Minneapolis Made

Founded in 1996 as a web design practice and running SEO services since 2001, Minneapolis Made is a small internet marketing agency based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, operating with a team of 1-10 people. It serves Minneapolis and Twin Cities-area businesses across sectors including legal marketing and home services, working with law firms, moving companies, restaurants, and retail-type clients. The agency positions itself around hands-on, senior-level work rather than account-manager layers typical of larger firms, and bills at an hourly rate rather than fixed packages. Services include web design and web development (custom PHP, JavaScript, and API integrations, built without page builders), WordPress development with custom themes, headless CMS builds, and e-commerce development. SEO work extends into AI-oriented optimization, described as AEO and GEO, aimed at getting sites cited by tools such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, AI Overviews, and Gemini, alongside traditional search ranking. Other listed services cover AI automation, graphic design, logo design, video production, and broader digital marketing and paid acquisition. Technical practice centers on Core Web Vitals and page-speed optimization, including sub-2-second mobile load targets, and the agency has published its own Google Lighthouse audit comparing itself against other Minneapolis web design firms. Site migrations are handled with attention to preserving existing SEO equity, and the agency also offers a free SEO audit tool and a WordPress malware scan on its site.
