Web Design + SEO in St. Paul.
Minneapolis Made is a web design, SEO, and digital marketing agency serving St. Paul businesses. Our office on Aldrich Avenue South is 15 minutes from downtown St. Paul, and we have spent 25 years building sites that rank, convert, and feel like the brands behind them.
Capital-city institutions, family-owned shops, professional services, and nonprofits — we work with St. Paul the way it works: methodical, thorough, no shortcuts.
Why St. Paul businesses need a different web strategy than Minneapolis
St. Paul is older, denser, and more institutional than its sister city across the river. The capital sits here — so does most of Minnesota's government, legal, and healthcare infrastructure. Macalester, Hamline, St. Thomas, St. Catherine, Concordia, and Bethel cluster the higher-education economy. Cathedral Hill and Summit Avenue concentrate professional services. Lowertown anchors the arts. Customers searching for a "St. Paul lawyer" or "St. Paul dentist" are looking for someone embedded in the East Metro, not someone who lives across the river. Service pages that mention St. Paul once at the bottom do not earn that trust. Every page we build for a St. Paul business is geographically grounded — neighborhood mentions, real photos of the city, NAP that proves the listing is legitimate, and schema that ties the entity to the right city in Google's Knowledge Graph.
What we do for St. Paul businesses
Web Design
Conversion-focused, mobile-first websites for St. Paul businesses. We build for clinics on Grand Avenue, law firms in Cathedral Hill, restaurants in Lowertown, and shops along West 7th. No templates. Every site is photographed and copywritten for the actual St. Paul customer base.
Learn more →Search Engine Optimization
St. Paul SEO that targets the queries your customers actually type. Local pack optimization for "St. Paul [your service]" searches, schema markup keyed to your specific neighborhood, citation building across St. Paul-relevant directories, and content that answers the questions East Metro searchers ask.
Learn more →Digital Marketing
Email, PPC, social, and conversion strategy for St. Paul businesses. We segment by neighborhood when it matters — a Highland Park dental practice does not market the same way a downtown St. Paul accounting firm does. Targeted, measurable, no fluff campaigns built around the question your customer is trying to answer.
Learn more →Answer Engine Optimization
Get your St. Paul business cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Bing Copilot. AEO is the new local pack — when an East Metro customer asks an AI for the best dentist or web designer near Cathedral Hill, your business should be in the answer.
Learn more →WordPress Development
Custom WordPress development, theme work, plugin builds, WooCommerce stores, and migrations. Many St. Paul nonprofits and small businesses are running outdated WordPress installs — we modernize them without breaking anything that already works.

Hyper-local content + schema for businesses targeting customers in specific neighborhoods, not just the whole city.

Frequently Asked Questions
About St. Paul
Both. About a third of our active client roster is in St. Paul or the East Metro — clinics, law firms, restaurants, and nonprofits primarily. Our office is on Aldrich Avenue South in Minneapolis, but we drive to St. Paul regularly for in-person meetings and client work. The 15-minute commute is faster than most cross-town meetings within Minneapolis itself.
Most appointments can be scheduled within the same week. Christopher handles every initial consultation personally and meets clients at their offices when possible. Cathedral Hill, Lowertown, Highland Park, and Macalester-Groveland are 12 to 18 minutes from our location. The capital is closer than people think.
Search behavior. People in St. Paul search "St. Paul [service]" — not "Twin Cities [service]" and rarely "Minneapolis [service]". A Minneapolis-only landing page misses the East Metro searcher entirely. We build St. Paul-specific landing pages, schema, and citation strategies that earn local pack visibility within the capital city, not just across the river.
Yes. Maplewood, Roseville, Woodbury, Eagan, Mendota Heights, and Inver Grove Heights all have distinct local search behavior. Our service-area schema covers the East Metro, and we build neighborhood-specific content for businesses targeting customers in those specific communities.
Sometimes — it depends on whether you have a physical presence in St. Paul. If your office is in Minneapolis but you serve St. Paul customers, we can build service-area content targeting St. Paul keywords without misrepresenting your location. The local pack is harder to crack without a verified St. Paul address, but organic ranking for "St. Paul [service]" is achievable with the right content + schema strategy.
