Challenge

Atkinson Law’s Google Ads campaigns were spinning out of control, with ad spend climbing to $2,700 per month by early 2014. Despite pouring money into ads, they struggled with low-quality leads, clicks from irrelevant searches, and ads showing outside their service area. Without immediate improvement, their ad spend was on track to double, threatening their ROI and overall marketing effectiveness. They needed a PPC reset, and fast.

Solution

We rolled up our sleeves and dived into three years of campaign data, pinpointing the waste that was eating away their budget. cyberlicious® implemented keyword match type fixes, refined geotargeting, added negative keywords, and introduced ad scheduling magic. We also hooked up advanced call tracking, tracking every click and call with precision. Ongoing A/B testing ensured the campaigns stayed sharp and delivered sweet returns.

Result

By the end of 2014, Atkinson Law saved nearly 58% on ad spend, wrapping the year at $17,565.13 instead of the projected $32,400. With smarter targeting and improved scheduling, they avoided waste and attracted higher-quality leads. Armed with fresh insights from our integrated tracking, they gained full control over their campaigns. From spiraling costs to sweet, data-driven success—cyberlicious® delivered PPC results worth savoring.

What Is SEO Minnesota?

Search engine optimization (SEO) refers to the process of helping search engines better understand the content on your website to ensure that your pages achieve high rankings in relevant search results. High rankings on search engine results pages (SERPs) should increase the amount of qualified traffic that reaches your website.

SEO agencies help companies cultivate a potent online presence with the use of optimization strategies that improve search engine rankings. The Minnesota SEO company you select will monitor all optimization efforts to measure key metrics like bounce rates and site traffic from the state.

Appearing towards the top of relevant search results is crucial if you want potential customers to see your website. Most users only select one of the first three websites on a search results page. Less than 1% of searchers will navigate to the second page of search results.

Gaining online visibility is challenging when you're competing with hundreds or thousands of businesses that offer the same products or services. With a reputable and experienced SEO agency by your side, you can effectively optimize your website for search engines and obtain high rankings.

What Does a Minnesota SEO Company Do?

When you hire an SEO agency, they can help you improve your site's visibility on search engines like Google and Bing. A locally-based SEO agency can help you gain visibility among searchers in Minnesota by ranking higher for keywords that are relevant to your business.

For example, an HVAC company that operates out of Minnesota will receive more website traffic if they rank well for keywords like "HVAC company in Minnesota" or "HVAC near me". If you're searching for a company that offers SEO in Minnesota, make sure they understand how to improve site traffic, optimize websites, and convert users into paying customers. A comprehensive SEO strategy can also help you boost revenues.

  • Audits

    The first thing an SEO company does for an existing website is perform an audit. This process involves reviewing the entire website to determine where SEO improvements can be made. For example, slow-loading pages, duplicate content, and broken links must be identified and fixed to ensure that customers receive a fantastic user experience whenever they visit your website.
  • Keyword research

    Keyword research is necessary to identify high-traffic and relevant search terms that your core audience likely uses when accessing Google and other search engines. SEO companies strategically implement the most relevant terms in your website's content to bolster relevance and visibility.
  • Competitor analysis

    Understanding the competition makes it easier to gain and maintain an advantage. Competitor analysis involves assessing the competition's strengths, weaknesses, performance, and SEO strategies.
  • On-page optimization

    On-page optimization involves fine-tuning every element on your web pages. For example, components such as images, internal links, content, and HTML tags can be optimized to remove irrelevant content and boost search engine rankings.
  • Off-page optimization

    Off-page optimization is just as important as the steps you take to improve all on-page SEO elements. External techniques, such as managing your online reputation and taking advantage of social signals, can help improve your website's rankings and authority.
  • Content marketing

    Your website should contain videos, infographics, blog posts, and articles that are relevant to the interests and needs of your target audience. SEO companies can create optimized content that helps to foster engagement, build authority, and increase traffic.
  • Technical SEO

    The backend of your website can also be optimized to adhere to the technical requirements that search engines like Google expect from authoritative websites. These requirements apply to everything from security (HTTPS) and mobile-friendliness to indexing and site speed. For example, Google rewards websites that provide users with fast loading between site pages.
  • Local SEO

    Local SEO involves optimizing a company's online presence to ensure it ranks well in local search results. When a user adds "near me" or a specific location to a search query, Google will display local results. This form of optimization includes building citations, targeting various location-specific keywords, and managing your Google Business Profile.
  • Mobile SEO

    A high percentage of users who access Google do so from mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. Mobile SEO involves optimizing websites for these devices. It includes elements like loading speeds, usability, and responsive design for smaller screens. A responsive website will automatically adapt to the screen size of any device that accesses it.
  • Reporting and analysis

    SEO companies in Minnesota track and analyze the performance of websites with tools like Google Search Console and Google Analytics. These tools are used to measure metrics and KPIs associated with local optimization. The results of these measurements allow companies to adjust their strategies for the Minnesota market.

Why Should I Hire SEO Services in Minnesota?

