SEO agencies in Illinois

7 of the 8 SEO agencies in Illinois on this page publish an hourly band on Clutch. The most common is $100 to $149 an hour, which 3 firms list. 7 publish a minimum project; $1,000+ is the most common, and 4 will start under $5,000. A quote well outside the common band should come with a reason: senior-only staffing on the high side, junior-heavy or offshore delivery on the low side.

7 of the 8 carry a public rating (3 on Google, median 5 of 5, 7 on Clutch), 218 reviews between them. 2 publish case studies on their own sites. Start with the rated firms, read the reviews that describe the work you need, and ask every finalist for two references in your industry and a sample report from a current engagement. The 1 without a rating are not worse; they are unverified, so weight their claims accordingly.

Across the 7 firms with a published services list, the most-listed services are search engine optimization (5), pay per click (4), content marketing (3), email marketing (3), technical seo (3), social media marketing (2). Each profile carries the full list as the firm publishes it on Google or Clutch.

The median founding year is 2016, 3 are small shops of 2 to 9, 3 run teams of 10 to 249, 1 are 250 or larger. Team size changes who does the work: at a small shop you get the founder, at a large one you get an account team. Ask who runs the account day to day before you sign.

Only for in-person work. Nearly every firm on this page sells nationally and runs remote or hybrid teams, so filter by state when you need someone in the room and ignore it otherwise. The Wall lists where each firm is headquartered, not where it will work.
