Agency FAQ’s
Lift Conversions is ready, willing, and able to revolutionize your marketing efforts.
What marketing solutions is your business searching for?
A website is often the first place a potential customer interacts with your business, and if it is confusing, slow, or hard to use people leave without contacting you. We build functional sites that clearly present what you offer and how to take the next step, which keeps more visitors from bouncing and increases inquiries.
Paid advertising means we place your business in front of people who are already searching or browsing for solutions you provide. Our team designs ads for platforms like Google and Bing so your business shows up in the moments people are most likely to buy or contact you.
Local SEO makes sure your business shows up when people nearby search for services like yours instead of showing someone across the country or not at all. Our team handles directory listings, content, and profile optimization so search platforms show your business first for relevant local queries. This increases foot traffic, calls, and local inquiries.
We structure campaigns so spending aligns with measurable business goals like leads, calls, and sales instead of just impressions or random traffic. We also report what you spent and what it brought back so you see real return.
Web optimization means we improve how your site ranks, how it looks in search listings, and how easily customers find answers to their questions. This includes writing content that speaks to what your customers are actually searching for, managing online profiles, and fixing listings so information is consistent everywhere.
Reputation management means we monitor and improve how your business appears across review sites and directories so prospective customers see accurate and positive information. Our processes keep your profiles aligned so people trust what they see.
Lift Conversions has worked with businesses across more than 40 industries and has Google Partner status and Bing accreditation, showing your campaigns are managed to professional standards. We focus on trust, transparency, and repeatable results rather than selling services you don’t need.
We track the actual actions that matter to your bottom line, such as phone calls, form submissions, and purchases, instead of just counting clicks. Our reporting shows exactly where your money went and what business outcomes it generated.
We emphasize transparency, clear communication, and no lengthy contracts, so you are not locked in to services that don’t perform. We explain what we do in plain language without industry jargon and focus every effort on outcomes that grow your revenue.
Lift Conversions helps your business reach more real customers online instead of just attracting traffic. Our team builds websites that look good and work well, manages advertising that targets people ready to act, and optimizes your visibility so customers can find you first.
What makes the right agency partner for your goals?
Not at all. This is really important to us. We don’t lock anyone into lengthy contracts. We believe that if we’re doing good work, you’ll want to stay with us because you’re seeing results, not because you’re trapped in a contract. We also offer flexible payment plans and custom packages.
Honestly? It’s mainly about how we treat you. A lot of agencies will make you schedule appointments weeks out just to ask a question, or they’ll disappear when you need help. We don’t do that. During business hours, our team is standing by to help you immediately; no waiting in a queue.
The marketing world is changing incredibly fast right now because of artificial intelligence. AI tools can help you understand your customers better, create content faster, automate repetitive tasks, and get better results from your marketing budget. We’ve invested in AI tools so you get the benefits without having to figure it all out yourself.
Being a Google Partner means Google has certified us as experts in their platforms. We’ve proven we know what we’re doing, we’re up-to-date with all their tools, and we manage client campaigns at a professional level. For you, it means you’re working with people who really know the ins and outs of Google Ads, Google Analytics, and other Google tools.
We’re really proud of this. A 92% referral rate means that 92 out of every 100 clients we work with are so happy that they recommend us to other business owners. We’ve maintained this for 10+ years. The 5.0 rating is perfect scores across review platforms over more than a decade. Basically, it means our clients are consistently satisfied with our work.
A consultation is just a friendly conversation with no pressure, no sales pitch. We’ll ask about your business, your goals, what’s working and what isn’t in your current marketing efforts (if you have any), and what you’re hoping to achieve. Then we’ll talk honestly about what services would actually help you and design a custom plan that fits your budget.
First, we’re transparent. We’ll show you exactly what we’re doing and explain the results in plain English. Second, we respond within 24 hours, not days or weeks. Third, no long contracts, so you’re not stuck if something isn’t working. And fourth, we actually care about your success because our business is built on referrals.
We work with all types of businesses. The common thread is they want to grow online but either don’t have the time, expertise, or team to handle digital marketing. Whether you’re starting from scratch with no website or you’ve been doing marketing that’s not delivering the results you need, we can help.
This is the most honest answer you’ll get: it depends on what services you need and where you’re starting from. Some things, like fixing technical website issues or setting up tracking, can show improvements within weeks. Other things, like ranking higher on Google organically (SEO), typically take 3-6 months to see significant movement.
We’re a digital marketing agency that helps businesses like yours get more customers and sales through online channels. Think of us as your complete marketing department. We handle everything from making sure people can find you on Google, to designing your website, to running online ads.
What insights and strategies will fuel your growth?
