Built around your line of work

Websites for
service businesses.

Most of our work is for local service businesses: the trades, home services, and practices that win jobs from Google Maps and “near me” searches. Each industry page explains how we approach local search for that line of work.

Where we work

Minneapolis, St. Paul,
and the suburbs between.

VeloRank is based in Rosemount. We build websites for businesses in Minneapolis, St. Paul, and Twin Cities suburbs like Bloomington, Eagan, Burnsville, Apple Valley, Lakeville, and Edina. A website for a local business has to rank where its customers are, so every build includes location schema and the local SEO foundations your service area needs.

A little care goes a long way

Built to last.

A few things to know

Questions,
answered.

Costs, timelines, hosting, and choosing the right platform for your business.

How much does a website cost?

Our websites start at $499 for a 5-page starter site. Professional custom designs run $1,500–$3,000, and custom or e-commerce builds start at $3,000. Every package includes SEO optimization, mobile-first design, and schema markup—no hidden subscription required.

How long does it take to build a website?

Starter sites are typically completed in 1-2 weeks. Professional sites take 2-4 weeks. Custom/Enterprise projects vary based on scope, usually 4-8 weeks.

What makes your websites SEO-optimized?

Every website includes proper heading structure, schema markup, fast loading speeds (Core Web Vitals optimized), mobile-first design, and local SEO foundations like NAP consistency and Google Business Profile integration readiness.

Do you offer website hosting?

Yes! We offer managed WordPress hosting starting at $29/month. This includes automatic updates, daily backups, security monitoring, SSL certificates, and priority support.

Can you redesign my existing website?

Absolutely. Website redesigns are one of our most popular services. We can migrate your existing content to a new, SEO-optimized design while preserving your search rankings.

How much does website maintenance cost?

Managed hosting and care runs $29–$99 a month. That covers hosting, updates, daily backups, security monitoring, and SSL. Content changes beyond small edits are quoted as needed.

How much does a website redesign cost?

A redesign is priced on the same packages as a new site. Most established businesses fit the Professional package ($1,500–$3,000), which includes content migration and redirects so you keep the rankings you already have.

Do you only work with Minneapolis businesses?

No. VeloRank is based in Rosemount and works with businesses across Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the Twin Cities suburbs. We can work remotely with businesses outside Minnesota, too.

Should I choose WordPress, Next.js, or Squarespace?

WordPress is ideal for blogs, content-heavy sites, and businesses that need easy self-editing. Next.js is best for performance-critical sites, high-traffic businesses, and custom web applications. We generally steer local businesses away from Squarespace and Wix when ranking matters, because custom WordPress and Next.js builds give you far more control over speed, schema, and on-page SEO. We'll recommend the right fit during your free consultation.
