Digital Marketing in Chicago That Delivers Results

Let THAT Agency Elevate Your Online Presence from Average to Amazing

THAT Agency helps Chicago businesses rise above the competition and own the digital space! From SEO to social media, we’ve got your strategy covered from every angle. Our expertise spans search engine optimization (SEO), pay-per-click (PPC) advertising, social media management, content marketing, email campaigns, web design, and more. Explore our digital marketing services below and discover how we can take your online success to the next level!

Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

Build long-term organic visibility that keeps growing. SEO drives the highest-ROI organic traffic in marketing and is now the foundation of AI search visibility — ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews all pull from search-indexed content. We handle the technical, on-page, content, and link work that earns rankings and survives algorithm updates.

Goal:Build search visibility that keeps paying off year after year, across Google and AI search engines.

Pay-Per-Click (PPC) Advertising

Drive immediate qualified traffic with paid spend tied to revenue math. We manage paid across Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, Meta, and LinkedIn — and we report on what closed, not just what got clicked. Every campaign is built against a cost-per-acquisition target, not a click-through rate.

Goal:Get more revenue out of every ad dollar than the campaign before it.

Social Media Marketing

Build audiences your business can actually convert — through platform-native content, paid social integrated with organic, and analytics tied to business outcomes rather than vanity metrics. We treat each platform as its own creative discipline, not a copy-paste channel.

Goal:Build social presence that drives real business outcomes, leads, pipeline, ecommerce revenue, customer LTV.

Content Marketing

Build the content system that fuels SEO, paid landing pages, email, social, and AI search visibility. We create content engines, not content libraries — pillar pages, topic clusters, blog posts, service pages, and FAQ content structured to rank on Google and get cited by AI platforms.

Goal:Build content that ranks on Google, gets cited by AI engines, and converts the readers it earns.

Email Marketing

Goal:Turn email into a measurable revenue channel, and protect the deliverability that makes it work.

Web Design & Development

Build the website every other channel feeds into. Fast, accessible, conversion-optimized, and written to rank in Google and AI search from day one.
