Contractor Website Design in Stillwater, MN
Stillwater is the seat of Washington County, 19,394 people at the 2020 census, on the Minnesota bank of the St. Croix across from Wisconsin. It's the east edge of the Twin Cities, and a contractor here works Oak Park Heights and Bayport next door, Lake Elmo and Oakdale out Highway 36, Woodbury to the south, and Hudson and Somerset across the river. We've built sites for concrete coating and sealcoating companies that show up on Google a long way from their shop, and one of them already shows up in Stillwater.

The problem
Showing up in the towns around Stillwater
Say you pour concrete out of Stillwater. Someone in Woodbury, 15 miles south, searches for a concrete driveway and gets a list of names. If your site only talks about Stillwater, you're not on it. Google gives Woodbury its own list, and it fills that list with businesses that say they work in Woodbury.
Google gives every town its own list. Someone in Woodbury 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 Stillwater, 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.
Stillwater calls itself the birthplace of Minnesota: the 1848 convention that started the push for a territory met here, and the territorial prison opened here in 1853. The state prison that still carries the name is actually in Bayport, where it was built between 1910 and 1914. Lumber built the town. The St. Croix Boom Site two miles upstream sorted the logs for the mills, and the money went into the brick downtown, 63 buildings from the 1860s to 1940 across 11 blocks, on the National Register since 1992. The lift bridge opened in 1931, closed to cars in 2017 when the St. Croix Crossing opened downstream at Oak Park Heights, and reopened in 2020 as part of a five-mile walking and biking loop.
About a quarter of the homes in Stillwater were built before 1940, the median home dates to 1980, and 23 percent are rentals. The city grew from 15,143 people in 2000 to 19,394 in 2020, and about 2,000 housing units have gone up since 2000. Lakeview Hospital, here for more than 140 years, is building a new hospital at Highway 36 and Manning Avenue to open in early 2028. Old houses on a river bluff mean roofs, foundations, retaining walls and stairs, and the code here puts footings at least 42 inches down, six inches less than Wisconsin's across the bridge.

Every tradeQuestions
Questions people in Stillwater ask
- Do I need an office in Stillwater to show up in Stillwater?
- 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 Oak Park Heights, Lake Elmo or across the river in Hudson shows up in Stillwater the same way, with a page about Stillwater.
- You're in Wisconsin. Can you build for a Minnesota contractor?
- Yes. We're in western Wisconsin, across the river, and a site works the same on either side of it. The customer on this page is based in River Falls and shows up on Google in Stillwater, Woodbury, Lakeville and the rest of the east metro. Your site gets a page for Stillwater and one for every town you work in, in either state.
- I already have a website. Can you make it show up in Stillwater?
- We replace it. Your web address stays the same, and the new site goes up in its place with a page for Stillwater and one for every other town you work in, Oak Park Heights, Lake Elmo, Woodbury and the Wisconsin side included.
- Do you handle my Google Business Profile?
- It stays yours. We match it to the site, so someone in Stillwater 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 Woodbury?
- A new page starts from zero, and it usually takes a few months to build up. Woodbury has about four times the people Stillwater 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.
