While every SEO campaign is personalized to your specific needs and goals, we have cultivated an extensive list of proven tactics to maximize your search engine exposure and produce results.
SEO Services & Strategy for Chicago-Based Businesses
Our Chicago SEO experts will develop and execute a comprehensive SEO strategy that not only builds your short-term organic visibility, but continuously builds long-term organic growth. To ensure we are optimizing your website holistically, we create data-driven SEO strategies centered on three pillars:
- Technical SEO
- Offsite SEO
- Content
Each one of these pillars includes a volume of work and resources to optimize, so we create a comprehensive, prioritized roadmap that outlines strategy implementation from soup to nuts. This roadmap then translates directly to our project management tools so tasks are assigned and completed according to priority and milestones.

Technical SEO Services
But with any SEO strategy, you need to make sure the technical foundation of your website is sound. Our team of SEO experts, which includes a Moz Oracle, focus on a number of technical SEO best practices such as:
- Increasing site speed
- Eliminating broken pages
- Establishing a robust internal linking structure
- Create and update your XML sitemap
- Secure your website
- Ensure title and meta tags are optimized
- Optimize your site for mobile-friendliness
Content For SEO
While you need a website that is functional, fast, and fluid, you also need amazing, engaging content that speaks to your users. This content should not only inspire users to take action on your website, but should also convince search engines to drive traffic to your website.
That being said, content can be a tricky beast. There are a number of issues that could pop up with the content you create including:
- URLs changing
- Duplicate content
- Spammy comments
- Bad backlinks
- Broken internal links
- Keyword stuffing
Our SEO experts look for these issues and work with your content and web development teams to get them fixed and optimized, improving the structure of your content and driving organic visibility.
Off-Page SEO
When most folks think SEO, they think technical changes to a website. But if you’re not looking at your off page SEO, you’re not capitalizing on the full volume of organic opportunity available. And you certainly aren’t competing with your competitors.
Our Chicago SEO experts make sure your business is optimized from an off-page SEO perspective by conducting thorough SEO audits, continuously monitoring and strengthening your backlink profile, optimizing your local SEO efforts, and building branded mentions on relevant and authoritative websites.
Our off-page SEO services include:
- Link building
- Link reclamation
- Local SEO services
- Brand mentions
We've been with Marcel Digital for over 14 years and they have helped us grow our organic traffic by leaps and bounds. This year our organic traffic was up by over 19% and continues to grow. I would highly recommend them as SEO strategists and Google Analytics consultants.
Michael Vedders / Director of Marketing / Bethel University
Marcel Digital is simply the best Digital Marketing agency. We hired them years ago, and I can't say enough amazing things about their dedication to the field, to my team, and their phenomenal leadership team. Top-notch professionals all around.
Kim Rafalowitz / Dir. of Global Marketing / Worldpoint
I went with Marcel Digital over a larger - and much higher priced - competitor and it's one of the best decisions I've made. Marcel Digital are lovely people to deal with, extremely knowledgeable and approachable and willing to take the time to examine possible solutions that differ from how they would normally proceed. I value the partnership with their company and am planning on having our company be a client of theirs for years to come. Can't recommend them enough.
Michael Duquet / Director, Web Strategy / Absolute Software
Having a partnership with Marcel Digital has been a lifesaver for our business. We could not be happier with their work ethic, attention to detail, and superior expertise. I highly recommend them if you are looking for a talented, and trustworthy partner!
Diane Locher / Director of Sales and Marketing / Precision Medical
We have been using Marcel Digital for the past few years. We attribute our growth to the staff at Marcel and have embraced them as part of our company. Their insight and attention to detail have been indispensable. They take a personal approach to our products and processes and see our success as their own. We highly recommend Marcel!
