# Scottsdale Web Design, Website Development and SEO

Plus AI search and Google Ads, from Old Town to North Scottsdale

Kihan Marketing is a digital marketing agency. We handle SEO, web design, AI search, Google and Meta Ads, local search and social media for Scottsdale and the wider Phoenix area. Med spas and healthcare practices are a specialty.

From Old Town to North Scottsdale, many of the people searching for you commute in for work or are only in town for the season. We help all of them find you, on Google and in AI answers.

## SEO services for Scottsdale businesses

We handle [SEO](https://kihanmarketing.com/services/seo/) from start to finish: technical audits, schema markup, content that answers real questions and link building.

Searches here often name a part of town or the town next door. People look for a med spa in North Scottsdale, Old Town or Paradise Valley, not only in Scottsdale. So each service gets its own page, and so does each area you serve, with details that are true of that area.

- Technical SEO and site audits
- Schema markup
- Content that answers real questions
- Link building
- Pages for each community you serve
- Search Console set up in your name

## Website design and development in Scottsdale

We design and build [websites](https://kihanmarketing.com/services/web-development/) on WordPress, Next.js or custom code, choosing by how far the site has to grow and who will edit it. Redesigns, speed work and maintenance are part of the job too.

About 100,000 Scottsdale residents are 55 or older. The W3C, which publishes WCAG, notes that sites accessible to people with disabilities are more accessible to older users as well. Our [ADA compliance](https://kihanmarketing.com/services/web-development/#ada-compliance) work tests a site against WCAG 2.2 at level AA, fixes what fails and checks it again with a keyboard and a screen reader. We do not use overlay widgets. It is technical work, not legal advice.

- New websites and redesigns
- WordPress development
- Next.js, React and custom code
- ADA compliance (WCAG 2.2 AA)

## AI search, ads, local and social in Scottsdale

### AI search

We work to get your business named in Google's AI Overviews, ChatGPT and Perplexity. This work is called answer engine optimization (AEO) or generative engine optimization (GEO).

Google states that nothing extra is required to appear in AI Overviews. A page must be indexed and able to show a snippet, and Google advises keeping the Business Profile current. So we write short answers to the questions people ask about a Scottsdale business. Do you cover North Scottsdale as well as Old Town? Do you come out to Fountain Hills? Can you fit in someone who is only in town for a week?

### Google and Meta Ads

We run pay-per-click (PPC) campaigns on [Google Ads](https://kihanmarketing.com/services/paid-ads/), and paid social on Facebook and Instagram. We can build TikTok and LinkedIn campaigns when they fit.

Most of Scottsdale's visitors come from elsewhere in the US, and Canada and Mexico send the most from abroad. By default, Google shows ads to people who have only shown interest in a place, as well as people who are there. That can help a med spa reach visitors before they arrive. For a plumber, it pays for clicks from people nowhere near the job. So we choose the setting for each campaign, and give Paradise Valley and Fountain Hills their own targeting where you serve them.

### Local SEO

We handle [local SEO](https://kihanmarketing.com/services/local-seo/) and the Google Business Profile itself: categories, services, hours, photos and a review routine that runs every week.

A Scottsdale business that also works in Cave Creek or Fountain Hills adds them as service areas, up to 20 in all. It may not open a second profile at a Fountain Hills address it does not work from. Nor may it add North Scottsdale to its business name, unless that is its real name. If a monsoon storm closes the business for a day or two, special hours keep the profile accurate.

### Social media

We manage [social media](https://kihanmarketing.com/services/social-media/) around the Scottsdale calendar. The busy season runs from January to April. February brings the WM Phoenix Open at TPC Scottsdale and the Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show at WestWorld. Summer is quieter for visitors, so posts turn toward locals.

Our [brand design](https://kihanmarketing.com/services/brand-design/) work, from logos and identity to guidelines and post templates, keeps the business looking like itself on the website, the profile and every post.

## How the Scottsdale area splits local search

Scottsdale-area search splits by distance along a 31-mile city and at its borders with neighboring cities, towns and a sovereign tribal community. Scottsdale is in Maricopa County, which with Pinal County makes up the Phoenix metro.

