Web Design + SEO
Design and SEO built together from day one for Minneapolis businesses. No bolt-on optimization after launch — structure, speed, and content strategy are part of the build.
Web Design & SEO — Minneapolis, MN
FlintHorn builds websites for Minneapolis businesses where design and SEO are part of the same brief. Faster than local agencies, more technically capable than national ones. Senior-level work, no handoffs.
Minneapolis is home to six Fortune 500 headquarters, a deep bench of mid-market companies, and one of the most competitive digital markets in the Midwest. Target, UnitedHealth, US Bancorp, and dozens of growth-stage companies are all fighting for the same search real estate — and the bar for web performance keeps rising.
If you're a Minneapolis business competing for attention online, your website needs to do more than look polished — it needs to perform. That means fast load times, clean code, proper schema markup, and content that's built around how people actually search for your services in the Twin Cities.
FlintHorn is based in St. Croix Falls — one hour from downtown Minneapolis. We work with Minneapolis businesses that want design and SEO handled as one engagement, not three separate contracts. We build on a modern, performance-first stack and every site ships with a 100 Lighthouse score and architecture built to rank.
Whether you're in the North Loop, Uptown, the Mill District, or anywhere in the Twin Cities metro — we build sites that rank locally and load fast for every visitor.
Available as a full engagement or standalone — whatever fits your situation.

Moving Minneapolis businesses from WordPress, Wix, or Squarespace without losing rankings. We handle redirects, content mapping, and post-launch monitoring.
A full rebuild of your Minneapolis site with modern architecture, faster performance, and SEO baked into every template.
Site speed, crawlability, indexation, Core Web Vitals, structured data — the infrastructure Minneapolis businesses need to rank.
Optimizing your Minneapolis site for AI-powered search — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google SGE. Structured data and content strategies for the next generation of search.
Ongoing support for your Minneapolis content management system — updates, troubleshooting, training, and optimization.
Minneapolis has no shortage of web design agencies — but most of them are still shipping bloated WordPress builds that score 40 on Lighthouse and take five seconds to load. Your competitors are using the same playbook. We build on Astro, Sanity, and Vercel — a stack that produces 100-score sites loading in under a second. That's not a marginal improvement. It's a different category.
We're based in St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin — one hour from downtown Minneapolis. Close enough for in-person meetings when they matter, without the overhead of a Hennepin Avenue office. You get senior-level work at a better rate, with the kind of responsiveness that remote-only coastal agencies can't match.
Google is changing. ChatGPT, Perplexity, and AI Overviews are reshaping how people find businesses. Most agencies haven't adapted. We structure every site for both traditional SEO and LLM-powered search — so your Minneapolis business shows up wherever your customers are looking.
We work with businesses in Minneapolis and throughout the Twin Cities — in person or fully remote.

“We operate in the Fortune 500 ecosystem — our web presence has to reflect that. FlintHorn rebuilt our site with a performance-first architecture that loads instantly and ranks for the enterprise keywords our competitors were dominating. Within two months we were generating inbound leads from companies we'd been cold-calling for years.”
“We'd spent two years and tens of thousands of dollars with a Minneapolis agency that couldn't move us past page two. FlintHorn restructured our site architecture, rebuilt our content strategy, and within one quarter we were ranking top three for our most competitive keywords. The ROI wasn't even close.”
Most Minneapolis web design projects with FlintHorn range from $5,000 to $25,000 depending on scope, number of pages, and whether SEO and content strategy are included. We provide a detailed proposal after an initial consultation — no ballpark guesses or surprise invoices.

LLM SEO is the practice of optimizing your website to appear in AI-powered search results — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews. As more people use AI tools to find businesses, your site needs structured data and content patterns that these systems can parse. We build this into every site by default.
