Work with Chicago’s Top SEO Agency

Did you know that nearly half of all marketers report that organic search brings the highest return of any marketing channel?

Furthermore, 89% of US consumers research products using a search engine before making a purchase. And yet, 91% of content on the internet gets zero organic traffic. At Digital Authority Partners, we have a history of delivering better search rankings, higher organic traffic, and revenue-driving results to our clients.

DAP is an award-winning Chicago digital agency with decades of experience helping Chicago businesses improve their SEO tactics and, more importantly, results. We’ve helped a number of businesses ascend to the top spot on Google search results, and are proud to offer a full suite of proven SEO services.

We help you rank organically for buy-oriented keywords
that will increase traffic, leads and sales.

Website Load Time and Performance

When ranking websites, search engines place high importance on a website’s performance and page speed. We first perform an end-to-end technical audit of your site, identifying where we can improve architecture, code quality, and render time. Then, our developers ensure that your site provides a better experience for the end user and ranks higher on search engines.

Schema Markup

Schema markup allows search engines to not only read your content, but to understand it more clearly and display it more comprehensively for end users. This allows your site to provide more relevant information, and rank better for target keywords. We do a holistic review of your content, identifying the information that would help drive targeted business to your domain, and then implementing technically correct markup on your website.

Page Titles and Meta Descriptions

You know what content is important on your site — but does Google? Titles and meta descriptions give you the opportunity to define what text search engines show to users. At DAP, we’ve helped a number of clients optimize this content to attract more unique visitors to their websites.

Product and Service Pages

Building a high performing product or service page is not just about making it look pretty. From an SEO perspective, you need to ensure that your page ranks for key terms that both 1) accurately reflect your product or service and 2) align with what your potential customers are actively searching for. We conduct an end-to-end review of what keywords will most effectively drive business to your company, and help you write optimized content that will hook both search engines and real people.

Mobile Page Improvement

In today’s market it’s essential to optimize your business for mobile, both from a search and user experience perspective. In fact, Google boosts the rankings of pages that have mobile responsive design. Whether you’re looking to build a new page or redesign an existing one, our Chicago SEO services can help you build a mobile experience that brings measurable results.

Conversion Optimization

So your Chicago SEO efforts successfully bring users to your website. That’s great, but your job doesn’t end there! We help you design your website so users are most likely to convert — that is, to become leads or customers for your business. We help you look into user behavior and other data, build a plan for site optimization, and work with our development team to turn your ideas into reality.

Local Backlink Research

Backlinks play a significant role in building a robust presence on search engine rankings. We conduct in-depth research to identify complementary online platforms for you to partner with. Targeting local businesses has the advantage of an improved search profile for your website, as well as increasing your business’ visibility in your area.

Read more
Niche Industry Research

The most valuable backlinks come from websites in your niche. Google takes into account whether your backlinks are from similar companies in your industry, or are just a result of untargeted outreach. We help you target outlets that help Google see the value of your web presence — and that drive similar traffic to being potential customers or clients.

Magazines and Publications

Online magazines and publications are a great way to get your business recognized. Local, statewide, and national magazines provide good quality backlinks, boost your search rankings, and show people that you mean business. At DAP, our Chicago SEO experts help you get on publications’ radar, and connect you with our partner magazines.

Google Analytics

Optimizing your site is so more than ranking for keywords and tailoring copy (although those are definitely important!). We help you correctly set up Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager to gain insights into your visitors’ behavior, and make data-driven decisions to win more business.

Read more
SEO Reporting

As a top Chicago SEO Agency, we place importance on measurable results. You receive custom progress reports on a monthly basis, showing you what keywords your business is ranking for, how much you’ve improved by, and where you have scope for improvement. Ranking for a specific keyword often takes 6-8 months, but we keep you updated on progress, constantly.

Read more
Visual User Research

Data represents one side of the coin in optimizing a site. The other is qualitative insights. We use visual tracking software that lets you see exactly how visitors are interacting with your site layout. We can help you uncover insights about what works, what doesn’t, and how to engage your users better.

Helping Chicago Businesses Rank for
Mission-Critical Keywords Since 2016

At Digital Authority Partners, we believe that healthcare represents a significant opportunity for digital transformation. The healthcare industry has traditionally been slow to adopt technological changes, and that’s where we come in. Our team has a combined experience of over 50 years helping Fortune 500 healthcare companies rank on search engines, attract more traffic, and get more business.

Search engine optimization is particularly valuable in industries like healthcare, in which customers are increasingly turning to the internet to look for solutions. In fact, 77% of patients use online search prior to booking an appointment with a doctor, and 5% of ALL searches on Google are healthcare-related. 