1. **One long city.** Scottsdale runs 31 miles from south to north and is 11.4 miles across at its widest. People search for North Scottsdale by name. Google's local results weigh distance to the searcher, so a business near Old Town may not show up in searches made up north.
2. **Neighbors with their own names.** Phoenix borders Scottsdale on the west, and Paradise Valley and Fountain Hills are towns of their own. Along nine miles of Loop 101, the land to the east belongs to the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community, a sovereign tribe, not to Scottsdale. Pages and ad areas should name the right place.
3. **Most people who work here live elsewhere.** Only 31,332 people both live and work in Scottsdale, while 168,663 commute in, by the Census Bureau’s 2020 commuting figures. So we plan pages and ads for customers who live outside the city limits as well as inside them.

### Scottsdale in numbers

- **11.7M** estimated visitors to Scottsdale in 2024, by the city’s own tourism study
- **43.6%** of Scottsdale’s 2024 hotel and motel sales tax came in January through April
- **49.0** median age in Scottsdale, about a decade above the US median (Census estimates for 2020 to 2024)
- **54,568** acres of Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community land, which borders Scottsdale on the east

## Med spas, roofing, property management and real estate in Arizona

Where medical doctors (MDs) practice at a med spa, plastic surgery practice or clinic, the SEO, ads and booking page start with Arizona’s Medical Practice Act. Roofers answer to the Registrar of Contractors, vacation rental managers to Scottsdale’s license rules and brokerages to the state’s advertising rule.

### Med spa and healthcare SEO

We handle SEO, Google Ads and the booking page for Scottsdale med spas from North Scottsdale to Old Town. Where MDs practice, that work starts from the Arizona rules below.

Arizona’s Medical Practice Act, which covers doctors of medicine, makes false or misleading advertising unprofessional conduct. It names ads by the doctor’s staff, employer or representative, not only the doctor’s own.

A page may call an MD board certified only if the certification is true and current and the page gives the full name of the organization that granted it. We write before-and-after captions and results claims with the misleading-advertising rule in mind.

HonorHealth is Scottsdale’s largest employer, and Mayo Clinic is among its ten largest. Next to health systems that size, an independent clinic can stand out by naming the treatment, the clinician and its part of town, such as North Scottsdale or Old Town.

- Arizona rule: A.R.S. 32-1401(27)(c) and (nn)
- Applies to: MDs, their staff, employers and representatives
- Services: Med spa SEO, Google Ads, booking pages

[Med spa SEO](https://kihanmarketing.com/med-spa-marketing/med-spa-seo/)

### Roofing

For Scottsdale roofers we build SEO, monsoon storm pages and Google Ads that go live before June 15 and show the ROC license number. On August 6, 2024, a monsoon downburst hit Scottsdale’s McCormick Ranch, with gusts the National Weather Service estimated at more than 60 to 70 mph. Downed trees destroyed a side roof at an apartment complex, and about 30 large trees were uprooted at McCormick Ranch Golf Club. Storm repair pages should be live before the season starts.

Arizona requires the ROC license number on published advertising. An internet ad may leave it off only if it links to a website that prominently shows the contractor’s name and license number. So the number belongs on the site.

A.R.S. 32-1158.02 covers home repairs for damage from a catastrophic storm in an area an insurer has designated. Once the homeowner files a claim, the contractor may not advertise or promise to pay the deductible, pay it, or give a rebate on it.

- Arizona rules: A.R.S. 32-1124 and 32-1158.02
- Season: Monsoon, June 15 to September 30
- Services: Roofing SEO, storm pages, Google Ads

### Property management

We build rental pages, listing templates and Google Ads for Scottsdale vacation and long-term rental managers, carrying the details Arizona and the city require. Arizona cities may not ban short-term rentals, but state law lets them require a license. Scottsdale does, under Ordinance 4566. Every listing or ad for a Scottsdale vacation rental must show the city license number, the occupancy limit and the restrictions on non-residential uses such as large parties and weddings. The city says it will penalize listings that leave them out. So all three go into rental pages and listing templates.

