Selling online in West Des Moines, Iowa? GEO Marketing Group designs and builds fast, modern online stores for West Des Moines businesses, working remotely from our Providence, RI studio.

Quick answer

GEO Marketing Group designs and builds online stores for businesses in West Des Moines, IA, with fast product browsing, secure checkout, and a back end you can run yourself. The West Des Moines work is handled remotely from Providence, RI on a fixed quote, and the store, domain, and customer data are yours outright.

Big employers cluster along the interstates in West Des Moines. Wells Fargo's sprawling Jordan Creek campus makes the bank one of the largest employers in the metro, Hy-Vee runs its supermarket chain from headquarters on Westown Parkway, and Athene, Farm Bureau Financial Services, Sammons Financial Group, and GuideOne Insurance all keep their headquarters in the city. Microsoft has built several data center campuses here, and MercyOne West Des Moines Medical Center and UnityPoint Health Methodist West serve the growing west side. Retail is just as concentrated: Jordan Creek Town Center, the largest mall in Iowa, sits at the center of a ring of restaurants and big-box stores, West Glen Town Center mixes shops with offices and apartments, and Historic Valley Junction, the railroad town that became West Des Moines in 1938, lines Fifth Street with antique shops, galleries, and a Thursday farmers' market. Between them run University Avenue and Mills Civic Parkway, the corridors where most local service businesses set up.

Affluent, growing, and packed with competitors, West Des Moines is a market where the website often decides who gets the call. A family settling into a new subdivision off Mills Civic Parkway searches for a pediatrician, a Jordan Creek office manager needs a caterer, and a Valley Junction shop wants weekend visitors from across the metro, and all of them judge a business by how quickly a page loads on a phone. GEO builds custom sites for West Des Moines companies with clean, crawlable code, accurate details about the neighborhoods you serve, and short paths to a booking, an order, or a quote. Together with a complete Google Business Profile, that helps you qualify for local results, although Google decides placement on relevance, distance, and prominence, and we will not pretend otherwise. The project runs remotely from Providence, RI, and everything we build is yours to keep.

  • Wells Fargo's Jordan Creek campus, Hy-Vee's headquarters, and the home offices of Athene, Farm Bureau Financial Services, and Sammons Financial Group make West Des Moines a financial and corporate center.
  • Jordan Creek Town Center is the largest shopping mall in Iowa and anchors a dense retail and restaurant district on the west side.
  • Historic Valley Junction, the original railroad town, keeps a walkable Fifth Street of antique shops, galleries, and restaurants.
  • Microsoft operates multiple data center campuses in the city, adding to a strong base of technology and professional-services employers.
