The problem
Showing up in the towns around Eagan
Say you do garage floors out of Eagan. Someone in Apple Valley, 7 miles south on Cedar Avenue, searches for garage floor coating and gets a list of names. If your site only talks about Eagan, you're not on it. Google gives Apple Valley its own list, and it fills that list with businesses that say they work in Apple Valley.
Google gives every town its own list. Someone in Apple Valley is looking at that list right now, and if you're not on it they're calling somebody else. Same in every other town you drive to.

The town
Local SEO in Eagan, MN
Local SEO means showing up when someone in one particular town searches for your work. It starts with a page that's about the town.
Eagan was Irish farm country, the onion capital of the United States, from the time the township organized in 1860 until the freeways came. Cedar Avenue got a six-lane bridge over the Minnesota River in 1980, the last stretch of I-35E opened in the mid-1980s, and the city that had incorporated in 1972 filled in around them: a third of all the housing in Eagan was built in the 1980s alone. The office parks came with the houses. Thomson Reuters is the biggest employer, with 4,500 people, then Blue Cross Blue Shield of Minnesota with 3,000, the Postal Service, UPS, Ecolab and Coca-Cola's bottling plant. Northwest Airlines ran the airline from a headquarters built here in 1985 until the Delta merger, and the Vikings bought 185 acres of that site in 2015 and opened their $90 million practice facility on it in 2018. The old Lockheed Martin plant became Central Park Commons, 47 acres of stores around a Hy-Vee, in 2016, and Twin Cities Premium Outlets opened in 2014.
The houses are the story for a contractor. The median home in Eagan was built in 1988, about 20,800 of the city's 28,800 housing units went up between 1970 and 1999, and only about 290 predate 1940. Roofs, driveways, furnaces and decks from those years are 30 to 50 years old now. About 5,400 units have been added since 2000, and a third of the homes are rentals. Lebanon Hills Regional Park, 1,869 acres shared with Apple Valley, takes up the south end of town. Footings go at least 42 inches down under Minnesota code, and the freeze and thaw is hard on driveways and slabs.

Questions people in Eagan ask
- Do I need an office in Eagan to show up in Eagan?
- No. Google's business profile lets you list up to 20 service areas, and a page on your site for each town covers the rest. A crew based in Apple Valley, Inver Grove Heights or Burnsville shows up in Eagan the same way, with a page about Eagan.
- Most of my work is commercial. Does a town page still matter in Eagan?
- Yes. A shop manager in Eagan searches the same way a homeowner does, with the town in the search or Google adding it from where they are. The customer on this page shows up on Google for commercial floor coatings in Eagan through a page written for Eagan, and your site gets the same page for every town you work in.
- I already have a website. Can you make it show up in Eagan?
- We replace it. Your web address stays the same, and the new site goes up in its place with a page for Eagan and one for every other town you work in, Apple Valley, Burnsville, Inver Grove Heights and the rest of the south metro included.
- Do you handle my Google Business Profile?
- It stays yours. We match it to the site, so someone in Eagan who finds you on the map sees the same name, number and towns on your website, and the service areas on the profile line up with the town pages. When something on it needs changing, we help.
- How long until I show up in Apple Valley?
- A new page starts from zero, and it usually takes a few months to build up. It varies by town and by trade, and Apple Valley is nearly as big as Eagan, with a full list of its own, so it can take longer there. We don't promise a spot on Google. We build the page, tell Google about it, and keep it listed.
