The platforms we work in every day
Chicago brings together finance in the Loop, manufacturing and food production, freight and logistics, and a large retail and restaurant scene. Many of its businesses sell to other businesses.
Manufacturers and distributors across Chicagoland sell on quotes, catalogues and repeat orders. Search and Microsoft Ads are built around product and part terms, and offline conversions show which leads became revenue.
With its rail, road and air links, Chicago has a deep logistics sector. Freight, warehousing and transport firms need Search and LinkedIn built on service and lane terms, judged on quotes that turn into contracts.
From the Magnificent Mile to the neighbourhoods, retailers and restaurants need customers who can actually visit. Local Search, Google Business Profile and Meta keep spend inside the areas you serve, with calls and bookings tracked.
You may know it as Google advertising, paid search or Facebook ads rather than PPC. For a Chicago business it means one thing: being in front of people at the moment they look for what you sell, and paying only when they click. Busy sectors in Chicago include finance, manufacturing, logistics, food.
Text ads at the top of Google for the words your customers type, from "near me" searches to exact product and service names.
Google ShoppingProduct listings with photo and price in Google Shopping and Performance Max, built on a clean Merchant Center feed.
Social media adsPaid social for Chicago brands: Meta and TikTok campaigns that find new customers and bring back people who visited your site.
Microsoft and Bing adsMicrosoft Ads, often cheaper per click, reaching desk-based and older buyers that Google alone misses.
Tracking and reportingConversion tracking, GA4 and call tracking set up properly, so you see sales and enquiries per ad, not just clicks.
Landing pages and websitesLanding pages and Shopify, WooCommerce or WordPress sites built for the traffic you pay for, hosted and looked after by us.
There are two parts to the cost of PPC in Chicago: what you pay the ad platforms for clicks, and what you pay us to run the account.
The money for clicks goes straight from your card to Google, Microsoft, Meta or TikTok, in USD. You set it, you can see every charge, and it stays in your accounts.
One fixed fee for running the account, agreed in writing once we understand your channels and goals. No percentage of spend, so we have no reason to push your budget up.
Competition for your search terms, your margins and the area you target. Busy sectors and city-centre postcodes cost more per click, which is why we start with the searches and areas that already sell.

No. We have no Chicago office and no staff in Illinois. We are a remote team, Serann Marketing being a trading name of Serann LLC in Wyoming, and we work with Chicago businesses over video calls, email and shared dashboards.
We work on UK hours, which overlap with the Chicago morning. Calls are booked for the start of your day, and routine account work is done before you are at your desk. Anything you send in the afternoon is picked up first thing the next UK morning.
Yes. Manufacturing and distribution sit in our B2B package. Search, Microsoft Ads and LinkedIn are built around what buyers type, quote requests are tracked through to orders, and that data goes back into bidding. A catering and heating parts supplier we run reached 14.12x ROAS in its best month.
Yes, where your customers search in those languages. Each language gets its own campaigns, keywords and landing pages, built from copy you approve. We report them separately, so you can see whether each one pays back before it gets more budget.
You do. Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, LinkedIn and GA4 stay in your company's name, and we work through access you can remove at any time. If we stop working together, the accounts, their history and every conversion setting stay exactly where they are.
Yes, mostly. PPC means pay per click: you pay when someone clicks your ad. Google Ads is the biggest PPC platform, but the same model runs on Microsoft Ads (Bing), Facebook and Instagram, TikTok and Amazon. For Chicago businesses we usually start with Google and add the others where they pay back.
Enough to buy a meaningful number of clicks on the searches that sell, then more as the numbers prove themselves. We look at your margins, average order or lead value and the competition for your terms before suggesting a budget, and the budget calculator on our site gives a first estimate.
Search ads can bring enquiries and sales within days of going live. The bigger gains come over the first two to three months, as tracking is fixed, wasted searches are cut and budget moves to what converts. You see every change and the effect in the monthly report.
