  I could not be happier with my logo and website design! Nicole was wonderful to work with. She was always prompt with responding to my emails. She took the little guidance I gave her on what I wanted and ran with it. She went above and beyond with integrating my software links into the website. Several friends, family and colleagues have commented on how well the website was put together.

  It has been a year since we chose Hometown (based on their great reviews) to build and market our new business, Exam Prep School of Illinois. It was a new venture for us and Nicole (the owner of Hometown), so I chose to delay any review until I was sure that I made the right choice. I can now say confidently and enthusiastically that I did make the right choice.

We are very particular with the way we want things done and she has responded every single time with positivity and immediate action to get our requests updated and completed.

The website she created for us is absolutely beautiful and in total accordance with our specifications. She keeps it updated perfectly and jumps on our requested changes very quickly. The marketing has been good with leads consistently. We’re thankful for both the website and the marketing!

Nicole really knows her stull and is willing and able to take on new challenges, like us. I strongly recommend Hometown Design Studio for your new business or whatever your needs are, she will take very good care of you! 5 Stars!

I don’t get how any of this works!

One day, you’re ranking well on Google. The phone is ringing. Your sales calendar is full. Your service team is booked.

Then suddenly it seems like something changed. You’re still delivering exceptional solutions, but the phone has been quiet and the emails have slowed.

What happened?

You’ve heard SEO could help, but it sounds like tedious technical work. Plenty of people say they can help, but how can you be sure when you’re not even sure what went wrong?

It shouldn’t be this complicated to get new customers.

Stop worrying where your next customer is coming from.

Reach the top of the local search results. Keep your schedule full with new customers. Achieve the goals that are in your sights.

Local SEO services are designed with your community in mind. Results are achieved through proven marketing tactics and diligently tending to each and every small detail that matters.

Proven strategies. Measurable results.

Keyword Research

Your website is ranking, but for what?

The goal of local SEO services isn’t just to get more visitors to your website. You need more paying customers after they’ve visited your site. We focus on discovering intent-based, relevant keywords that will directly impact on your sales.

Search Engine Optimization

Every small detail makes a real difference.

Once we know which keywords to target, the next step is to get those words into the right places on the right pages. There are no shortcuts here; we focus on your content, images, and background coding, leaving no boxes unchecked.

Reputation Management

Show how you care for your customers.

Online customer reviews can be tricky, especially knowing that everyone is watching to see how you respond. Use our reputation tools to make the job easier. Or, we can manage your online reputation for you.

Google My Business Optimization

This is how you will look on Google Maps & Search

Reaching customers in real time as they search means showing up at the top of local search rankings. Get more paying customers by improving your visibility in your local service area.

Local Citations and Links

Building real connections in your community.

Building relationships is just good business. Another reason these connections are important is that Google uses them to determine whether you are a genuine business with real people inside.

Doing nothing is no longer an option.

SEO sounds like expensive technical stuff that I don’t understand.

Have other people or companies made SEO out to be something secret? Investing in something you don’t understand seems like a bad idea.

Local SEO is science, not magic.

Our process is entirely transparent. You’ll have access to a dashboard to see what’s going on in real-time. We use industry-standard, proven tactics directly from Google. The only “magic” is diligence and experience.

Investing in local SEO means a bigger bottom line.

Given that your competitors are likely to be doing at least the minimum, doing nothing means falling further and further behind. Take control of your bottom line. Local SEO is an investment that gets you ahead of the competition, keeps the phone ringing, and pays actual dividends.

Outrank your competition. Get more paying customers.

Get discovered by new customers
Stand out from your competitors
Drive new business through customer satisfaction
Reach all of your service areas, not just one city
Boost calls or foot traffic to your business

Plus, it costs nothing but your time to reach out. We’ll take the time to learn about your goals and show you how we can get you more business.
