The brief
App Developers work in Tempe
Tempe sits in the middle of the East Valley tech corridor, with Arizona State University's Tempe campus feeding a steady stream of studios, contract shops and solo developers into the city and the blocks around Mill Avenue. That means the searches for app development work here come from a mix of sources: startups spun out of the university, small firms near the downtown core, and owner operators working from home offices across the 85281, 85282 and 85283 zips. Paid search on app development terms in the metro is carried mostly by larger Phoenix agencies bidding on broad keywords, which leaves the local, city named searches open for the smaller shops. The demand is there across the year, and it clusters around the people who need an app built or fixed and start by typing the trade and the city into a search bar.
