What drives business
State government, the University of South Carolina and Fort Jackson, where the Army trains many of its new soldiers, drive the local economy. Healthcare and insurance companies add a large office workforce.
Columbia, SC
Web design and local SEO for Columbia small businesses.
Columbia is the state capital and a university town, with customers spread from downtown and Five Points out to Lexington and Irmo. Government workers, students and Army families make up much of the market. Summers here are famously hot, and many service businesses plan their whole year around the heat.

South Carolina search seasons
Plan for the busy seasons.
Long, humid summers keep AC and pest control busy, and the coast deals with hurricanes and tidal flooding. The Upstate gets occasional ice storms that bring down trees and power lines.
March to May
Spring pollen and storms
Pressure washing, gutter cleaning and lawn care searches rise as pollen and spring storms roll through. Booking forms and before-and-after photos help turn those searches into jobs.
May to September
Beach season
The Grand Strand, Charleston and Hilton Head fill with visitors and summer renters. Restaurants, charters, rental cleaners and shops near the coast should update hours, menus and photos before Memorial Day.
June to November
Hurricane season
Roofing, tree removal, storm shutter and water damage searches spike whenever a storm heads for the coast. Keep a storm response page and a fast way to call on every page.