There are plenty of reasons why your company should hire an SEO services provider in Minnesota. This type of business has the resources, skills, and expertise necessary to help you increase site traffic, revenue, and rankings.

Even if you have some knowledge of how to implement SEO techniques, search algorithms, and SEO tools are being updated regularly. It's best to work with an SEO agency that has comprehensive knowledge of complex SEO techniques and knows how to remain up to date-with the latest industry trends. The top SEO companies in Minnesota also offer the following advantages:

  • Knowledge of how to optimize websites to increase search engine rankings in the state
  • Thorough understanding of all popular search engine algorithms
  • Ability to scale SEO efforts as your company grows
  • Adaptable SEO strategies to meet unique business needs and align with the Minnesota market
  • Data analytics that tracks performance, identify SEO opportunities and make more informed decisions
  • Best-in-class software and tools for analyzing SEO performance and developing strategies
  • Technical SEO expertise to improve site speeds, mobile-friendliness, and website structure
  • High-quality content to attract site visitors and keep them engaged

How Do I Choose a Minnesota SEO Service for My Business?

When you begin your search for the right SEO services in Minnesota, you'll quickly discover that there are many agencies to choose from. While it can be challenging to find the right company for your business, there are a few techniques you can use to narrow your search and make the ideal choice.

First, it's highly recommended that you look at the agency's Semrush ranking. Semrush has assigned an Agency Score to every firm in Minnesota. These scores range from 1.0 to 5.0. It's best to have a score that's closer to 5.0. In Minnesota, the highest rating is 4.9, which is based on the health of the agency's website and the status of its Semrush Academy certification.

When doing your research, check if the agency has Google reviews. These reviews can help you learn about the experiences other customers have had with the agency. Choose an agency that is familiar with your location. An SEO agency can perform more effective local optimization if it knows the area.

Before you make your decision, go to the agency's page to study its specifics. Identify the SEO services they offer. Examine their pricing structure. Look for reviews and success stories from past clients, to understand the company you're thinking of hiring.

Once you complete your research, send comprehensive SEO requests for proposals (RFPs) to the agencies that you're considering. You can schedule a meeting with these agencies as well, to learn about their communication skills and assess their performance. However, if you don't want to do this, you can simply click "Get Matched" on our website. We'll find you the best agency for your needs.

What Red Flags Should I Watch Out For When Hiring a Minnesota SEO Company?

If you do your due diligence before requesting meetings with SEO agencies, it shouldn't be too challenging for you to make the right hire. There are, however, some red flags you should be on the lookout for. If you make the wrong choice, you could significantly damage your brand's reputation as well as your website's ranking.

  • Not offering SEO audit

    An SEO audit is among the most important features an agency can offer. It's highly recommended that you avoid working with SEO agencies that refuse to conduct a comprehensive audit of your website. The agency might instead provide a base level of optimization that they perform for every client. However, each SEO project should begin by identifying a website's specific optimization needs, opportunities, and gaps.
  • Guaranteeing results

    Don't consider agencies that guarantee fantastic and immediate results. While these guarantees can be persuasive, reputable companies don't offer them. Even the best SEO optimization efforts don't guarantee top rankings. Search engine optimization is a long-term process that should eventually help you boost your rankings and generate higher site traffic. However, search engine algorithms change regularly, which is why agencies shouldn't guarantee results.
  • Lack of transparency

    Don't hire SEO companies that aren't transparent when describing their services or mentioning their pricing. If companies are vague about the SEO tactics they use, they may be performing risky optimization methods that could damage your site's rankings if detected.
  • Black-hat tactics

    Over the years, Google and other search engines have identified and penalized SEO strategies that are designed solely to improve rankings without accounting for the user's experience.

    For example, the early era of SEO saw the rapid rise of keyword stuffing, which involves placing tons of keywords in a small amount of content. The content then becomes unreadable to the user. Other black-hat techniques, such as buying links or cloaking, can lead to stiff penalties from Google, which could damage your site's reputation.

  • Outdated or low-quality content

    It's a good idea to stay away from agencies that don't regularly update the content on your website. Maintaining SEO success requires relevant, timely, and high-quality content. If the content on your website is low-quality or outdated, users may leave for good.
  • Lack of case studies or testimonials

    Avoid hiring an SEO company that doesn't have many detailed testimonials or case studies on its website. When you request reviews from past clients, reputable SEO agencies will respond by giving you access to past work that indicates long-term success.
  • Overemphasis on link-building

    Some modern SEO agencies emphasize link building with little attention shown to other important techniques. While acquiring links can help you increase your rankings, a comprehensive SEO strategy involves many additional strategies. Agencies that only focus on a single type of SEO might be taking shortcuts, which could result in penalties and low rankings.
  • No clear reporting or analytics

    Avoid working with agencies that won't provide you with clear and consistent reporting. Reputable agencies want to deliver regular reports that show the latest results and highlight potential areas of improvement.

What Are the Key Success Metrics of SEO in Minnesota?
