SEO Minneapolis
for Independently-Owned Businesses
A Minnesota-based agency doing SEO, Google Business Profile management, and website design for independently-owned Minneapolis-area businesses. Direct access to the person doing the work. No national call center, no long contract.
Minneapolis is a competitive SEO market. Here's how we fit into it.
Search "SEO Minneapolis" and you'll find agencies with a decade in business and hundreds of Google reviews between them. We're not going to tell you we'll out-rank them by next quarter. We're not that agency, and anyone who promises that isn't being straight with you.
What the established Minneapolis agencies charge
Most run $1,500 to $5,000 a month with 6-to-12-month contracts. That works if you're a mid-sized company with a marketing budget to match. It doesn't work for a solo contractor, a family restaurant, or a two-person accounting practice trying to figure out if SEO is worth doing at all.
What we offer instead
Packages start at $599/month with a one-time setup fee, a 3-month minimum, then month to month. You talk directly to Chad, not an account manager reading from a script. We're honest that this is a longer road in a competitive metro than it would be in a smaller Minnesota city, and we tell you that upfront instead of after you've signed.
Why distance from Big Lake doesn't matter here
SEO, Google Business Profile management, and website work happen on your listings and your site, not in a downtown office. We're about 45 minutes from Minneapolis if a face-to-face meeting is useful, but the actual work is identical whether your business is in Big Lake, Bloomington, or Uptown.
What this means for you: If you want a low-cost, no-contract option run by the person actually doing the work, and you're realistic about the timeline in a competitive metro, we're a good fit. If you need to outrank a 150-review agency in 90 days, we're not the right call — and we'd rather tell you that now.
The same seven-signal system, applied to a bigger market
We use the same ranking methodology across every Minnesota market we serve — Google Business Profile, reviews, on-page SEO, citations, backlinks, behavioral signals, and social. Minneapolis doesn't change the signals, it changes how much competition sits on top of them.

Questions about Minneapolis SEO
Do you work with businesses in downtown Minneapolis, or just the suburbs?
Both. We work with independently-owned businesses anywhere in the Minneapolis metro, from downtown to the surrounding suburbs. Local SEO and website work do not require a physical office visit, so location within the metro does not change how we operate.
Can an agency based in Big Lake actually serve a Minneapolis business well?
Yes. This work is done on your Google Business Profile, your website, and your online directory listings, none of which requires us to be down the street. We are about 45 minutes from downtown Minneapolis if an in-person meeting is ever useful, but the actual work happens the same way whether you are in Big Lake or Uptown.
How do you compete with Minneapolis SEO agencies that have hundreds of reviews?
We do not claim to out-rank established Minneapolis agencies overnight, and we would not trust anyone who promised that. What we offer instead is a fraction of the cost, direct access to the person doing the work instead of an account manager, and no long-term contract while you find out if it is a good fit.
Do you do paid ads too, or just SEO and websites?
SEO, Google Business Profile management, and website design. We do not run paid ad campaigns. If a Minneapolis business needs both, we focus on the organic side, which keeps producing results after you stop paying for it, unlike ads.
