A few helpful answers.
Find the details you need, then take the next step that fits.
Who is The Welcome Company for?
Neighbors and local businesses across the Triangle. You don’t have to own a home or be new in town to use our resources.
Are the newsletters free?
Yes. Choose your community and subscribe through our newsletter signup page.
How do I find a local business?
Use Find a Local Business to explore by service and community. Review the business details and contact the business directly.
What if I can’t find someone?
Tell us what you need and where. We’ll help you look for a relevant local connection.
How are businesses included?
Listings generally accompany advertising packages. We can also include other businesses to make the directory useful. Listings are generally nonexclusive.
Does advertising mean a business is recommended for every request?
No. A commercial relationship is separate from whether a business fits your location, service needs, and preferences. Ask the business about qualifications, availability, and terms.
Can my business advertise in more than one community?
Yes, we can discuss editions that fit your service area. Availability, pricing, timing, and reporting are confirmed in your proposal.
What is the Local Visibility Checkup?
A practical review of your public website, Google Business Profile, and social accounts, with recommendations to improve clarity, consistency, and ease of action. Scope, timing, and any cost are confirmed before work begins.
Is the business community available now?
It is in development. We’re shaping it around useful exchanges between local owners, without required weekly meetings or attendance quotas. Tell us if you’d like to be involved.
Can I book home concierge services here?
Not yet. Home concierge, quote coordination, and project support are developing services. This draft does not process bookings.
Are physical Welcome Gift deliveries available?
Physical Welcome Gift deliveries are paused as we focus on community newsletters and other local connections.
Can I share an event or local story?
Yes. Contact us with your event, local story, community organization, or useful tip. The team reviews submissions for relevance.
