We Help Businesses SUCCEED Online - Period.

Your Affordable Local Minneapolis SEO Company

We are an affordable Minneapolis SEO company based in the Twin Cities of Minnesota. Our specialty is offering local SEO services to small businesses so their websites rank on the first page of the major search engines: Google, Bing, and Yahoo! These three search engines drive more traffic to websites than all other advertising mediums combined.

If your website isn’t ranked on the first page of these search engines, you might as well be invisible. Consumers are using the Internet and their mobile phones more and more to look up and decide which local businesses to contact. If your business can’t be found where potential customers are searching then you’ll end up with the same results – NO CUSTOMERS.

Our goal is to develop an Internet presence for your business so that the people looking for your products and services online will find you!
We understand the demands of today’s consumers and as a local SEO company, we can provide highly effective and affordable local SEO services to small businesses in Minnesota and the Upper Midwest who recognize these trends and are ready to take their businesses to the next level. We want to develop a long lasting partnership and help you build a dominating web presence on the Internet. Given time and consistent effort, our core local seo services will help provide your business with more customers.

Our Local SEO Services

Search Engine Optimization

Search Engine Optimization MinneapolisThink of search engine optimization (SEO) as a funnel: every time someone uses Google to search for your business, Google directs, or “funnels,” that person to your website. We help businesses by making their funnel as wide as possible by finding and optimizing their websites for the highest searched-for keywords. The more keywords you rank for, the wider your funnel and the more traffic and potential new customers will find your website. By focusing on a specific keyword like ‘Minnesota SEO Company’ then moving to more broader keywords like ‘Minnesota SEO’ your website will begin to dominate in search engine rankings organically. This process doesn’t happen overnight but over time your rankings and traffic will increase dramatically!

Google Places Optimization

Google Places OptimizationGoogle Places is a web page that organizes useful information like reviews, directions, hours of operation, and phone numbers for consumers all in one place. It’s quickly becoming the most popular place for businesses to get found online and on smart phones. Our Google Places Optimization service helps businesses by claiming and optimizing their Google Places listing so that they will be found first when a new potential customer is searching for their type of business or service.

3rd Party Directory Sites

Business DirectoriesThird party directory sites, or also known as simply business directories, are very important to maximizing a business’ overall Internet presence. For example, popular directory sites like Yelp and Merchant Circle have a strong and loyal following. It’s important to maintain an optimized presence on these sites. We help businesses claim and optimize their listings on these directory sites for maximum exposure.

Customer Reviews

Customer ReviewsWhat makes Google Places and third party directory sites like Yelp so popular is that customers can leave reviews and comments about their experiences with local businesses. As a business, you want as many reviews as possible and of course you want mainly positive reviews. Why is that so important? Customers are going to be naturally drawn to businesses that have the most reviews – especially if most of them are positive! And having no reviews can be as bad as having negative reviews as the perception is your business is dead. We work with our clients by providing them effective strategies on how to get their customers to leave reviews and comments on these sites.

Our Bottom Line

Our slogan says it all: we help businesses succeed online – period. We do it by focusing on the four primary areas outlined above – and we do it by providing superior customer service at an affordable rate. We’re so confident you’ll like working with us that we don’t require any long-term contracts and you’re free to cancel any time.
