Locally Focused in Ankeny
We Speak Ankeny.
Ankeny is growing fast, and that means local search competition is getting tougher every month. We design and develop modern websites tailored to how people in Ankeny actually discover businesses — often on mobile, often near key hubs like the Ankeny Market & Pavilion (AMP) Park, and often with "near me" intent as they move between neighborhoods like Prairie Trail, Northgate, and Uptown. It is also where we are based, which is why we know it well enough to write this paragraph without looking anything up.

Why Ankeny Brands Choose Us
Strategy and design that match how Ankeny shoppers search, compare, and buy.
Hyper-Local SEO
We build location-first pages and on-page SEO for Ankeny-specific intent — Uptown, Prairie Trail, "near I-35" — plus LocalBusiness schema to help you show up where it counts.
Community Trust by Design
In a community powered by word-of-mouth and reviews, we design sites that surface trust fast: testimonials, recognizable local cues, clear service areas, and frictionless contact paths.
Mobile-First for Busy Locals
Between school schedules, tournaments, and commuting into the Des Moines metro, your customers are on their phones. We prioritize speed, readability, and thumb-friendly conversion flows.
Competitive Advantage in a Growing City
We review local competitors' sites — speed, UX, offers, SEO footprint — and build a sharper experience: faster pages, clearer messaging, and stronger conversion copy.

What our own website redesign improved
A new website should improve more than its appearance. When we redesigned Royal Palm Marketing’s website, we compared technical crawls from October 24 and October 30, 2026 to see what changed.
Across our five city web-design pages, average recorded response time fell from 0.744 seconds to 0.285 seconds, approximately 62% lower. Our full-size owner portrait file became approximately 75% smaller. Each of our three retained articles went from two internal linking pages to 23, making those resources more connected to the site.
These are measured technical changes, not promises of higher rankings or more sales. Response time is a crawler’s request measurement, not the time it takes an entire page to load. The point is to check the work, explain the results, and distinguish evidence from assumptions.
How it goes
Our Local Design Process
Simple, effective, and focused on your growth.
Local Market Analysis
We map your Ankeny competitors and search demand, then identify the quickest wins: what to rank for, what to build, and what to fix first.
Strategic Design
We design clean, modern pages that fit your brand while matching what converts locally — clear service categories, proof, pricing signals when appropriate, and strong calls to action.
Development & SEO
We develop a fast site and implement technical SEO: schema, internal linking, metadata, image optimization, and indexable localized content.
Launch & Growth
After launch, we track calls, forms, and traffic quality, then refine pages based on what Ankeny visitors actually do rather than on guesswork.

What we aim to be for every Ankeny client
Questions Ankeny business owners ask before a redesign
What should a website-design quote include?
Ask for a written list of pages, content responsibilities, revisions, forms, SEO setup, launch tasks, support, and ongoing fees. Confirm what is included, what is excluded, and who is responsible for each item.
How do I compare two website companies fairly?
Give both companies the same project brief. Compare deliverables, content responsibilities, ownership terms, support, and required fees, not just the total price. Ask each company to clarify anything not stated in its written proposal.
Do I need to replace every part of my current website?
Not necessarily. Review the pages, content, images, and functions that remain useful. Identify what to keep before rebuilding. A redesign should address actual problems rather than discard everything by default.
Can I keep my domain name and existing page addresses?
A redesign can retain your domain and important page addresses. When an address must change, plan the redirect and update its internal links before launch.
Is a new website the same as an ongoing SEO program?
No. Search-friendly pages and launch checks are different from ongoing content, local visibility work, and competitive research. Ask what the build includes and what would require a separate ongoing service.
Can I see a design before committing?
Qualified businesses can request a free website mockup from Royal Palm Marketing before committing. A mockup shows a proposed direction; it is not the finished website.
