Year-round locals plus big-event visitors
Boone businesses see waves of visitors for the railroad, Ledges State Park and the Farm Progress Show, on top of a steady base of year-round residents. Visitors search on their phones and decide fast, so accurate hours, photos and a quick-loading page decide who gets the business.
Many Boone businesses also serve customers in Ames and across Boone County. A clear service area and consistent business information across Google, Bing and Apple Maps make sure you show up in the right places.

Boone web design FAQ
How can my Boone business benefit from big events?
Get your Google Business Profile hours, photos and posts ready well before the event, and make sure your website loads fast on phones with your menu or services in plain text.
Do you work with businesses outside the Des Moines metro?
Yes. We're based in Ames, so Boone and the rest of central Iowa are home turf for us.
Can you fix an old website rather than replace it?
Sometimes. We'll look at what you have and recommend the most cost-effective path.