That’s exactly why we write these articles. Many of our blog posts are actionable guides that walk you through specific processes. For example, we have detailed articles like “7 Steps to Increase Your Online Business” that break down exactly what you need to do. We also provide lists of industry tools you can use yourself.
Please do. We make this content available because we want to help businesses succeed online. If you have a team member who handles your website or other marketing tasks, these articles can be great training resources. They can help your team understand best practices, learn about new tools, and improve their skills.
The blog is designed to educate you and help you understand what’s possible, but we know that actually implementing everything can be overwhelming when you’re trying to run a business. If you read an article and think “this makes sense but I don’t have time to do it” or “I need expert help with this,” just reach out to us for a consultation.
While the blog listing page shows high-level topics, our articles dive into specific platforms, tools, and strategies. We cover search engine optimization, pay-per-click advertising, website analytics, and various marketing channels. Because we’re a Google Partner and work across all major platforms daily, we write about what’s actually working right now on these platforms.
This is one of our comprehensive guides that walks through our entire process for evaluating and improving a business’s online presence. It covers everything from making sure your tracking and analytics are set up correctly, to analyzing your website performance, conducting competitive analysis, and more. It’s a 32-minute read because it’s incredibly detailed.
Our article “Is AI the Future of Digital Marketing?” is designed specifically for business owners who keep hearing about AI but aren’t sure what it means for them. The short answer is that AI is changing how marketing works, but in ways that can really benefit your business if you know how to use it (or work with people who do).
It’s essentially a curated catalog of the digital marketing tools we use and recommend. We’ve organized tools by category, including pay-per-click advertising tools, landing page builders, SEO tools, web analytics platforms, and lead generation software. Instead of you having to research and test dozens of tools, we’ve done the work for you.
We regularly publish new content to keep you updated on the latest trends, tools, and strategies in digital marketing. The marketing world changes fast, especially with new AI tools and search engine updates, so we make sure our blog stays current. You can subscribe to our marketing newsletter at the bottom of the blog page to get updates.
We write for business owners and people who are trying to understand marketing, not for other marketers. We break down complex topics into simple language and explain things step by step. If we use a technical term, we explain what it means. Our goal is to help you understand what’s happening in digital marketing and how it affects your business.
Our blog is packed with practical digital marketing advice that you can actually use. We cover everything from step-by-step guides on improving your website performance to explaining new technologies like AI in marketing. You’ll find how-to articles, industry tools and resources, tips for increasing online sales, and explanations of marketing concepts in plain English.
What case study insights answer your success questions?
We work with all types of businesses including law firms like Weiland Button PLC, insurance agencies like Jenny Tola State Farm, plumbers like Vanguard, nonprofits like Love Your Brain, and even other marketing agencies like SEO West. We’ve helped startups just launching and established businesses looking to grow.
Here are real numbers from our case studies: over 13,000 leads for Jenny Tola State Farm, 18,000+ phone calls for SEO West’s clients, millions reached for Love Your Brain, and an 18.09% conversion rate for Weiland Button PLC. These aren’t made-up numbers. They’re documented results with client reviews to back them up.
It depends on what we’re doing. Some clients see quick wins within the first few weeks, like improved website performance or better ad click-through rates. Other results, like building a strong SEO presence, take several months of consistent work. Each case study walks through the timeline.
We’re transparent about the process. Our case studies describe the client’s situation before they came to us, including challenges like low traffic, poor conversions, or starting from scratch. We explain what obstacles we overcame and how we solved them. It’s a realistic look at how we take businesses from where they are to where they want to be.
We’ve helped several nonprofits like Love Your Brain and Kappa Alpha Order, many using Google Ad Grants (up to $10,000 per month in free Google Ads). The strategies are similar, but goals might be raising awareness, event registrations, or recruiting volunteers instead of direct sales. We’ve gotten really good at maximizing these grants.
We have case studies spanning legal services, insurance, home services, nonprofits, and agency partnerships. Browse the page and look for businesses similar to yours. Even if we don’t have an exact match, the marketing principles often transfer across industries. And if you don’t see your industry, that doesn’t mean we can’t help.
Each case study includes who the client is, their challenges when they came to us, the specific strategies we implemented, the results with real metrics, and a 5-star review from the client in their own words. Some also include highlighted statistics like click-through rates, conversion rates, total leads generated, or SEO value.
We can’t guarantee identical results because every business is different. Your industry, competition, budget, and location all affect outcomes. What we can tell you is these represent our real work and proven strategies. We approach every client with the same expertise that got these results.
These are 100% real clients with verified results. You can see our 5.0 rating maintained over more than a decade online. Many of these clients have been with us for years and continue to refer others (our 92% referral rate). The metrics come directly from platforms like Google Analytics and Google Ads.
A case study is a detailed story of how we helped a real business solve their marketing challenges. Each one shows who the client was, what problems they faced, what we did, and the actual results we achieved. You can see specific numbers like leads generated or traffic improvements.
