How to choose the best SEO agency in Chicago?

To become the best in your niche, it is essential to cooperate with the best. To achieve amazing results in terms of SEO you should entrust your website optimization to real professionals. Here is a list of aspects that you should consider while choosing an SEO firm in Chicago to partner with:

  • Years of experience;
  • Feedback from customers and employees;
  • Case studies;
  • Recognitions and awards;
  • Clientele;
  • Customer service;
  • The scope of provided services;
  • Team size;
  • Corporate culture;
  • Pricing model, etc.

You should be scrupulous about a selection of an SEO partner. Whenever you find a reliable SEO company, consider it to be half the battle.

How much do SEO services of Chicago-based companies cost?

The question about the price of SEO services is the first to come to business owners’ minds whenever the necessity of SEO is understood.

In essence, there are no accurate and fixed SEO rates. In Chicago, one expects to pay from USD 1000 to USD 3000 monthly for SEO and about USD 800 for an SEO audit.

The cost of SEO services significantly varies for each business and from agency to agency. Mostly it depends on the following aspects:

  1. Your business goals;
  2. The scale of an SEO campaign (local, regional, national, international);
  3. The scope of provided services (on-page SEO, off-page SEO, technical SEO);
  4. Competition environment;
  5. The current state of affairs, etc.

While you are free to take your pick, we strongly recommend you not to stick with an SEO company that is below the industry standard. An improper SEO strategy can dramatically hurt your business in the long run! It is better to pay more but obtain SEO services that will provide you with a high ROI and help your business to prosper.
