LOCAL EXPERTISE. MEASURABLE RESULTS. Welcome to
Lounge Lizard in
Charleston
Charleston runs on industries that don’t have much in common. Tourism and hospitality, advanced manufacturing along the I-26 corridor, the port, and a dense network of cultural and preservation organizations older than most of the country.
We’ve built for the same kinds of organizations, for clients from Las Vegas to Indianapolis to Manhattan. A downtown Las Vegas casino resort where the site had to sell rooms, dining, and entertainment in one session. An Indianapolis manufacturer selling stainless steel pools to universities and municipalities. The conservancy that maintains Gracie Mansion, one of Manhattan’s oldest surviving wooden structures.
What those projects share isn’t an industry. It’s that the website carries real weight in the organization, has to work with systems already in place, and needs sign-off from more than one person before it ships.
Founded in 1998, we handle Charleston web design, SEO, social media, and paid campaigns in-house from our office on Meeting Street in Charleston, SC. The people who plan the work are the people who do it.
Graasi
Graasi is a South Carolina-based wellness beverage brand supported by Lounge Lizard through PPC and paid media, Amazon listing management, website maintenance, and social media and influencer marketing.
Rebuilt Google and Meta campaigns, optimized Amazon listings, redesigned the homepage, and coordinated social content, Klaviyo email campaigns, and influencer partnerships. The combined effort increased brand awareness, attracted new customers and potential partners, and grew both website and Amazon sales.
SEO for Charleston Businesses
Charleston search has audiences that rarely overlap: visitors planning a trip from somewhere else, locals searching close to home, and manufacturers along the I-26 corridor selling nationally from a Lowcountry address. Each needs a different strategy, and a site built for one often ranks poorly for the others.
Our SEO services in Charleston, SC cover:
- Technical SEO: site architecture, crawlability, Core Web Vitals, and migrations that keep existing rankings intact.
- Local search: Google Business Profile, citations, and local visibility across Charleston and the Lowcountry.
- Content and keyword strategy: planned separately for visitors, local customers, and national buyers, built from your Search Console data.
- Structured data and AI search: organization, event, and product markup so search engines and AI systems can surface your tours, programs, and products correctly.
For the Gracie Mansion Conservancy, a historic site that depends on visitors finding tours and public programs, that approach produced a 58.4% increase in ranked keywords and a 114% increase in keywords improving position.
Built for How Charleston Works
Circa Resort in downtown Las Vegas and the Gold Dust West properties across Nevada, where the site drives bookings rather than describing a property.
Natare, Durable Superior Casters, Whirley-DrinkWorks, Axium Packaging, Lantech, LOOP-LOC. Selling through dealers and distributors while also selling direct is a specific structural problem, and we’ve solved it repeatedly.
The Gracie Mansion Conservancy, John Jay College, BOCES. Institutions with public access obligations, historical stewardship responsibilities, and limited internal technical resources.
We design and build to WCAG and Section 508 standards as part of the process, not as a post-launch remediation. For public institutions and organizations receiving public funding, this is usually a threshold requirement, not an enhancement.
Web Design and Development
- Custom Charleston website design and development, built for performance, accessibility, and the systems you already run, including WordPress, Drupal, Laravel, and enterprise CMS platforms.
Ecommerce and Dealer Portals
- Storefronts and B2B ordering systems built around how your customers actually buy, with the back-end tools your team needs to run them without calling us every week.
SEO, Local Search, and AI Search Optimization
- Charleston SEO covering technical fixes, content, local visibility across the Lowcountry, and the entity and structured data work that determines whether AI systems can describe your business correctly.
Paid Media, Social Media, and Marketing Automation
- Search, social, display, and retargeting, plus social media marketing and management for Charleston brands, managed against pipeline, with CRM integration through Salesforce or HubSpot so results are traceable past the form fill.
Branding and Creative
- Brand strategy, naming, messaging, identity, and packaging. We’ve launched entire companies and product lines, not just refreshed logos.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Our office at 170 Meeting Street serves Charleston, the Lowcountry, and the rest of South Carolina. Most of our portfolio is national, and the projects most relevant to Charleston companies are the ones that match your structure: a property selling several experiences at once, a manufacturer selling through dealers and direct, or an institution with a board and public access obligations.
Both. Most companies hiring a Charleston marketing agency want one team that can build the site and bring people to it. Our digital marketing work covers SEO, paid search, paid social, social media marketing, email, marketing automation, and conversion rate optimization, managed against pipeline rather than clicks. Because we also build the sites, campaigns land on pages designed to convert.
Three things: whether they start with your site’s structure before writing content, whether they can show results on sites like yours, and whether they report on leads and revenue rather than rankings alone. We handle technical SEO, content, local search across the Lowcountry, and structured data in-house. For the Gracie Mansion Conservancy, that work produced a 58.4% increase in ranked keywords.
Yes. We handle social media marketing and management alongside paid social, SEO, and email, so social campaigns point to pages built to convert rather than to a generic homepage. For hospitality and tourism brands, that usually means content and campaigns timed to the seasons and events that drive bookings.
Yes. Our hospitality work includes Circa Resort and Casino in downtown Las Vegas and the Gold Dust West properties across Nevada for Jacobs Entertainment. These builds center on the booking path and giving a property’s amenities the right relative weight, which matters more than it sounds when rooms, dining, events, and attractions all compete for the same visitor’s attention.
Yes, extensively. Natare, Durable Superior Casters, Whirley-DrinkWorks, Axium Packaging, Lantech, and LOOP-LOC. Manufacturing clients usually need two things agencies underestimate: product data structured so buyers can actually act on it, and a site that serves distributors and end customers without either audience getting a compromised experience. Dealer portals, product configurators, and CRM integration are in-house capabilities.
Yes. The Gracie Mansion Conservancy, John Jay College of Criminal Justice, and BOCES, among others. These organizations typically combine public access obligations, accessibility requirements, limited internal technical staff, and a board that needs to approve the work. We build for those conditions rather than adapting to them late.
Every project is scoped individually, because cost is driven by scope: the number of page templates, integrations with your existing systems, content volume, accessibility requirements, and how many stakeholder groups need to sign off.
Most of our engagements are custom builds for established organizations, places where the website carries real business weight and the project involves multiple teams. We’re not a fit for template sites or single-page builds. If you’re comparing us against a DIY builder or a freelancer, we’ll be the more significant investment, and we’ll tell you that on the first call rather than after a proposal.
After discovery, you receive a detailed proposal with scope, deliverables, timeline, and cost.
Yes. We keep an office at 170 Meeting Street and meet with Charleston clients on-site when a project calls for it, including kickoffs, stakeholder workshops, and major presentations. Day to day, our senior team works with you over video, shared project systems, and scheduled reporting calls.
