Crooks
Crooks is a growing small city in northwestern Minnehaha County, South Dakota, a Sioux Falls bedroom community with a base of trades, retail, professional-services, and the small businesses serving a fast-growing suburb just north of the metro. Its growth and proximity to Sioux Falls anchor a local economy. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms — custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing — for Crooks' trades, retail, professional-services, and small businesses, and we serve them remote-first from York County, Pennsylvania — distance is no barrier, and we add on-site time when a project warrants the trip.
Do you work with businesses in Crooks, South Dakota?
Yes — remote-first from our York County, Pennsylvania base, and being a growing Sioux Falls suburb in northwestern Minnehaha County is no obstacle: nearly all of our work is done remotely, with on-site visits when a project warrants it. A Crooks client gets a named contact, a regular maintenance window, and direct access for urgent issues.
