Chris DeWilde founded the company and leads strategy on every account. You are not handed to a junior account manager after the sales call.
Mostly dental practices, medical practices, law firms, and medical aesthetics and wellness brands. We also work with select home service, trades and real estate businesses in the Chicago area.
No. Most of our clients are in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs because local search is what we do best. We take on clients in other markets when the fit is right.
No. If we run SEO for a practice in your market, we do not sign a second one chasing the same searches. You are paying us to win those rankings, not to split them.
Businesses shopping for the cheapest option, businesses that will not put real tracking in place, and anyone who wants a monthly activity report instead of results. We say that up front rather than six weeks in.
SEO, Google Ads and Meta Ads management, web design and landing pages, Google Business Profile management, CRM setup and marketing automation, lead and call tracking, and streaming audio advertising for the clients where that channel earns its budget.
No. We do not sell organic social posting. We run paid social through Meta Ads because it can be tied to leads and revenue. Daily posting to a business page usually cannot.
Yes, and a website build or reskin is included in every SEO plan at no extra charge. Most agencies bill that separately.
Ads buy visibility today and stop the moment you stop paying. SEO takes months and then compounds. Most of our clients run both, with ads carrying the lead volume while the rankings build.
Yes. Profile optimization, categories, services, automated posting and citation consistency are included in every plan. For most local businesses the map pack drives more calls than the website does.
Yes, and it is included rather than sold as an add-on. The same signals that rank you on Google are what the AI engines read: structured data, consistent business information everywhere you are listed, and content that answers the question directly.
Three plans, published on the site so you do not need a sales call to see a number. Wingspan is $2,500 a month, Blackwing is $4,000, and The Hunt is $6,500. All run on a six-month term.
We guarantee your ranking milestone in 90 days, and you will see leads and real improvement well before the six months are up. The full effect just takes that long. The pages, the authority and the tracking all compound, and the back half of the term is where that pays off.
No. No setup fee, and the audit before you sign is free.
Before the campaign starts we agree on a specific, measurable ranking milestone based on your services, locations and competition. If we have not hit it within the first 90 days, the remaining months of your term are free until we do. It is in writing on every plan.
Paid ads produce leads in the first week. SEO usually shows movement in 60 to 90 days and meaningful traffic by month four. Anyone promising page one in 30 days is selling you something.
Yes, all of it. The website, the domain, the Google Ads account, GA4, Search Console, the CRM and the call tracking are yours and stay yours if we part ways.
You get direct access to GA4, your ad accounts, your CRM and call tracking. No black-box dashboard and no filtered reporting. Every lead is tracked to the campaign that produced it.
Start with the free audit. We look at your current rankings, ad spend, website and lead flow, then tell you honestly what is worth fixing and what is not. If we are not the right fit we will say so.
