A digital marketing agency for Ankeny businesses.
Ankeny is one of the fastest-growing suburbs in the Des Moines metro. That growth brings customers, and it brings competitors. Whatever you do, somebody two exits down does it too.
We do the same work the big agencies sell, with owner-level attention and without the overhead baked into the invoice.
Standing out in Ankeny is a different job than standing out in a small town.
In Stuart, a town of 1,700, being known is half the battle. Ankeny isn't that. It's a fast-growing Polk County suburb sitting on I-35 just north of Des Moines, and new businesses open every month. When somebody in Ankeny searches for what you do, they scroll past a wall of companies that look a lot like yours. Being good at the work isn't enough. You have to be findable, and you have to look like the obvious call.
The big agencies know it, and they pitch Ankeny businesses hard. Their invoices carry the account managers, the office lease, and the software markup that come with a big shop. You pay for the machine whether the machine is thinking about your business that month or not.
We're a small shop based in Stuart, and here's the part the other agencies can't say: we're in Ankeny all the time anyway. Our founder’s son goes to school at North Polk in Alleman, a few miles north of town, so school pickup happens here five days a week. Some of our best client videos get filmed waiting in that pickup line. When you call, you get the person doing the work, not a coordinator reading from your file, and meeting face to face doesn't require an appointment three weeks out. Call or text (515) 422-6208.
The Ankeny businesses we work with.
Three clients, three different trades. The work looks different for each one. The attention doesn't.

Recent work in Ankeny.
What we've actually shipped for Ankeny clients lately. Dated, so you can check it.
Tebock's Landscape: a page for yard drainage
Published September 2026. A new yard drainage page built for the searches Des Moines homeowners run after a week of rain.
Tebock's Landscape: a page for lawn seeding
Published September 2026. A new lawn seeding page built for the searches homeowners run when a lawn thins out, then added to the Lawn Care menu next to drainage so customers and Google can find both.
Tebock's Landscape: a page for paver patio restoration
Published September 2026. A new paver patio restoration page covering sunken paver repair, cleaning, and sealing, built for the searches homeowners run when an older patio starts to heave.
Leetown Advisors: a site-wide refresh
September 2026. A series of review-gated passes on leetownadvisors.com: dead buttons fixed, menu simplified, service names tightened, a new homepage graphic, the whole site moved to https. A running series of changes, with more drafted for their review.
Obsidian Heating & Cooling: the weekly posting run
Ongoing. Two posts a week to Facebook, Instagram, and their Google Business Profile, a service post and a lighter one, so the page never goes quiet during a busy season.
What an Ankeny business actually gets.
Not a package grid. The specific work that wins a crowded market.
A website built to compete
Your prospects compare you against a dozen tabs before they call anyone. Your site has to answer their questions faster and look sharper than the shop down the road.
Google visibility that earns the click
Your Business Profile kept current, your reviews answered, and your services showing up when an Ankeny homeowner or business owner searches. In September we audited Tebock's profile against the competitors Google surfaces for Ankeny landscaping searches and drafted the fixes. In a suburb this size, the map decides who gets the call.
Social media that sounds like you
Real photos and real updates from your business, posted consistently. Not stock images with your logo dropped in the corner.
One person who picks up
No ticket queue, no account coordinator. You text us, we answer, the thing gets done. That's what small-shop service means in practice.
Proof from an Ankeny client.
"After having a relationship end very poorly with a previous marketing agency, Nate was able to salvage the pieces I was left with and put them back together in an even better fashion than before. In the last two years, my business revenue has doubled to more than $500k and I attribute a lot of that growth to the work that Nate and Marketing Main Street has done for us. I look forward to continued growth with Marketing Main Street."
Questions we actually get.
Do you work with Ankeny businesses already?
Yes. Tebock's Landscape, Leetown Advisors, and Obsidian Heating and Cooling are all current Ankeny clients.
Ankeny has plenty of agencies. Why hire one from Stuart?
Same work, same data, no metro office overhead baked into the invoice. And we're in Ankeny constantly anyway: our founder's son goes to school just north of town, so being available here in person is a Tuesday, not a road trip. Nick TeBockhorst's review on this page says the rest better than we can.
Do you do SEO for Ankeny businesses?
Yes. Ankeny is a competitive market, so the work is the same routine we run for metro clients: a site that answers what people search, a Google Business Profile that stays current, service pages built for the searches Ankeny homeowners and business owners actually type, and a monthly look at what moved. Tebock's Landscape is the local example; their service pages are the pattern. Read more about how we handle SEO.
What does it cost compared to an Ankeny agency?
Less, for the same work, because you're not paying for a metro office or an account manager between you and the person doing it. We quote a number after one conversation about what you actually need, not from a package grid. If a bigger shop is the right fit for you, we'll say so.
How do we start?
