IDEALalter

Based in Park Forest, Illinois, near Chicago, IDEALalter is a small digital marketing agency launched in 2015 in South Chicagoland. It works with small and medium-sized businesses, having found particular focus in the health sector—home health, home care, assisted living, physicians' offices, hospice—and in the service industry, including pest control, HVAC, sliding glass door companies, towing, and auto repair. The agency describes itself as niching down into these two fields to build a deeper skillset for its clients rather than serving businesses broadly across all industries. The agency's work began with Google Ads, becoming Google Ads certified in 2015 and a Google Ads Partner in 2017, before adding an SEO program that same year after a period of mentoring and study. Its current service list covers SEO, PPC, Local SEO, Content Marketing, Website design and build, and consulting, alongside branding, public relations, social media marketing, and UX/UI design. IDEALalter also offers hosting. For client management, it provides monthly reporting and quarterly meetings, with stated emphasis on transparency—giving clients access to campaign activity and tracking of the work performed on their behalf. The team is described as small, working directly with clients across the health and service niches it has chosen to specialize in.
