Where the public evidence points
Digital Third Coast qualifies through a current Chicago address, an explicit 2007 start, 22 named current employees, a $5,000-$15,000 typical monthly SEO range and detailed cases with business and search outcomes. The comparable floor is therefore $5,000 rather than the directory's old unsupported $6,000 amount. The roster count excludes the open-position placeholder labeled 'You?'.
The current team roster supports a 20-50 capacity band and names the specialists responsible for organic search
Current Chicago service material publishes a comparable monthly investment range and direct-expert delivery model
Detailed cases connect local, content and technical SEO to revenue, forms, traffic and ranking growth

Questions for the sales call
- Confirm which named SEO, content, digital PR, outreach and analytics staff will work on the account and the expected senior-to-junior time mix.
- Request source-platform and revenue evidence for a comparable client, including attribution rules, exact baselines, dates and whether paid or PR work contributed.
- Confirm the scope at the $5,000 floor, initial one-year commitment, content and outreach quantities, implementation responsibility, renewal and asset ownership.
What this profile does not prove
- All outcome and retention claims are company-authored and not independently audited.
- The roster-based 20-50 band reflects 22 named employees and does not measure payroll status, allocation or spare capacity.
- The $5,000 amount is the low end of a typical range, not a guaranteed quote for every market or scope.