As a top Chicago SEO Agency, we have experience working with both small and enterprise-scale healthcare companies. We know that different businesses need different approaches, and our experienced team of Chicago SEO experts have navigated working with a variety of stakeholders.

We’ve worked with a number of healthcare businesses to revamp their digital presence, implement analytics, and boost their search rankings and web traffic. We are the Chicago SEO Agency of choice for a number of healthcare payer and provider companies, including a number of household names.

As a financial service business, one of the key challenges you will face is to succinctly communicate your value proposition to potential clients and customers. This is tricky when you’re working on a ‘blockchain-based cryptocurrency platform’ or a new ‘algorithmic trading strategy’. That’s where a Chicago SEO Agency can help you. 

At Digital Authority Partners, we work to create a strategy that helps your financial service or fintech business gain visibility and establish authority. This has a number of advantages. 

First, your business will rank highly for those looking for your services. Our team of Chicago SEO experts will conduct in-depth keyword research to find terms that your potential clients are looking for. We then create content, get you backlinks, and build your profile so when they’re looking for services similar to yours, they find your business — first.

Second, we’ll work with you to establish a coherent content strategy so you can position your business as a financial industry leader. This means that when people look for content related to your business, they find you. Then, we’ll help you convert these visitors into leads, and eventually customers or clients. 

As a premier Chicago SEO Agency, we’ve worked with some of the leading financial companies in the city. Join them and work with us!

Digital Authority Partners prides itself on being a top Chicago SEO Agency that creates value for society — and working with education institutions is one of our favorite ways of doing so. Search engine optimization is remarkably important for educational institutions, whether you’re a small non-profit or a more orthodox institution like a university. In fact, 67% of people looking for information about higher education institutions start with search engines — while 55% of these internet searchers navigate to social media profiles to do in-depth research. 

At DAP, we work to make your education business rank so your clients, customers, or the next generation of students are able to see you as an industry leader. We conduct a full scale technical audit of your website, create relevant and keyword-specific content for you, and collaborate closely with your team to plan out a strategy that is tailored to your business, your goals, and your success. 

Working in the education industry often involves working with a number of stakeholders and departments to get things done. As Chicago’s favorite SEO Agency, we know how to be nimble as well as navigate the red tape of a larger organization. 

Work with us, and join some of the country’s leading universities and non-profits in building a stronger digital presence.

Government websites often have significant opportunities to improve the ways in which they reach and serve the public. As a top Chicago SEO Agency, we’ve worked with a number of state agencies to improve their search rankings while providing citizens with seamless, user-friendly experiences.

SEO is actually an incredibly valuable tool for government agencies and organizations. Ranking on the top of search results is extremely valuable for the government, as citizens often do not know about specific government websites and the services they provide. Instead, they search for queries like ‘paying parking ticket online’ and ‘Illinois tax forms’ — two examples of local SEO that we can help your website rank for.

We conduct a holistic audit of your government website, and identify the best way to improve your search rankings and organic traffic. At the end of the day, your goal is to provide the best experience for the citizens you benefit — and as your Chicago SEO Agency, we make sure that’s our goal too.

At DAP, we’ve worked with a number of government agencies to refine their processes, help them rank on search engines, and build ADA-compliant solutions. We understand the red tape and processes associated with working with government institutions, and our team is able to deliver results regardless of the obstacle.

In a sector that is so beneficial to citizens across the country (and the globe), it’s extremely important to choose a Chicago SEO Agency with years of experience and a proven track record. At DAP, we can promise you that.

Ecommerce is perhaps the industry in which the value of SEO and conversion rate optimization is most apparent. Fortunately, our team of Chicago SEO experts has decades of experience working with Fortune 500 Ecommerce companies to optimize their site experiences, leading to millions of dollars in sales.

At DAP, we help Ecommerce companies improve at every step of the customer acquisition funnel. Our on-page and local SEO efforts mean that your site will attract more visitors. Our user experience design and custom, conversion-driven copy then means that the maximum number of visitors will be interested in making a purchase. 

This process begins with a full-scale SEO audit for your Ecommerce site. Our team of Chicago SEO experts combs through your site to identify whether it has been technically optimized and targeted to match your visitors’ interests. We’ll also create a content strategy so you can be at the very top of search results.

Finally, we’ll optimize your site to maximize conversions. We’ll work with you to define your site’s value proposition, and then iterate on your design and user experience to get more people to make purchases, meaning more success for your business. 

Working with DAP in Ecommerce means working in an industry we’ve dealt with many times before — and know how to navigate.

For manufacturing companies, ranking highly in search results can be the difference between winning a long-term, lucrative contract and having falling short of your financial projections. As a leading Chicago SEO Agency, we recognize that each company in each industry requires its own unique prioritization when it comes to search engine optimization. That’s why we begin each client relationship with a full-scale audit. We find out how your web properties are performing, where performance can improve, and then create an action plan.

