Why the map matters
The top three map results get the calls
We're a Chicago SEO agency that works remotely, running local SEO, search engine optimization and search engine marketing for Chicago businesses. We also run Facebook ads for Chicago brands that sell to people, not just searches.
When someone nearby searches for what you do, Google shows a map with three businesses before anything else. Being one of them is usually the cheapest source of local customers you'll ever have.

Know the market
How we approach SEO across Chicagoland
Each part of the city and suburbs has its own buyers. Your SEO should reflect the ones you serve.
The Loop and River North
Law firms, consultants, clinics and restaurants. High-value searches in a small area, where reviews and expertise decide a lot.
Lincoln Park, Lakeview and the North Side
Healthcare, fitness, salons and family businesses. Neighbourhood relevance and an active Google profile win.
Wicker Park, Logan Square and the West Side
Independent shops, restaurants and creative businesses. Instagram plus local SEO is a strong mix.
South Side and Hyde Park
Healthcare, education and family businesses that are often under-served online, which makes ranking easier.
Evanston, Oak Park and the inner suburbs
Professional services and home services with loyal local customers.
Naperville, Schaumburg and the outer suburbs
Contractors, healthcare and retail covering big areas. Town pages and map rankings bring the calls.
