Building What’s Next

At Blue Ox Websites & Marketing, we’ve spent over 10 years helping small businesses and nonprofits grow online. Based in Minnesota, our remote team is passionate about supporting local organizations.

We started as Cohlab Digital Marketing (2012–2025) and rebranded to better reflect our values: creativity, reliability, approachability, and community.

We build custom WordPress websites that look great, perform well, and include the essentials to market your business. When you’re ready, we offer full digital marketing—from SEO to social media. Clients stay with us for years because we grow with them.

Whether you’re a business or nonprofit, we’ll help you get found and connect with the people who need you.

Custom WordPress Website Design & Development

We offer real support from real people—available by phone, email, or text. Our Minnesota-based team builds custom WordPress websites that look great and rank well. We connect your site to tools like Google Analytics and handle hosting, updates, and domains—without hidden fees. It’s all part of our reliable service that grows with you.

Real Human Support

You can email, call, or text us for support—no robots involved. When you contact us, you always get a highly trained, full-time team member. We pride ourselves on responding to everyone within one business day or less.

Custom Website Design

We have in-house designers with dozens of unique website designs under their belts, ready to help make your brand stand out online. A great design can keep the user on your website longer, increasing the chances that they’ll love what you do.

Writing & SEO

Write the entire website yourself, or have us write it! Our on-staff writers can’t wait to interview you by phone or video call, handle keyword research, and make your website irresistible. We’re so proud of their work! Be sure to check out our portfolio further down the page.

What is SEO?

Full Access

Our websites offer full access. You receive an admin login and can host the website files with us or elsewhere. You’re in complete control—we’ll do all the dirty work.

What’s website hosting?

Connect To Google

We’ll connect you to Google Tag Manager (GTM), Google Analytics 4 (GA4), and Google Search Console (GSC)—tools that measure traffic, conversions, and overall performance. That information is power. With it, you can better understand how people find your brand, what search terms they use, and what pages they find interesting.

Aftercare & Retainer

Need a 360° solution? We’ll handle your website hosting, maintenance, and future updates 24/7/365. We’ll even facilitate the purchase of your domain. No kickbacks or secret fees, and you’ll have all the information up front.

Graphic Design

Our in-house designers have portfolios containing hundreds of logos, icons, branding guides, business cards, and more. They say the internet never forgets, but even there, we’ll make you unforgettable!

What’s a branding guide?

Local SEO

Do you ever wish people in your city or county could find you faster online? Our in-house writers will chat with you by phone or video call, do keyword research to pinpoint what your customers are searching for, and publish monthly content that boosts your visibility where it matters most.

Client Reviews

Reviews are a great way to convert new clients and a strong ranking signal for search engine optimization (SEO). People love to hear what other real customers have to say. Our software makes it easy to collect reviews and display them on your website!

Online Ads

Got a campaign or a special promotion coming up? We’ll run your ads on Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, or Instagram—even Google Local Services Ads (Google Guaranteed)—to put your business in front of the right people at the right time.

Dashboard & Rankings

Track all your online data in one place. Our Local Rank Tracking Dashboard shows where you stand in search results, while our Marketing Analytics Dashboard reveals how your overall marketing efforts are performing.
