Hi, I’m Mike DeMuth, your Cedar Rapids-based Geo-Targeting SEO expert. I help contractors, HVAC, roofers, e-commerce, and service businesses own local search in Scott County — Iowa’s third-largest market and the heart of the Quad Cities metro with over 175,000 residents and 600,000+ monthly searches.
Call or TEXT (319) 775-0736 — I answer personally, just 90 minutes from Davenport.
Why Scott County Needs Geo-Targeting SEO
Scott County anchors the Iowa side of the Quad Cities — a cross-state metro of 400,000+ people. With Davenport as the urban core and Bettendorf’s affluent suburbs, local searches like “roof repair Davenport” or “HVAC near me Bettendorf” exceed 600,000 queries monthly. Generic SEO gets buried — you need hyper-local, AI-driven strategies to dominate the map pack and organic results across the Mississippi.
Scott County’s Top 5 Cities (My Focus Areas)
- Davenport – 100,000 residents, 500k+ searches/mo (manufacturing, retail, legal)
- Bettendorf – 40,000 residents, high-income (dentists, luxury services)
- Eldridge – 7,000 residents, growing fast (home services, contractors)
- Le Claire – 4,000 residents, riverfront charm (tourism, dining)
- Blue Grass – 1,700 residents, rural edge (plumbing, HVAC)
These cities generate 80% of Scott’s local search volume — my geo-targeting hits them all with precision.
