SEO and Web Design in Moorhead, MNYOUR CUSTOMERS LIVE ON
BOTH SIDES OF THE RIVER.
I do local SEO and web design for Moorhead businesses, and I measure how you show up in Moorhead, in Dilworth and across the river in Fargo.
The Work
WHAT I DO FOR MOORHEAD BUSINESSES
Most of it falls under two services, and most engagements start with the first one.
Local SEO and AEO gets a business found in Google Maps, local search and AI answers. I start with what your customers actually type, then work on your Google Business Profile, your directory listings, the content on your site and a steady way to ask for reviews.
Web design starts with an hour-long interview, so the site sounds like you. Then I build it to turn visitors into calls and connect it to an automatic reply and follow-up, so a form filled out at night still gets an answer.
Google Maps
HOW A MOORHEAD BUSINESS SHOWS UP IN GOOGLE MAPS AND NEAR ME SEARCHES
When someone types “near me,” Google uses where that person is. You can’t put those words on a page and rank for them. What you can control is how clearly Google understands what you do and where you do it. For a Moorhead business, that usually comes down to this:
- →A complete Google Business Profile with the right categories and services. If you go to your customers, the profile hides your street address and lists the areas you serve.
- →The same business name, address and phone number on every directory that lists you.
- →New reviews coming in regularly, from customers who actually hired you.
- →A website that says plainly what you do and that you do it in Moorhead, so Google and AI search tools have something clear to read.
Across The River
REACHING CUSTOMERS IN FARGO, MOORHEAD AND DILWORTH
Your customers may not think much about the state line, and plenty of your competition is probably on the other side of it. If you serve Fargo too, your profile and your website should say so.
Listing Fargo as a service area tells customers you go there. It won’t get you ranked there by itself, because Maps results depend heavily on where the person searching is. A Moorhead business will usually have an easier time in Moorhead and Dilworth than on the far side of Fargo. Reviews and content can widen the area where you rank, but they don’t fully overcome distance.
That is why the free map covers 81 points across Fargo, West Fargo, Moorhead and Dilworth. It shows which side of the river you are winning on and where you don’t show up at all. Your website can also rank in the regular results below the map, which gives you another way to reach Fargo searchers.
Before You Hire
HOW TO CHOOSE WHO TO WORK WITH
Whoever you talk to, including me, these questions should get you straight answers:
- →Can you see where I rank today, across Moorhead and Fargo, before I pay anything?
- →Who will actually do the work on my account?
- →If I leave, do my Google Business Profile, website and listings stay in my name?
- →How long is the commitment, and what happens when it ends?
- →Do you guarantee rankings? Nobody controls Google's results, so treat a yes as a warning sign.
My answers on price and commitment are public. They’re in my guide to what local SEO costs in Fargo-Moorhead.
Results
WHAT TO EXPECT AND HOW YOU'LL SEE IT
Every 15 days you get a map report showing where you rank across your service area, point by point. You get it on schedule whether the news is good or not, so you never have to take my word for how things are going.
The initial commitment is 90 days, which is roughly how long it takes to see meaningful movement in the map pack. After that it runs month to month at the same rate. Crowded categories take longer, and some points on the map will usually improve before others. The local SEO page has before and after maps from a Fargo-area business, so you can see what a report looks like.
I also check how AI tools describe your business, since more people now ask them who to call. I use AI tools in my own work too.
Working Together
WHO YOU'LL WORK WITH
Apleo is one person, so the person you talk to is the person doing the work. I don’t run a storefront or have an office in Moorhead.
Send me the one search you most want to win and I’ll send you a free map snapshot within 48 hours. If you want to talk it through, it takes 20 minutes.
