Platforms and tools we work across every day
Most SEO agencies are built for local service businesses that need one phone to ring. We built this one for the other half of the economy: companies with a catalog to rank and suppliers whose next order starts with a buyer's search.
That focus changes everything about the work, from how we optimize a thousand product pages at once to how we get a brand named inside an AI shopping answer. If you sell products or sell to businesses, you are exactly who we are for.
Search built for people who sell things.

Chicago is our address. The whole country is our market.
We are headquartered in Chicago and we know this market cold, but almost none of the work we do is limited to it. A manufacturer in Ohio, a distributor in Texas, a parts supplier in Arizona, and a DTC brand in California all compete in the same national search results. We build the visibility that reaches those buyers wherever they are searching from.
- National keyword and category coverage, not just city terms
- Programs built for catalogs, line cards, and spec-driven buyers
- Remote-first delivery with senior people on the account
- Local map pack work when you also need the metro
Specialists for brands that sell and supply.
From online stores to warehouses and factory floors.
Position is not a vanity metric when the term has buying intent.
Moving from page two to the top of page one changes the volume of qualified traffic a page receives. We target the terms where that shift turns into orders or quote requests, then track the climb.
Serious operators, not a content mill.
Most agencies treat a catalog like a blog. We treat it like inventory: structured, prioritized, and measured against revenue.
- Your buyers are not local. Parts buyers, procurement teams, and wholesale accounts search nationally. Your visibility should too.
- One team, every timezone. A senior team working US hours, reachable by phone, not a ticket queue.
- Catalog and B2B specialists. We work in product and supply search all day. Not restaurants, not law firms.
- Published pricing. You know what a program costs before you ever get on a call.
Local when you need it. National when you do not.
Seventeen service areas across Chicagoland, plus nationwide coverage.

Get named when a buyer asks an AI.
Buyers now ask assistants for a shortlist before they ever open a search results page. Being one of the sources those answers are built from is a different discipline than classic SEO, and almost nobody in product and B2B categories is doing it yet.
- Structured, quotable answers on every key page
- Consistent brand facts across your site and profiles
- Schema that matches what a reader actually sees
- Prompt testing across major assistants
Who we build this for.
Worth being honest about fit. These are the situations where this work reliably earns its keep, and if none of them sound like you, say so and we will tell you.
You sell physical products
Stores and brands whose revenue depends on catalog visibility.
You supply other businesses
Wholesale, distribution, and manufacturing with quote-driven pipelines.
You carry a deep catalog
Hundreds or thousands of SKUs that need to rank individually.
You compete with marketplaces
Resellers and platforms outranking you for your own products.
The searches that bring in buyers.
Bracketed terms stand in for your own products and categories. What matters is the shape of the demand, not these exact strings.
Product and category demand
How buyers search when they know roughly what they want.
- [category] supplier
- buy [product] online
- wholesale [product]
- [attribute] [category]
Sourcing and procurement demand
B2B phrasing that precedes a quote request.
- [product] distributor near me
- bulk [product] pricing
- [product] minimum order
- [category] manufacturer USA
Research and comparison demand
The shortlist stage across every industry we serve.
- best [category] for [use]
- [product] vs [product]
- [category] buying guide
- [brand] alternative
Who supplies bulk compostable packaging?
Search increasingly ends without a click.
AI Overviews and assistants answer directly and cite a few sources. Being one of those sources means writing answers a machine can lift cleanly and backing them with structure it can verify.
What you should expect.
We are not going to put invented numbers on this page. What follows is the kind of change a properly built program produces once it has had time to compound.
Category-level authority
Ranking across a whole product area rather than a few lucky terms.
Catalog visibility at depth
More SKUs indexed, eligible, and earning traffic.
Pipeline from search
Quote requests and orders traced back to specific pages.
Named in AI answers
Cited when buyers ask assistants for suppliers in your category.
How this differs from the usual approach.
Plenty of agencies sell something with the same name on the invoice. The difference shows up in what actually gets done each month, so here it is side by side.
Chicago based. Working in all fifty states.
We deliver remotely with senior people on every account, so a distributor in Texas gets the same team as a wholesaler in Bedford Park.
Each state above has its own page. Not listed? We work in all fifty, so just ask.
Transparent packages, published up front.
Because the businesses we work with respect a straight answer.
