Our Story

A Raleigh-based agency built on real results

Founded in 2010 and based in Raleigh, North Carolina, Cardinal Group Marketing has spent more than 15 years helping businesses grow through digital strategy, website development, advertising, SEO, branding, and marketing technology.

We started as a website design company, but our clients kept asking for more — help with advertising, SEO, lead generation, and marketing automation. So we expanded to become a full-service advertising and digital growth agency.

Today, we combine our deep experience in Wix and Wix Studio with expertise in Google Ads, Meta advertising, local SEO, AI-powered automation, and conversion-focused web design. We serve local, regional, and national organizations, and we're committed to practical strategies that generate measurable business outcomes.

We believe in long-term client relationships. When you grow, we grow — and that's why every campaign, every website, and every strategy we build is designed to produce real, measurable results.

What We Believe

The principles that guide our work

Strategy First

Every project starts with understanding the business goal, not just the deliverable.

Measurable Results

We focus on leads, calls, appointments, and sales — not vanity metrics.

Long-Term Partnerships

We build relationships, not one-off projects. Your growth is our growth.

Technology-Enabled

We use AI and automation to improve efficiency without losing the human touch.
