Big agencies don’t know that King Street floods in March or that App State game days double your foot traffic. We’re based in Boone — that context makes better marketing.

A clean, fast web presence for businesses that just need to show up properly online.
For businesses ready to own local search and convert more of the traffic they already get.

Ongoing work that compounds. Cancel anytime — no long-term contracts.
Own the “near me” searches across the High Country. The highest-ROI service most local businesses aren’t doing.
Your outsourced digital director. We own your entire online presence so you can own your business.
I’m Eli Benson — a strategy and growth consultant who spent years scaling brands in Miami before trading the 305 for the 828. I was employee number one at AdMobilize, helped grow EverydayCarry.com from 5,000 to 275,000 Instagram followers, and built advertising revenue into six figures before its acquisition by Ridge.
I moved to Boone because I wanted to be here. I started Watauga Digital because I kept seeing incredible local businesses with no real digital presence — and knew exactly how to fix it. Fast.
Most web agencies in this area take 6 weeks and charge $5,000 for something you could have had in 48 hours. That gap is what we exist to close.
