Areas of expertise:

  • Strategic website design: Leveraging decades of experience, we develop world-class, Google-ready websites with strategic purpose—achieving tangible, economic goals. Is your website a lead-generation engine? Does it provide valuable content that establishes your expertise and keeps people coming back? Is it delivering new business? It could be.
  • Search engine optimization (SEO): There's unlimited opportunity to connect with potential customers—people who are looking for you, but your website must be optimized and include a strategic, holistic content strategy. Dominating search results for the keywords that matter is not a mystery. We have it figured out and can help open all the right doors for you!

As a Google Ads Partner, we boast best-in-class paid search strategy, pro advisory services, and a team driven to impact the bottom line. Our strategy maximizes visibility, lowers cost-per-click, and provides endless analysis to inform decision making.
  • Social media management: Your business has a story to tell and a reputation to build. Our team provides the megaphone you’ve been looking for. Through creative visuals, compelling content, consistently valuable messaging, monitoring and analytics, you’ll generate leads, grow your following, and increase loyalty.
  • Video and studio solutions: Video enhances SEO, rockets social sharing, and impacts purchasing decisions. A whopping 92% of businesses say video marketing has a positive ROI. And you’ll be amazed at how our team can turn your common content into a branded "news show" that establishes your credibility and expertise. Share your goals and leave the scripting, studio, on-screen talent, and editing to us!

Success stories

Challenge

We wanted people in our service area to know that we’re available to ensure that they could see our products and use us. We had an old website, but it was terrible.

Solution

RivalMind has created a whole new website for us. We started with nothing, and they did everything from there. The website people see today is what they did. Initially, we went through what we wanted to showcase, what our company does, and what we wanted to highlight. Now, they’re doing SEO!

Result

We’re always going off about the metrics. We've experienced a 3X growth rate in ecommerce sales, moving products previously invisible on Google. When we started the project, they told me a bit more about how long people stay on the website. Now, people are staying longer and buying our product(s).

Challenge

A Chicagoland accounting firm wanted to improve its SEO and Google Ads performance.

Solution

RivalMind completed full SEO and Ads audits to understand where strategies fell short in previous years. A unique and cohesive strategy was developed focusing on critical business growth goals, which allowed SEO and PPC to benefit each other.

Result

In just six months, RivalMind's strategy had generated over $100,000 in new revenue. After 3 years of continuous work, RivalMind has generated millions of dollars in business contributing to sizeable company growth.

Challenge

The e-commerce retailer's website needed a complete overhaul to fix broken features and usability issues and a strategic approach to visibility and sales through Organic search.

Solution

RivalMind redeveloped the client's website in Shopify, optimizing its structure for SEO, and made several UX improvements. Additionally, the SEO team devised a strategy for earning top visibility across major phrases and categories within the niche.

Result

In 9 months, the client has earned over 200 new keyword rankings in the top 1-3 positions on Google, and over 3,000 new phrases overall. The client was not selling any product through organic search, and now 60% of their sales come from searchers online. ROAS to date is 257%
