The problem
Showing up in the towns around Spooner
Say you do excavating out of Spooner. Someone in Shell Lake, 6 miles south on Highway 63, searches for an excavating contractor and gets a list of names. If your site only talks about Spooner, you're not on it. Google gives Shell Lake its own list, and it fills that list with businesses that say they work in Shell Lake.
Google gives every town its own list. Someone in Shell Lake 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 Spooner, 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.
Spooner is a railroad town. The North Wisconsin Railway built north of here in 1879, the operation moved south to the junction with the Chicago and North Western, and the place took its name from John Coit Spooner, the railroad's attorney and later a US senator. It became a city in 1909. The old depot is the Railroad Memories Museum now, and the Wisconsin Great Northern, out of Trego, runs dinner trains on 26 miles of track between Spooner and Hayward. Two houses from those years are on the National Register: the Siegner House, built by the owner of the Big C.O.D. Bee Hive department store and listed in 1982, and the Polson House of 1917, a Prairie School design by Purcell and Elmslie, listed in 1984.
The Governor Thompson hatchery here is the state's largest cool-water fish hatchery and the world's largest for musky, rebuilt in 1995 on a site that has raised fish since 1913, with 46 ponds. The Heart of the North Rodeo has run every July since 1954. Spooner Health, a 25-bed critical access hospital that opened in 1955, moved into a new building in 2016. The USDA counts Washburn County as a retirement and recreation destination, and the housing shows it: about 4,700 of the county's 12,900 housing units are seasonal places, more than a third. In the city itself the median home was built in 1971, about 220 of 1,170 units predate 1940, and 43 percent of the homes are rentals. Footings go at least 48 inches down under Wisconsin code, and the freeze and thaw is hard on driveways, slabs and foundations.

Every tradeQuestions
Questions people in Spooner ask
- Do I need an office in Spooner to show up in Spooner?
- 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 Shell Lake, Trego or Minong shows up in Spooner the same way, with a page about Spooner.
- I already have a website. Can you make it show up in Spooner?
- We replace it. Your web address stays the same, and the new site goes up in its place with a page for Spooner and one for every other town you work in, Shell Lake, Hayward, Cumberland and Rice Lake included.
- Do you handle my Google Business Profile?
- It stays yours. We line it up with the site, so someone in Spooner 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 Shell Lake?
- A new page starts from zero, and it usually takes a few months to build up. Shell Lake is the county seat but a smaller town than Spooner, so its list is short. It varies by trade, and we don't promise a spot on Google. We build the page, tell Google about it, and keep it listed.
- Half my customers are cabin owners. Does that change anything for Spooner?
- It changes the towns, not the price. Someone with a cabin on a lake by Trego or Minong usually searches for that town, not for Spooner, so the site gets a page for each of them and for every other place you work. $497 a month covers all of it. No setup fee, no contract, cancel any month.
