TLG Marketing gives Minneapolis businesses one team for search, Google Maps, social media, websites and paid campaigns on Google, Facebook and LinkedIn. The agency was founded in 2006 and is based in Long Beach, California; we work with Twin Cities clients remotely and report on the calls, forms and sales each channel produces.
What it takes to win customers in Minneapolis
Minneapolis combines a corporate economy, a long winter and a second downtown a few miles east in Saint Paul, and each of those shapes a marketing plan.
- Corporate buyers are concentrated here. Target and U.S. Bancorp are headquartered downtown, and General Mills, Best Buy, UnitedHealth Group and 3M are in nearby suburbs. Firms that sell to large companies reach decision-makers through LinkedIn, account-based ads and content that answers procurement questions.
- Medical technology is a specialty. The region’s device makers and health companies, often grouped as Medical Alley, buy from suppliers who can explain technical and regulatory detail, and those buyers expect a thorough website before they take a meeting.
- Seasons flip the search calendar. Furnace repair, snow removal and ice dam searches dominate winter, while decks, landscaping, boats and lake cabins take over in summer. Campaigns built in advance can switch on as soon as the weather turns.
- Saint Paul is its own market. The state capital has its own neighborhoods, media and loyalties, so customers there look for businesses that name Saint Paul, and a page written only for Minneapolis can miss them.
How we run a Minneapolis marketing campaign
We start by separating your consumer and business audiences, since they rarely share a channel. Tracking for calls, forms and booked meetings comes first, followed by fixes to your Google Business Profile and key landing pages. Then we launch the mix your budget supports, for example search ads and local SEO for homeowners or LinkedIn and Google Ads for corporate buyers, with seasonal campaigns ready before each season starts.
Each report tracks what you spent, how many leads came in and what each one cost, channel by channel. For B2B work, our LinkedIn lead generation page explains the approach.

// Questions
Marketing in Minneapolis: common questions
Do you have an office in Minneapolis?
No, our office is in Long Beach, California, and we work with Minneapolis businesses remotely through video calls, shared dashboards and regular reports.
Is LinkedIn advertising worth it for a Minneapolis B2B company?
Often, yes. The Twin Cities are home to an unusually large number of corporate headquarters, including Target, General Mills, Best Buy and 3M, along with a cluster of medical technology firms, so LinkedIn lets you reach buyers by employer, job title and industry. We usually pair it with search ads so you also appear when those buyers look for your service.
How much does digital marketing cost?
It depends on your market, your goals and which channels you need. Tell us your monthly budget on the form and we'll recommend the mix that budget can support.
Do I need every channel?
No. Many businesses start with one or two channels, usually search and a better website, and add more once those produce leads.
How do you report results?
You get regular reports on spend, leads and cost per lead by channel, so you can see what each dollar produced.
