Hennepin County, Minnesota
Contractor Website Design in Minneapolis, MN
Minneapolis is the seat of Hennepin County, 429,954 people at the 2020 census, on the Mississippi at St. Anthony Falls. A contractor based here works the suburbs as much as the city: Richfield, St. Louis Park and Edina start five to ten miles from downtown, Bloomington and Brooklyn Park are eleven, and St. Paul is twelve. We've built sites for concrete coating and sealcoating companies that show up on Google in towns a long way from their shop, and one of them already shows up across the south and east metro.
From Minneapolis it's 5 miles to Columbia Heights, 6 to Golden Valley, 7 to St. Louis Park, 8 to Richfield, 8 to Roseville, 10 to Edina, 11 to Bloomington, 11 to Brooklyn Park, 12 to St. Paul and 12 to Plymouth.

The problem
Showing up in the towns around Minneapolis
Say you pour concrete out of Minneapolis. Someone in Bloomington, 11 miles south on I-35W, searches for a concrete driveway and gets a list of names. If your site only talks about Minneapolis, you're not on it. Google gives Bloomington its own list, and it fills that list with businesses that say they work in Bloomington.
Google gives every town its own list. Someone in Bloomington 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 Minneapolis, 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.
Minneapolis grew up around St. Anthony Falls, where the mills ground more flour than anywhere in the world in 1884, and the city hit 521,718 people in 1950. It has 429,954 now, in 83 neighborhoods around 13 lakes with 24 miles of shoreline. The housing is old: four in ten homes were built before 1940, the median home dates to 1954, and more than half the households rent. The 2040 plan the city adopted in 2018 ended single-family-only zoning citywide, and about 31,000 housing units have gone up since 2010. Target is headquartered on Nicollet Mall, and the University of Minnesota has about 58,000 students and 27,700 employees on the Twin Cities campus.
Minneapolis averages 51 inches of snow, the record low is 41 below, and Hennepin County is in the state's 42-inch frost zone, so footings go at least three and a half feet down. That's roofs, foundations, sewer lines and plumbing on about 88,000 pre-war houses, retaining walls and drainage on the lake lots, driveways and garage slabs on ground that freezes, and the added units the 2040 plan opened up on the 70 percent of residential land that was zoned for single-family houses. The suburbs are close: Richfield and Edina are eight and ten miles from downtown, and Bloomington, Brooklyn Park and Plymouth are within a dozen.

Every tradeQuestions
Questions people in Minneapolis ask
- Do I need an office in Minneapolis to show up in Minneapolis?
- 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 Richfield, Brooklyn Park or Plymouth shows up in Minneapolis the same way, with a page about Minneapolis, and a Minneapolis crew shows up in the suburbs the same way.
- I work the whole metro. How many town pages does one site get?
- One for every town you work in. A contractor based in Minneapolis usually starts with the ring around it, Richfield, St. Louis Park, Edina, Bloomington, Roseville and St. Paul, and adds towns as the work spreads. Every one of them is part of the $497, and so is every town you add later.
- I already have a website. Can you make it show up around Minneapolis?
- We replace it. Your web address stays the same, and the new site goes up in its place with a page for Minneapolis and one for every suburb you work in, Bloomington, Edina, Plymouth and the rest.
- Do you handle my Google Business Profile?
- It stays yours. We line it up with the site, so someone in Minneapolis who finds you on the map sees the same name, number and towns on your website, and the service areas on the profile match the town pages. When something on it needs changing, we help.
- How long until I show up in Bloomington?
- A new page starts from zero, and it usually takes a few months to build up. Bloomington is a city of about 90,000 with a long list of its own, so it can take longer there than in a smaller suburb. We don't promise a spot on Google. We build the page for Bloomington the same way we build the one for Minneapolis, tell Google about it, and keep it listed.