What credentials confirm we’re the partner you need?
Our team is certified across all relevant Google products. This includes Google Ads (covering Search, Display, Video, Shopping, and App campaigns), Google Analytics (for tracking and analyzing website performance), and other Google marketing platforms. Each team member working on your account holds certifications specific to the services they’re providing.
These aren’t just participation certificates. Google and Bing certifications require passing rigorous exams that test real knowledge about campaign strategy, optimization, analytics, and best practices. More importantly, maintaining these certifications means we stay current as platforms change.
Bing might be smaller than Google, but it still reaches millions in certain demographics and industries. Microsoft Advertising often has lower competition and costs, which can mean better value for your budget. Our team is certified because we want to give you every option to reach customers. Sometimes a multi-platform approach works best.
Simple: you’re working with people who actually know what they’re doing. When you hire certified experts, you avoid costly mistakes that come from trial and error. We know which campaign settings to use, how to structure ads properly, how to interpret your analytics data correctly, and how to optimize for better results.
Some do; many don’t. Plenty of agencies claim to offer Google Ads or SEO services without having anyone on staff who’s actually certified. Or they might have one person who passed a basic test years ago. What sets us apart is that our entire team maintains current certifications, and we’re led by someone Google recognized as a Product Expert.
Individual certifications prove each team member knows their stuff. Being a Google Partner is a company-level recognition. It means we’ve demonstrated strong overall performance, client retention, and ad spend management across all our client accounts. So, we have both individual expertise and company-wide proven performance.
Google and Bing regularly update their certification requirements and exams to reflect platform changes. We retake exams and complete continuing education as required to maintain active status. This usually happens at least annually, sometimes more frequently when major platform updates roll out.
Google and Bing maintain public directories of certified individuals and partner agencies. During a consultation, we’re happy to show you our credentials directly. We also display our Google Partner badge on our website. We’re proud of these achievements and have nothing to hide unlike some agencies that make vague claims about expertise.
Because at the end of the day, you care about results, not trophies. We lead with that message because certifications are tools that help us deliver those results, not the end goal themselves. We pursue these partnerships and certifications because they make us better at helping your business grow.
A Google Product Expert is someone recognized by Google as a top expert in their products. Our founder was selected by Google to help other businesses and marketers solve complex problems with Search and Google Ads. This is a prestigious designation that only a small group of people worldwide receive.
What advantages set us apart from other agencies?
That works for us. While we offer monthly management, we also do project-based work and quarterly packages for businesses with seasonal needs or those who prefer less frequent check-ins. Whether you need a new website built, a one-time campaign setup, or periodic expert oversight, we can structure something that fits.
Many clients see an immediate jump in results due to our proven approach. Some improvements happen fast, like fixing technical website issues or improving ad performance. Other results, like building strong SEO rankings, take a few months of consistent work. We’ll set realistic expectations during your consultation based on your specific situation.
AI is changing how people find information online. Instead of just Googling, people are now asking ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and other AI assistants for recommendations. We monitor and optimize for 20+ AI platforms to make sure your business shows up when people ask these systems for help.
Yes. We’ve partnered with 15+ agencies on a white label basis, meaning we manage their clients’ Google Ads programs under their brand. If you’re an agency without an in-house paid advertising team, we can handle that part of your client work. Your clients never know we’re involved. It’s a great way for agencies to offer expert advertising services without hiring full-time specialists.
We offer complete digital marketing services including web design (using WordPress or Webflow), Google Ads and Microsoft Advertising management, local SEO to help you rank higher in search results, and AI technology integration. Our services are designed to work together for maximum impact.
Yes. We’re realistic about budgets and work with businesses of all sizes. Our approach is designed to maximize whatever budget you have available, whether that’s a few hundred dollars a month or tens of thousands. During your consultation, we’ll be honest about what’s achievable with your budget and create a plan that prioritizes the highest-impact activities first.
Completely transparent. We deliver detailed monthly reports that show exactly what happened in the last 30 days. You’ll see where your budget went, what’s working, what’s not, and what we recommend changing. We explain everything in plain English so you understand where to focus, when to pivot, and how to react to changes.
It means when you have a question, need a change made, or want to discuss something, we respond within 24 hours. You won’t be stuck in a queue waiting days for a callback or email response. Most agencies make you schedule appointments weeks out or leave you waiting endlessly. We keep team members available during business hours specifically to help you.
Because we believe our performance should keep you as a client, not a piece of paper. If we’re not delivering results or you’re unhappy with our service, you shouldn’t be forced to stay. We offer month-to-month arrangements by default. We’ll provide longer contracts if you request one or if it helps reduce your overall costs.
