Project overview

Charlotte Dog Club describes itself as a close-knit community of families raising well-loved puppies in North Carolina, and it has a sister club in Georgia. The club first hired us for a custom website build, and that job grew into a long-term partnership. Today we run advertising, SEO, automation, web design and performance for both Charlotte and Georgia Dog Club, including the online puppy sales website at Charlotte Dog Club.

Families often reserve a puppy they have only seen on a screen. So the site has to earn that trust with live puppy streams, detailed breeder and parent information and clear guarantees. Therefore, every listing pairs transparency with a simple way to place a refundable deposit online.

An online puppy sales website families can trust

Buyers come from Raleigh, Huntersville, Waxhaw and well beyond Charlotte. Many will not visit until pickup day. For instance, a family in Raleigh wants to watch the puppy, know its parents and understand the guarantee before paying anything.

The club also sells far more than puppies. Puppy Preschool training, pet insurance, financing and delivery options all need a place on the site. As a result, the structure had to keep the puppy front and center while still selling the services around it.

How the Charlotte Dog Club site sells puppies online

We built the site on WordPress and WooCommerce so every puppy works like a product with its own story. Here is what it includes:

  • Live puppy streams. A Live Events section shows Live Now broadcasts and a library of Previous Lives, so families can watch litters in real time.
  • Detailed puppy profiles. Each puppy page lists current and estimated adult weight, breed details and information on its OFA-certified parents.
  • Online refundable deposits. Families reserve a puppy at checkout through Authorize.Net or PayPal, and the profile is removed automatically once the deposit is placed.
  • Breed and city landing pages. Popular Adoption Areas pages combine each town, such as Raleigh, Huntersville and Waxhaw, with every breed the club raises.
  • Guarantee, insurance and financing. The 12-Year Health Guarantee, Fetch pet insurance and Terrace Pets payment plans each have their own pages and calls to action.
  • Smart search and filters. Visitors can search by breed or gender and filter the puppy catalog without reloading the page.

Marketing that feeds the site

In addition, we manage the club’s advertising, SEO and email automation, so new litters reach the right families as soon as they are listed.

Always on, always updated

The site runs on WordPress and WooCommerce, hosted on Kinsta behind Cloudflare. Plus, Omnisend and Groundhogg handle newsletters and follow up, and our LeadFlow plugin captures inquiries. So the club’s team can add puppies, post blog articles and update sales on their own while we keep performance and campaigns tuned.
