Services We Offer

We work with businesses across Minneapolis to build search and advertising systems that generate traffic with a purpose. By connecting the fast feedback loop of PPC with the longer-term payoff of SEO, we help local companies move beyond rankings and impressions to actions and revenue.

Whether you’re based in Uptown, Northeast, Dinkytown, or the suburbs, we build strategies grounded in how people actually search and buy in the Twin Cities area.

SEO Audit & Technical Fixes

Even strong content won’t rank if your site structure is working against you. We start with a full technical audit—looking at how your site performs for crawlers and users. We identify and fix:

  • Broken links and redirect chains
  • Duplicate content and missing metadata
  • Poor page load speeds (especially on mobile)
  • Schema markup errors
  • Canonicalization issues
  • XML sitemap problems
  • Index bloat from unnecessary pages

For Minneapolis businesses that rely on both local and organic search, resolving these issues often results in noticeable ranking improvements within 60 to 90 days.

Local SEO Targeting for Minneapolis

If you’re serving the Twin Cities and not showing up in local results, you’re losing out to businesses that are. We focus on ranking you in the local 3-pack for relevant searches in your service areas, not just broad terms.

We take care of:

  • Optimizing your Google Business Profile
  • Removing duplicate or inconsistent NAP (Name/Address/Phone) entries
  • Earning citations from trusted Minneapolis and Minnesota directories
  • Creating locally focused content around neighborhoods and suburbs like Edina, St. Louis Park, and Richfield
  • Adding location schema to improve local relevance
  • Building reviews through off-site strategy support

For one Minneapolis plumbing company, this process led to a 160% jump in local map impressions within six weeks.

Paid Search Campaign Management

In Minneapolis, where competition is high across industries like law, HVAC, real estate, and medical, paid ads need more than just budget—they need intent matching. We build campaigns around search terms that show buyer readiness, not curiosity.

We manage:

  • Campaign structure based on keyword categories (e.g., branded, service-based, emergency intent)
  • Ad copy that matches location and search behavior
  • Negative keyword filtering to prevent waste
  • Device, location, and time-based bid adjustments
  • A/B testing of headlines and descriptions to reduce fatigue
  • Conversion tracking setup and adjustments

One Minneapolis-based legal firm reduced their cost-per-lead by 41% after we restructured their Google Ads account.

Competitor Analysis

Competitor Analysis

If your competition keeps outranking you or outbidding you, it’s rarely random. We audit competitors across multiple fronts to understand:

  • Which keywords they’re targeting
  • How their content is structured
  • Where their backlinks are coming from
  • What pages they’re investing in
  • How aggressive they are with paid ads

Then we put together a plan to outperform them—either by building better content, improving page structure, or making smarter ad buys. We work with what’s measurable and actionable, not assumptions.

Conversion Rate Fixes (CRO)

If your site’s traffic numbers are solid but leads are low, we take a close look at what’s blocking action. We improve lead forms, button placement, CTA wording, and page layout based on how your users actually behave.

We use tools like:

  • Heatmaps
  • Scroll tracking
  • Session recordings
  • A/B and multivariate testing
  • Funnel path analysis via GA4 and Tag Manager

After applying this approach, one Minneapolis-based service business saw lead volume rise by 68% without increasing ad spend.

Conversion Rate Fixes (CRO)
Retargeting & Funnel Completion

Retargeting & Funnel Completion

Most visitors don’t convert on the first visit—especially for high-ticket or service-based offers. We reconnect with these visitors through follow-up ads on:

  • Google Display Network
  • YouTube pre-rolls
  • Facebook and Instagram
  • Gmail Sponsored Promotions
  • Native placements

We also help you build lead scoring systems and automated email sequences to bring lost visitors back with timely offers and reminders. This has helped our clients in Minneapolis capture value from previously lost traffic.

Content Built for Search Intent

Writing blog posts or service pages without understanding what people actually search for wastes time. We build out content plans based on what your customers are typing into Google in Minneapolis and the surrounding suburbs.

We organize content by:

  • Topic clusters and keyword themes
  • Search intent (informational, transactional, navigational)
  • Query volume and competition
  • Seasonal interest (based on Minneapolis-specific trends like HVAC in winter or roofing after storms)

We use methods like TF-IDF, SERP similarity checks, and competitive content scoring to make sure our content isn’t just ranking—it’s attracting the right kind of traffic.

Content Built for Search Intent
Landing Pages for PPC Campaigns

Landing Pages for PPC Campaigns

Your homepage is built for general use—PPC landing pages need to be direct, focused, and aligned to one message. We build single-goal pages for paid traffic that match ad copy and keyword intent.

These pages are structured to reduce drop-offs and increase form submissions, calls, or purchases. We track and test:

  • Layout and headline clarity
  • Button placement
  • Trust signals like testimonials or credentials
  • Load speed (especially on mobile)
  • Messaging alignment from ad to landing page

In a Minneapolis-based campaign, this structure reduced bounce rates by over 50% and doubled the conversion rate in just 30 days.

Why Minneapolis Businesses Work With Us

We don’t hand over prebuilt plans or rely on set-and-forget tools. Every part of your PPC or SEO campaign is built and adjusted by people who understand how local traffic behaves and what it takes to turn that into actual business outcomes.

We work directly on the things that matter: writing better ad copy, fixing technical SEO barriers, tracking leads correctly, and making sure your campaigns are running clean. You won’t find generic dashboards or vague reports. You’ll see numbers tied to actual actions—calls, form fills, purchases, or booked appointments.

Minneapolis businesses work with us because:

  • We get how local search works here. Whether you’re targeting neighborhoods like Linden Hills, Uptown, Powderhorn, or downtown, we adjust content and targeting by area, not just by keyword volume.