For long-term rentals, Arizona caps security deposits at one and a half months’ rent. Its cities and towns may not control rents on private housing, unless a state agency, city or town owns, finances, insures or subsidizes it. The purpose of any nonrefundable fee must be stated in writing. So listing pages should say what each fee is for.

- Scottsdale rule: Ordinance 4566 rental licenses
- Arizona rules: A.R.S. 9-500.39, 33-1321 and 33-1329
- Services: Rental pages, listing templates, Google Ads

[Property management marketing](https://kihanmarketing.com/property-management-marketing/)

### Real estate

In Scottsdale we build listing pages, area guides and near-me pages for brokerages, each showing the employing broker’s name the way Arizona requires. In Arizona, an ad for a specific property must show the employing broker’s legal name or dba name, clearly and prominently. An agent selling their own property must say "owner/agent". Online marketing aimed at Arizona residents counts as advertising.

Scottsdale has the highest median home price of the Valley’s large cities and towns, by the city’s census summary. We also run the posts and ads that send buyers to those pages.

- Arizona rule: A.A.C. R4-28-502
- Our client: Real estate agency, Sint Maarten
- Result: Clicks 1,545 to 2,478, July to September 2026 against 2025

## How to choose the best digital marketing agency in Scottsdale

Put these five questions to any agency you are weighing for SEO, a new website or ads, us included. The answers show who knows Scottsdale and who swapped in the city name.

1. **Find out who holds the logins.** The ad account, Business Profile, analytics and domain should all be yours.
2. **Ask an Arizona question.** A roofing agency should know where A.R.S. 32-1124 puts the ROC number, and a med spa agency what the Medical Practice Act says about board certification.
3. **Ask where in Scottsdale they would start.** Old Town and North Scottsdale are searched separately, and Paradise Valley is another town.
4. **Ask who the ads are meant to reach.** A Scottsdale PPC agency should say which campaigns target people nearby and which target visitors.
5. **Look for reviews that name the work.** A rating alone says little. Look for reviewers who say what was built or fixed. Kihan Marketing is rated 5.0 on Google.

## Your Scottsdale questions, answered

### Do you have an office in Scottsdale?

No. We work remotely, inside accounts you own, such as your Google Ads, Business Profile, Search Console and website. You can see every change we make.

### Do you also cover Paradise Valley, Fountain Hills and Cave Creek?

Yes. Each town you serve gets its own page, a place in your Business Profile service areas and, where it pays off, its own ad targeting. Google ranks local results partly by distance from the searcher, so a profile near Old Town will not always show for someone in Cave Creek.

### Can you check our Scottsdale website for accessibility problems?

Yes, as technical work. We test the site against WCAG 2.2 at level AA and fix what fails, such as contrast, image descriptions, headings, form labels, focus order and captions. Then we test it again with a keyboard and a screen reader. We never use overlay widgets. It is technical work, not legal advice, and no one can promise a site will not be sued.

### When is the busy season for Scottsdale businesses?

For businesses that serve visitors, winter and spring are the peak. Summer brings heat and storms. Phoenix logged 70 days at or above 110 degrees in 2024, by the National Weather Service’s count. The monsoon season runs from mid-June to September. We plan budgets and posts around both.

### What do AEO and GEO mean?

AEO is answer engine optimization and GEO is generative engine optimization. Both mean getting your business named when Google’s AI Overviews, ChatGPT or Perplexity answer a question. For a Scottsdale business, that starts with pages that plainly answer local questions, such as whether you serve North Scottsdale or Fountain Hills, and a current Business Profile.

### Do Scottsdale vacation rental ads need a license number?

Yes. Scottsdale requires an annual city license for each property rented for less than 30 days. The license number must appear on every listing or ad, including listings on sites such as Airbnb and VRBO. The occupancy limit and the restrictions on non-residential uses, such as large parties and weddings, must appear too.
