How we help you rank in Google
Google Business Profile Optimization
With your Google Business Profile being one of the most important local ranking factors, it’s important to set it up to be found by the right people. A successfully optimized profile will impact your Google Business Profile, personalization, and user behavior factors. For Illinois businesses, we’ll set this up the right way. This way, when tourists are looking for things to do in Chicago, or natives are searching for new businesses to support, you’re front and center, easy to get ahold of, and most importantly, easy to find. Once it’s set up, we’ll push it further by building local citations.
Website Optimization
If you want to show up in the local search results outside of the map listings, website optimization is a must. A website that’s built for SEO will impact any personalization based on the searcher’s Illinois-focused intent, website factors, and user behavior factors that Google uses to rank pages. This is why it’s important to make sure you have a website that makes Google’s users happy, which is what we specialize in.
Review Outreach and Management
Reviews are a huge driver of conversions for small businesses, but they also help with SEO. Reviews can also contain phrases that help you rank for more keywords in Google. We accomplish this with carefully crafted email and text message templates that are sent to your customers. Our service includes up to 100 messages per day.
Illinois link building agency services
Nobody does local link building. That's why you should.
Backlinks are one of the most important ranking factors.
With our link building services, we build custom outreach strategies for Illinois-based businesses designed to get backlinks from local publications like Daily Herald, Chicago Reader, and The Golden Girl with white-hat, natural, PR-style outreach.
These local backlinks will improve Google rankings locally because Google will see these links as signs that your local community is vouching for you.
Link building is the hardest part of local SEO because there aren’t many reasons a website would typically link to a small business. As a result, many businesses push link building aside or simply buy backlinks, which is considered a black-hat SEO tactic and is against Google’s guidelines.
If you want to run an Illinois-focused link building campaign for your business to get natural, white-hat backlinks from real, local websites, then let’s talk!
Why Us?
We're Research Savvy
Illinois has something for everyone. With major sports leagues teams headquartered in Chicago, a rich musical history, and a diverse array of art and history museums, this state promises tourists and natives alike enriching experiences. By bringing on people who are subject matter experts to help us, or leveraging our data scraping tools to conduct market research in specific Illinois markets, we can help small businesses become a part of this enriching experience for visitors and residents of Illinois.
We're Agile
Small businesses need to be able to make quick decisions. Our SEO systems are built to be changed each month so that new ideas can be executed at small-company speeds.
We Leverage Experts
If you’re going to have content on your website, it needs to speak the language of your audience. That’s why when we write website content for you, we pair it with a subject matter expert that understands the pain points that your customers are facing.
We Don't Buy Backlinks
So many of our competitors haven’t figured out link building, so they just buy them and mark up the price when they sell the link to you. This is against Google’s guidelines, and we don’t do that. We conduct real, PR-style outreach on your behalf to get you backlinks and earned media placements from real publications.
We're Data-Driven
That’s how we know three U.S. presidents have been elected while residing in Illinois: Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, and Barack Obama. It’s how we know the Chicago Cubs of the National League had the longest championship drought in all of the major American sports. Our deep geography-focused research helps us reveal story opportunities in your area that we can help your business align with for maximum PR coverage.

FAQ
Giving a cost estimate for an effective SEO campaign is impossible without speaking with you first, but you can see some of our standard packages that work for most businesses on our local SEO services page. These packages are usually stacked together to build something that fits the specific needs of the client, so be sure to reach out to get a detailed estimate!
It depends. Giving an answer about the results of an SEO campaign can involve building out complicated forecasting models, many of which are too complicated to bother with because the money could be better spent on just doing SEO. It simply depends on how much risk you want to take. Please fill out the form at the bottom of this page to speak to an account strategist about this for an answer that’s more specific to your business.
Hawaiian businesses aren’t exempt from the fact that 46% of all Google searches are looking for local information. Additionally, 75% of users never go beyond the first page of Google’s search results, meaning that if your small business’s site isn’t utilizing SEO, you’re missing out on 75% of the visibility you’d have otherwise. Illinois will always attract tourists and business people to the major metropolis of Chicago, and we can help small businesses serve these people by using SEO to direct them their way.
