Our market

SEO services built for the Chicago market.

Chicago is dense, competitive, and split into dozens of neighborhoods and suburbs that each search differently. A generic service list does not win here.

Every service below is run against that reality, from the map pack in Orland Park to catalog SEO for a brand shipping out of Fulton Market.

Why one team

Our SEO services run as one system.

Most agencies split SEO, AI search, and web across separate vendors who never talk. We engineer them together, so every page you build earns rankings in Google and gets cited in AI answers at the same time.

Who we help

SEO services shaped to your industry.

Buyers in every field search differently, and so do the AI systems answering them. We build the right intent map and proof for your market.

Choosing

How to choose the right SEO service.

Most businesses need two or three of these, not all eleven. This is how we work out where to start.

Start

Start with what is broken

  • A slow or unindexed site needs technical SEO first
  • Fix it through technical SEO
  • No point ranking content on a site Google cannot read
  • Usually the fastest visible win
Local

If customers come from nearby

  • Map pack and near me searches drive the revenue
  • Start with local SEO and Google Business Profile
  • A page for every suburb you actually serve
  • Highest conversion rate of any SEO work
Reach

If you sell beyond your city

  • Rankings depend on content depth, not proximity
  • Start with content strategy and core SEO
  • Topical authority takes longer but travels further
  • Where e-commerce and B2B usually begin
AI

If buyers research with AI

  • Impressions climbing while clicks fall
  • Add AI SEO, AEO, and GEO
  • Being named matters more than being linked
  • Increasingly the earliest touch in the journey

What every SEO service engagement includes.

The service mix changes. These four things do not, regardless of which package you are on.

Talk to a strategist
How much do Chicago SEO services cost?
Pricing is published up front. Essential SEO starts at $399 per month, Growth SEO is $699 per month, National SEO starts at $999 per month, and the intensive SEO Sprint is $1,499 per month. Websites start at $499 one time. The right fit depends on whether you already have a website and how competitive your Chicago market is.
What is the SEO Sprint?
The SEO Sprint is a one time, 30 day intensive for businesses that already have a website. In one month we optimize the site, set up and optimize your Google Business Profile, handle AI optimization, and build or fix the 30 to 40 most critical pages, all aimed at lifting your local rankings and map pack position.
I am a brand new business with no website. Where do I start?
Start with a Starter Website from $499 one time and add Essential SEO from $399 per month. The site launches fully optimized with SEO working from day one, the fastest way for a new Chicago business to get online, get found, and start getting calls.
Should I choose the one time Sprint or a monthly retainer?
The Sprint fixes everything fast and is the ideal way to start. Our monthly SEO packages keep adding content, keywords, and authority so your rankings compound over time. Many clients run the Sprint first, then continue on a retainer.
What is the difference between Local SEO and National SEO?
Local SEO at $399 per month focuses on the map pack, near me searches, and the Chicago neighborhoods and suburbs around your business. National SEO from $499 per month targets broader, non geographic keywords and builds the authority needed to compete across states or the whole country.
