The problem
Showing up in the towns around Lake Elmo
Say your crew pours driveways out of Lake Elmo. Somebody in Stillwater, 8 miles east on Highway 36, puts concrete driveway into Google and gets back a list of names. When your website only names Lake Elmo, you're not on it. Stillwater has a list of its own on Google, and the businesses on it are the ones whose sites say they work in Stillwater.
Someone in Stillwater is looking at that list right now, and if you're not on it they're calling somebody else. It works the same way in every town you drive to.

Local SEO in Lake Elmo, MN
Local SEO means your business shows up on Google when someone in Lake Elmo searches for the work you do.
Lake Elmo is growing fast. It had 6,863 people in 2000 and 11,335 in 2020, and the city's 2023 estimate was 14,033, up 24 percent in three years. More than half the homes here have gone up since 2000, and 42 percent since 2010. Only about 6 percent of the homes are rentals, so nearly everyone here owns their house and hires their own contractors. When they need one, they look on Google and put Lake Elmo in the search.
Highway 36 runs along the north side of town and I-94 along the south. Oakdale is 4 miles away, Woodbury is 8 miles south, Stillwater and Oak Park Heights are 8 miles east, Maplewood is 8, and Hudson is 14 across the river. Each of those towns has its own list on Google. A contractor whose site says only Lake Elmo won't be on those lists, and the people searching there call someone else.

Every tradeQuestions
Questions people in Lake Elmo ask
- Do I need an office in Lake Elmo to show up in Lake Elmo?
- 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 Oakdale, Stillwater or Woodbury shows up in Lake Elmo the same way, with a page about Lake Elmo.
- Half of Lake Elmo is new houses. Does that change what the page says?
- Yes. The Lake Elmo page is about Lake Elmo: the subdivisions between Highway 36 and I-94 and the 168 houses permitted in 2023. That's what makes it a page about the town, and a page about the town is what gets you onto Lake Elmo's list when someone there searches Google.
- I already have a website. Can you make it show up in Lake Elmo?
- We replace it. Your web address stays the same, and the new site goes up in its place with a page for Lake Elmo and one for every other town you work in, Oakdale, Stillwater, Woodbury and Hudson across the river included.
- Do you handle my Google Business Profile?
- It stays yours. We match it to the site, so someone in Lake Elmo 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 Stillwater from Lake Elmo?
- A new page starts from zero, and it usually takes a few months to build up. Stillwater is 8 miles east, and it gets its own page, built the same way as the one for Lake Elmo. It varies by town and by trade, and we don't promise a spot on Google. We build the page, tell Google about it, and keep it listed.
