , Barefoot Build exclusively creates websites on WordPress. We absolutely love partnering with businesses using other website management systems (WMS), and we understand there are many great platforms out there. However, we’ve found that certain platform constraints can limit our ability to deliver the creative design, functionality, and long-term growth our clients deserve. To ensure every website we build is flexible, scalable, and fully optimized, we’ve made the decision to migrate all current sites to WordPress. Once your site is on WordPress, we can also handle ongoing maintenance and updates, so you can focus on running your business while we manage the technical side. For clients who need an online store, we use WooCommerce, a highly intuitive e-commerce platform that is competitive with Shopify and other common platforms. WooCommerce makes it easy for you to manage products, inventory, and payments, while giving your customers a seamless shopping experience. This change allows us to consistently deliver the high-quality, tailored results our clients expect, while giving you the freedom to grow and adapt your website as your business evolves. If you have any questions, please reach out.
