Oakdale is in Washington County, between I-694 and I-94, and a crew based here is close to a lot of towns. Lake Elmo and North St. Paul are next door, Maplewood and White Bear Lake are to the west, Woodbury is to the south, and Stillwater is up Highway 36. People in every one of those towns search Google with their own town's name and call the contractors that come up. We build contractor websites that show up in every town you work in.

The problem
Showing up in the towns around Oakdale
Say you run a sealcoating crew out of Oakdale. Someone in Woodbury, 7 miles south across I-94, searches Google for driveway sealcoating and reads down a list of names. If your website only talks about Oakdale, yours isn't one of them. Google keeps a separate list for Woodbury and fills it with businesses whose sites say they work there.
Someone in Woodbury 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 Oakdale, MN
Local SEO means your business shows up on Google when someone in Oakdale searches for the work you do.
Oakdale is mostly built out. It had 26,653 people in 2000 and 28,303 in 2020, and fewer than 700 homes have gone up since 2010. About 7,300 of the city's homes were built in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, and at that age the owners are replacing what the builder put in. About three in four homes here are lived in by their owners, and those owners look for contractors on Google with Oakdale in the search.
I-694, I-94 and Highway 36 put the next town a short drive away. Lake Elmo and North St. Paul are 4 miles, Maplewood is 6 miles west, Woodbury and Mahtomedi are 7, White Bear Lake is 8, and Stillwater is 11 miles up Highway 36. Each of those towns has its own list on Google. A website that only names Oakdale leaves you off the lists for every town around it.

Every tradeQuestions
Questions people in Oakdale ask
- Do I need an office in Oakdale to show up in Oakdale?
- 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 Lake Elmo, North St. Paul or Maplewood shows up in Oakdale the same way, with a page about Oakdale.
- Oakdale runs into Maplewood and North St. Paul. Does Google tell them apart?
- Yes. Google gives each of them its own list, even where the city limits are a street apart. A search from Oakdale gets a different list than the same search from Maplewood, 6 miles west. Your site gets a page for Oakdale and one for each of the towns around it, so you're on all of those lists.
- I already have a website. Can you make it show up in Oakdale?
- We replace it. Your web address stays the same, and the new site goes up in its place with a page for Oakdale and one for every other town you work in, Lake Elmo, Woodbury, Maplewood and Stillwater included.
- Do you handle my Google Business Profile?
- It stays yours. We line it up with the site, so someone in Oakdale 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 Woodbury from Oakdale?
- A new page starts from zero, and it usually takes a few months to build up. Woodbury has close to three times the people Oakdale does, so there's more on its list and 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.
