Who Is Fanatically Digital
Fanatically Digital is a family-owned digital marketing agency in the Chicago area of northern Illinois. The agency started in 2013, bringing decades of online marketing experience to small to mid-sized companies. We work with companies nationwide and around Chicago, providing great digital marketing & SEO services and website support.
Some SEO Tools We Use
A strong SEO Program has to employ a range of tools for researching, auditing, and monitoring SERPS and organic search performance. Some tools are free, others are paid, but all are needed to do the job well. Here are some of the tools we use to support our clients’ SEO programs.
Google Search Console
Google Search Console (GSC) is an invaluable tool for site owners. With GSC, you have “Google’s view” of your site, including index pages, page issues, queries for which they appear, and associated metrics. For SEO, GSC is a cornerstone for our clients.
SEMRush
There are a handful of SEO tools out there that agencies rely upon. SEMRush is one of them. From competitive insights to Keyword research and tracking to on-page analysis and more, SEMRush is a core component in SEO management.
MOZ
As the originator of Google Page Rank emulation, MOZ provides insights into SEO performance, keyword tracking, and how to improve results. While there is overlap with other SEO tools, having MOZ can be beneficial in SEO program management.
Screaming Frog
Screaming Frog is perhaps the best tool for scanning websites to identify the full range of issues. It’s desktop software that provides an extensive array of technical and content issues to help optimize a site.
Google Analytics 4
Google Analytics 4 , the latest version from Google, provides the basis for assessing website traffic and the performance of SEO programs. Rankings are great, but the goal is to get actual website visitors and conversions. GA4 gives us insight into the success of an SEO program.
Looker Studio
From being free to being exceedingly versatile, Looker Studio is our go-to reporting tool. With it, we can combine and visualize information/data from virtually any source. We provide our clients with real-time data through access to their custom Looker Studio Reports.
We are constantly reviewing options for SEO tools. While we have found these core tools to serve almost all our clients’ needs, there are others we employ. Brightlocal is wonderful for local SEO, and we use it for some of our clients. Ahrefs is another SEO tool kit we will employ. Our goal is to provide the best SEO service to our clients, so we are constantly looking for the best tools to help us do that.

How We Do It
Our SEO Process
We provide every client with individualized SEO solutions and services based on their industry, goals, and current strengths and weaknesses.
Every SEO engagement begins with onboarding. During this time, we conduct keyword/phrase research and competitive research and have extensive conversations with our clients. As your SEO agency, we align with your goals and the way you need to manage your marketing to ensure we are a seamless part of your team.
Once we are all aligned, we employ the following SEO tactics to achieve results. Depending on your SEO needs, we may use all or just some of these.
On-Page Optimization
As your SEO agency, we’ll handle the keyword research to ensure the language of your landing pages reflects the language used by searchers, potential customers, and search engines.
Link Building
Search engines assume the more external links pointing to your website, the better it must be and therefore, the higher they’ll rank you. As part of our link building, we go out and find relevant, high-quality linking opportunities on your behalf.
Local SEO
Local SEO is crucial for brick-and-mortar businesses. A solid position on the Google Business Profile listings can instantly boost relevant leads and interested customers.
Detailed Reporting
“If it can be measured, it can be optimized.” Key to successful SEO services is an in-depth reporting scheme. We provide transparent, detailed reporting on the progress of our activity so you know exactly where things stand.
Content Writing
One of the best ways to reach new customers is through content creation. We familiarize ourselves with your field in order to produce quality content for your blog or other media posts.
Technical SEO
We’ll make sure your website is healthy underneath the hood. Site architecture, page speed, and usability are all important factors that help determine where your website appears on a search engine results page.

Why Our Chicago Clients Work With Us.
There are a lot of people in Chicago who are good at SEO. But that doesn’t always translate to a good SEO agency. A good agency comprises people and processes that can adapt SEO techniques to your company’s needs. Here’s what sets Fanatically Digital apart:
- We are able to discuss business needs beyond SEO. Performing some keyword research is one thing. But more important is the ability to understand your business and turn research insights into actions that fit within your broader marketing and growth strategies. With decades of experience in marketing & strategy, we can provide advice on matters beyond SEO.
- We provide resources to help you implement. We’re not consultants. We don’t simply provide recommendations and then leave you to figure out how to implement them. Whether it’s blog content, landing page copywriting, or server and coding work, we integrate with your team and operations to help you carry out the actions we recommend.
- We provide benchmarks. SEO is not a guarantee by any stretch. It’s important to set KPI benchmarks and targets that are relevant to your business objectives, as well as consistent reporting to ensure those targets are being reached. What those SEO targets are depends on your situation, but you need to have them to understand your progress.
If you’re looking for a Chicago SEO agency to take your digital marketing to the next level, connect with Fanatically Digital today!
Frequently Ask Questions
Am I locked into a long-term contract?
No. Our SEO agreements are month-to-month. We simply ask for a 30-day advance notice to stop SEO services.
Do your guarantee results?
We honestly wish we could. But, despite some of the hype you may see, no one can. We will show you the results we have achieved with our current clients, explain what we believe will be best for you, and ensure you have complete visibility.
How long does it take for SEO to work?
Usually, it will take 3 – 6 months to see improvement in organic traffic. But, this can vary depending on the current state of the website and the competitiveness of the category. In addition to core SEO strategies, we also work with our clients to improve website conversions. So, this can help improve the value of the traffic already coming to the site.
What kind of reporting do you have?
We customize our reporting for each client. As a base, we use Google Data Studio to pull together data from Google Analytics and Google Search Console. These reports are made available to our clients with real-time access. We also provide pdf versions of the reports as our clients request. Of course, we use keyword tracking tools and provide these to clients on a regular basis or as requested. We are available to our clients via phone, email, and slack as well as regular meetings that fit their schedules
How involved do I have to be in the SEO program?
That’s all up to you and the services we provide. Some of our clients are much more involved in their SEO programs, especially if it’s integrated with other elements of their marketing. With these kinds of clients, we may have weekly phone calls or more.
On the other hand, some clients are totally hands-off and are just happy to see leads come in. Wherever your business falls on that spectrum, we’re happy to accommodate.
