I use 2NT in this sequence to also show raise.
There are four raise types most consider. 3-card limit, 4-card limit, 3=card GF, and 4-card GF. How to split these up between the two options (2NT and cue) is uncertain. I hear that Meckwell has bounced around in this regard.
You could have, for example, one be 3+ limit and one 3+ GF. You might also have one 3-card limit+ and the other 4-card limit+. You could have 2NT as 3-card limit and cue as 3+ GF or 4-card limit.
I personally prefer 2NT as limit and cue as GF, 3+ in either event. Seems easier to remember, somehow.

We play:
1♠ (2♥)
2♠ 6-9 3(4) card raise
2NT 7-9 or GF 4-card raise
3♥ Invitational 4-card raise
3♠ 4-7 4-card raise
1♥ (2♠) - we lose the weakest raise when there is no cue-bid
2NT 6-9 or GF 4-card raise
3♥ Invitational
3♠ GF but with distribution usually stiff spade
(1♥) 1♠ (3♥) X = takeout
Note we play 4-card majors so most good three card raises go through a negative double.
