Consultant versus agency
What you get when the consultant is also the operator
Most Chicago SEO agencies on page one are national firms with a Chicago landing page. The pitch comes from sales, the plan comes from a template, and the work comes from whoever is on the account that quarter. A consultant model is different: one person looks at your site, tells you what is wrong, and either fixes it or shows your team how.
That is how Intuico Digital has worked since 2020. AJ runs the audit and the strategy call, the plan is written for your site rather than copied from a package, and the pricing is public before you ever book a call.
- Free audit covering technical health, on-page structure, local signals, and the competitors that outrank you
- A written strategy with the fixes in priority order and the searches each page should win
- Implementation on a month-to-month plan, or an advisory plan your developer or marketer executes
- Monthly reporting from Search Console and GA4, not a dashboard of vanity scores
- White-hat only: no bought links, no doorway pages, nothing that gets a site flagged
The audit
What the free SEO audit covers
The audit is the same one we run on our own site. It takes a few days and ends in a strategy call where we walk through the findings in plain language.
On-page and content
Which pages target which searches, title and heading quality, thin or duplicate pages, and the gaps competitors fill that you do not.
Local search
Google Business Profile completeness, categories, reviews, name-address-phone consistency, and how the site supports the Maps pack.
Authority and links
Referring domains, toxic links worth disavowing, and realistic ways to earn links in your market without buying them.
Fit
Who hires an SEO consultant instead of an agency
Owners who have been burned by an agency that reported activity instead of results. Businesses with an in-house marketer or developer who needs a plan, not a vendor. Companies that want a second opinion on an existing SEO contract. And small businesses that want the person on the call to be the person doing the work.
If you mainly need Maps and “near me” visibility, the Chicago local SEO page is the narrower fit. If the website itself is the problem, Chicago web design is where to start, since no amount of consulting fixes a site that cannot rank.
Proof
Results from consulting engagements
Quotes come from client reviews on Google and Facebook, and results come from case studies the client approved. We do not invent local case studies.
“AJ & Justin are a pleasure to work with! They were a life line to us when we started out, flexible and communicative, but mostly their execution was amazing and always on time. They act as your right hand, make it their own and get things done!”

Chicago SEO consulting FAQ
These answers match the published plan terms. The written proposal controls the final scope.
What does a Chicago SEO consultant do that an agency does not?
You talk to the person doing the work. At Intuico Digital the strategy call, the audit, and the monthly plan come from co-founder AJ, not a sales rep who hands you to an account manager. The company is small by design: founded in Chicago in 2020, remote team, published pricing, month-to-month plans.
How does SEO consulting start?
With a free audit. We review your site, Search Console, Google Business Profile, and the competitors that outrank you, then walk through the findings on a strategy call. You leave with a written list of what to fix and in what order. Ongoing work starts only if you choose a monthly plan.
How much does a Chicago SEO consultant cost?
The audit and strategy call are free. Monthly plans start at $500, most clients spend $750 to $1,250, and every plan is month to month with prepay discounts at three and six months. We do not sell hourly consulting by itself; the plan includes the strategy and the execution.
Can you work with my in-house marketer or web developer?
Yes. Many consulting engagements are advisory: we produce the audit, the keyword and page plan, and the technical fix list, and your team implements. We can also do the implementation on sites we host or have access to. The written plan says who does what.
Do you only work with Chicago businesses?
No. Intuico Digital is based in the Chicago area and most consulting clients are local or suburban, but the work is remote and we have clients across the US. Local SEO advice is scoped to where your customers search.
What results have you produced?
California Gummy Bears grew organic traffic 258% in six months and took a top-three spot on a keyword Amazon also ranks for. Next Level QC went from about 65% to roughly 97% local search visibility in under three months after a rebuild and local SEO. Both case studies are public. No consultant can guarantee a specific ranking.
Is this white-hat SEO?
Yes, only. No bought links, no private blog networks, no doorway pages. We have watched sites get flagged for those shortcuts, and the recovery costs more than the shortcut ever saved.
