Enterprise SEO and Business Technology Consulting in Minneapolis and St. Paul
Most of my work sits in Minneapolis and St. Paul, and it usually starts the same way. A site is not ranking, a system behind it is not doing what someone was promised...nobody can say which one is causing the other. Two decades in, that is still the most common call I get, enterprise and owner operated, B2B and B2C.
Stillwater is part of it too, out on the St. Croix at the eastern edge of the metro. A resident base and a steady flow of visitors make for two different kinds of customer there. Wherever the work sits, you get the person doing it...not an account manager relaying it.

Minneapolis, St. Paul and Stillwater
Being in the market is not a selling point on its own...it just means I am working from the same ground you are. I know which companies you are actually losing clicks to. I know what a realistic timeline looks like here, and when a result is being shaped by a Twin Cities buyer rather than a national one.
Minneapolis and St. Paul get written about as one thing, and they do not behave like one thing. Minneapolis carries the larger downtown, the national brands and most of the agencies I run into...a company there is usually fighting for a result someone else is already working on. St. Paul is the capital. The work there tends to run through institutions, long-held family companies and buyers who take their time...same metro, different sales cycle.
Stillwater is its own case. It sits on the St. Croix at the far eastern edge...a good deal of what happens there depends on people who do not live in the metro, including the traffic coming over from Wisconsin. A business there is often visible to two audiences at once, the neighbor searching by name and the visitor who has never heard of it. Those are rarely the same page.
The rest of the metro spans seven counties, and I work across it. Suburb by suburb detail sits on the Twin Cities SEO page. But that range matters less than it sounds...what matters is that I can sit in your office when the work calls for it, and that I have watched how buyers here search rather than reading about it.

“Matt knows his stuff when it comes to technical SEO requirements, including optimal site architecture and on page elements. He is up to speed on the ever changing search algorithms. He is also conscientious and a pleasure to work with.”
Guidelight Business Solutions
I brought Matt into Guidelight to develop a new market area for the company around enterprise mobile solutions. Through his direct leadership of multiple web and SEO initiatives, the company benefited first from formally establishing a new presence in the mobile space, then growing our market share with a focus on enterprises with revenues greater than $1B. Guidelight continues to enjoy the results of the marketing strategy Matt established.”

“Matt's SEO expertise proved invaluable at a time when our company was seeking to maximize its visibility and minimize its expenses. With Matt's help, we were able to cut our marketing spend to a fraction of the company's prior spend - and yet still realize much greater results. Shortly after Matt "optimized" our website, the company cut all marketing spending.
It is still hard for me to believe, but over a year later the site still ranked among Google's top results across the most relevant keywords. Matt is hard working and can push forward with little direction required. If one needs SEO or digital marketing help, they would be wise to contact Matt.”
