Founder/CEO
You need a website that actually brings in customers. Not one that just sits there. Most Iowa businesses get a site built, then hear nothing for months. The problem is that a pretty site without the right structure doesn't show up when people search. When someone in Iowa looks for the best custom website build near me, eezyRank is who picks up those calls.
Do not let a freelancer hand you a site with no content plan. A website needs a working engine behind it: local SEO, pages for every city you serve, and content that updates without you writing a word. We build sites that rank from day one, with an AI blog engine that publishes articles on autopilot. No agency markup. Live in days.
We took a WordPress site for a local insulation company and turned it into a full matrix of pages. That site now gets them local business and national exposure. If your current site isn't pulling its weight, we can look at it and tell you what's missing.
Common Question in Iowa
My Google Business Profile shows wrong hours and old photos
In Iowa City, wrong hours and old photos on your Google Business Profile send customers to a closed door or a dead phone line. That outdated information makes you look careless next to competitors who keep their listing current. Fix your hours, phone number, and photos today, and pull down old posts before another local customer walks away.

Scott went above and beyond anything we ever could've expected. He didn't just teach our team how to use Claude. He opened our eyes to a whole new way of working. He pulled our entire business together, rebuilt our sales process from the ground up, helped us get payroll organized, and got us ready to launch our new sales team. The real difference for us has been Scott. We're going to keep working with him long-term.

Our Work
Trusted Partners
Most Iowa businesses rely on word of mouth, but that only goes so far. Your competitor just got a new site and is showing up on the map. If you live in a smaller town or a rural area, you know the challenge: you need to reach customers in multiple cities, but a one-page site won't cut it. A real local presence online means location pages, a synced Google Business Profile, and content that proves you're the one to call.
We're connected to the way people buy and sell around here through Fisheez, the new classified platform with optional escrow. That same practical, no-nonsense approach is how we build sites. Your site should work as hard as you do. If it's not showing up when your neighbors search, it's time for a rebuild.