For manufacturing businesses, ranking on search is usually implemented with the aim of winning contracts. We conduct keyword research for your business: we take a deep dive into what your potential customers are searching for, how many people are searching for a given keyword, and how difficult it is to get you on the top of search for it. For example, our research could show that ‘car part manufacturers’ is a valuable keyword you can rank highly for without significant investment.

We then work with you to get you on the top of search results for those keywords — meaning that potential customers see your business as an authority, and visit your site. This means a better reputation and more business. 

As a top Chicago SEO Agency, we’re well-placed to examine your manufacturing business and come up with an effective strategy to bring you success.

Did you know that 96% of people seeking legal action utilize a search engine? And that 74% of consumers visit a law firm’s website before paying for services? This means that as a legal entity, your web presence has to be optimized if you’re to beat out your competition. 

This may seem like a lot of information — but it also points to an enormous opportunity. Refining your content and SEO strategy can lead to very big wins in the legal industry. To do this, you need to make sure to work with Chicago SEO experts.

As your local Chicago SEO Agency, Digital Authority Partners knows what it takes to drive customers seeking legal assistance to your practice. Furthermore, we know how to optimize your site — both desktop and mobile versions — to position you as the legal authority in your area. 

We’ll position your business so you rank highly on local search results. This means that when someone searches for a term like “family law attorney Chicago”, they’ll see your business right at the top of search results, not your competitors. 

In working with us, you build a long-term, focused strategy to capitalize on the internet as a marketing medium. You work with our Chicago SEO experts, and you will land more clients. It’s really that simple.

The professional services industry is among the most competitive out there. Whether you’re in management, technology, or a Chicago SEO Agency like us, there are probably a ton of competitors who you’re trying to differentiate yourself from. Oftentimes, there are a ton of competitors even in your locality. 

 

That, in addition to the fact that SEO is the best online lead generation practice, means that you need to partner with a Chicago SEO Agency if you’re to succeed in the area. That’s where we come in. 

 

Being a business-to-business outfit ourselves, we know what works, what doesn’t, and what’s absolutely worth your time in the world of getting leads. We’ve helped our clients rank highly in search engines for relevant terms. For example, a technology consulting firm should probably look to rank for terms such as ‘business IT’, and ‘data management’.

Furthermore, we work to ensure that your local SEO profile is completely optimized, and that people nearby searching for your services see you as the best provider. We optimize your site to rank highly for local searches, revamp of your social profiles, and leverage search tools such as Google My Business so your online presence is the best it can be. 

Work with a great B2B Chicago SEO Agency to get great results for your B2B Professional Services company.

More technical disciplines like biotechnology require most people working with companies to be technically savvy. As a top Chicago SEO Agency, we’re proud that our team members have experience working with cutting edge technology.

SEO can play a significant role in the success of a more technically-oriented company. Surprisingly, a number of science and technology businesses that we work with fail to look at the setup of one of their most important assets: their website. 

In biotechnology, searches relevant to your business are less ‘mainstream’ and more targeted — ‘preventative medicine development’ is much more niche than, say, ‘printed sweaters’. This means that each searcher is more likely to have intent that makes them a potential client for your business — and is the reason search engine optimization is critically important.

As a top Chicago SEO Agency, we start by conducting a full website audit for your business. We identify what biotechnology search terms you should rank for — i.e., the terms that can draw clients or customers to your business, and make financial sense to pursue. We then work with you to create a coherent strategy to get you to rank for those terms, and establish yourself as an authority in the space.

DAP is a leading Chicago SEO Agency. Let us handle your search rankings so you can focus on building great BioTech products.

Laser-focused on Your Chicago SEO Web Experience

Today, local SEO is incredibly powerful. As a Chicago business, you want to target people in the city searching for your business. These represent a large number of searches, as well as being high intent and buy oriented. The core strategy for you will be to attract web visitors who search for Chicago businesses — for example, daycares in Chicago — and get them to convert to customers.

At DAP, we help you design the perfect local SEO page to do exactly that. We’ll build you a custom page with more than 2000 words of copy, that is great at attracting potential customers in the area. Looking for an example? Check out the page you’re reading!

Brand Mentions and Backlinks

Backlinks are the foundation of a successful SEO strategy. The quantity and quality of backlinks your web presence receives is a big determinant of how high you can rank on search results.

At DAP, we are experienced in targeted backlink outreach. We ensure that your website receives backlinks from well-reputed sites. Further, client businesses benefit from DAP’s partnerships with a number of well-known and high-authority blogs and publications.
