St. Croix County, Wisconsin

Contractor Website Design in Hudson, WI

Hudson is the seat of St. Croix County, 14,755 people at the 2020 census, on the Wisconsin bank of the St. Croix River where I-94 crosses into Minnesota. A contractor here works both sides of the river: North Hudson, River Falls and Roberts on this side, Stillwater, Woodbury and Lake Elmo on the other. 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 Hudson.

From Hudson it's 4 miles to North Hudson, 6 to Bayport, 10 to Roberts, 10 to River Falls, 11 to Stillwater, 13 to Woodbury, 14 to Lake Elmo, 17 to Prescott, 17 to Somerset and 18 to New Richmond.

The problem

Showing up in the towns around Hudson

Say you do garage floors out of Hudson. Someone in Woodbury, 13 miles west on I-94, searches for garage floor coating and gets a list of names. If your site only talks about Hudson, 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 Hudson, WI

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.

Hudson was settled in 1840 and got its name in 1852, when the first mayor, Alfred Gray, decided the bluffs on the St. Croix looked like the Hudson River back home in New York. The lumber money built houses that are still standing: the Octagon House went up in 1855, and the Sixth Street and Second Street districts went on the National Register in 1984. US 12 once crossed the river here on a toll bridge, and the causeway that led to it is now the Dike, a walkway out into the water. Willow River State Park, five miles north, is 2,891 acres and drew about 687,000 visitors in 2024.

The rest of the city is new. Hudson had 8,775 people in 2000 and 14,755 in 2020, and St. Croix County was Wisconsin's fastest-growing county between 2000 and 2010. The median home in Hudson was built in 1995, more than half the housing has gone up since 1990, and about 2,900 units have gone up since 2000. A third of the homes are rentals. Hudson Hospital has been here since 1953 and part of HealthPartners since 2008. New subdivisions mean new driveways, garage floors, lawns and fences, all on ground that freezes: Wisconsin code puts footings at least 48 inches down, and Minnesota's, across the bridge, 42.

Questions

Questions people in Hudson ask

Do I need an office in Hudson to show up in Hudson?
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 North Hudson, Roberts or River Falls shows up in Hudson the same way, with a page about Hudson.
I work both sides of the river. Can one site cover Hudson and Stillwater?
Yes. Hudson gets its own page, and so does Stillwater, 11 miles up the river on the Minnesota side, and so do Woodbury, Lake Elmo and every other town you work in. One site, one price, both states. Google gives each town its own list, and each page is written for that town.
I already have a website. Can you make it show up in Hudson?
We replace it. Your web address stays the same, and the new site goes up in its place with a page for Hudson and one for every other town you work in, on both sides of the river: River Falls, Stillwater, Woodbury and the rest.
Do you handle my Google Business Profile?
It stays yours. We line it up with the site, so someone in Hudson 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?
A new page starts from zero, and it usually takes a few months to build up. Woodbury has about five times the people Hudson 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.