Three main things set us apart. First, we don’t lock you into lengthy contracts. You stay with us because we deliver results, not because you’re trapped. Second, we offer 24-hour turnarounds on most requests instead of making you wait days or weeks. Third, our communication is transparent and constant. You’ll always know what we’re doing, why we’re doing it, and what results you’re getting.
What client experiences reveal about working with us?
Spencer is the founder and CEO of Lift Conversions, and he’s deeply involved with client relationships. Many clients mention being surprised that the owner of the company actually answered the phone when they called or worked directly on their projects. This personal involvement from leadership is unusual in the agency world.
Yes. We provide white label services to other agencies, meaning we handle their clients’ Google Ads and digital marketing under their brand. SEO West is a great example. They outsource PPC management to us while maintaining their client relationships. It’s actually a strong endorsement that other marketing professionals trust us.
Three things come up repeatedly: responsiveness (clients mention getting replies within minutes), going above and beyond expectations (working nights and weekends when needed, solving complex problems), and genuine care for client success. You’ll also see phrases like “family,” “trust,” and “partnership” showing up often.
Unfortunately, yes. Many clients come to us frustrated after working with agencies that overpromised and underdelivered, locked them into contracts, were unresponsive, or made costly mistakes. Chicago Roofing Solutions, Aladin Foods, and Dente Complete Dentistry all specifically mention these issues. We’ve become experienced at cleaning up messes, recovering accounts, and getting businesses back on track.
Yes, in certain cases. THRIVE Enrichment Services is a perfect example. We managed their Google Ad Grant pro bono because we believed in their mission to help individuals with autism. We’ve also helped Music Is Our Weapon, Love Your Brain, Kappa Alpha Order, and other nonprofits maximize their impact. When we can afford to support organizations doing important work, we do.
Different clients experienced different quick wins. Chicago Roofing Solutions saw so much business within six months they could barely handle it. Steady Demand mentioned we started their campaign in less than a week and immediately began providing feedback. “Immediate” varies, but it generally means clients notice positive changes within the first few weeks or months, not after waiting a year.
Because it’s genuinely different from what they’re used to. LVBS mentions getting responses within minutes. Taylor Street Dental talks about quick responses to both big and small concerns. This consistent feedback tells you that most agencies make clients wait days or weeks for answers. We don’t operate that way.
Not at all. While we’re based in Chicago and Westminster, Colorado, we work with clients nationwide. You’ll see reviews from businesses in Texas, Virginia, New Orleans, and other states. Digital marketing doesn’t require us to be in the same city as you. Weiland Button specifically mentions we’re in a different state but still respond quickly to any issues.
The consistent message across dozens of reviews is that we genuinely care about our clients’ success, respond quickly when they need us, deliver quality work on time, and treat them like partners rather than account numbers. Clients use words like “family,” “trust,” and “blessing” because we’ve made a real impact on their businesses.
Yes, every single one. These are actual reviews from businesses we’ve worked with over the past decade, ranging from small startups to established companies. You’ll notice they come from diverse industries including law firms, roofing companies, nonprofits, dental practices, trucking companies, and marketing agencies.
What does our Google Partner status mean for you?
Because it requires real work and accountability. Many agencies don’t want to invest in ongoing training and certification for their team. Others can’t meet the performance standards because they’re not managing campaigns well enough. Some agencies manage too few accounts or too little ad spend to qualify. And others simply don’t follow Google’s best practices and policies, so they can’t maintain the status.
Absolutely. Google maintains a public Partners Directory where you can look up verified Partner agencies. We’re listed there and you can confirm our status directly through Google. We also display the official Google Partner badge, which is only given to agencies that meet the requirements.
Certified specialists know how to structure campaigns properly from the start, which prevents common mistakes that burn through budgets. We understand Ad Rank optimization, which gets you better ad positions for less money. We know how to set up conversion tracking correctly so you’re not paying for clicks that don’t matter. We use proper audience segmentation and bid strategies instead of broad targeting that wastes money.
It means we don’t guess or use outdated tactics. We use proven strategies that Google has verified through their certification process. When we optimize your campaigns, we’re following methodologies based on millions of dollars in ad spend data across thousands of accounts. We know what works because it’s been tested and verified.
Yes. As a Google Partner, we get access to advanced diagnostic tools, performance insights, and platform features before they’re widely available. We also have access to Google support channels that regular advertisers can’t reach. This means when there’s an issue with your account or we need clarification on a policy, we can get answers faster.
Our team holds certifications across all major Google Ads campaign types including Search campaigns, Performance Max, Display advertising, and Video campaigns. These certifications cover everything from keyword strategy and audience targeting to conversion tracking and attribution modeling. Each team member working on your account has the specific certifications relevant to the services they’re providing.
You get several direct advantages. First, your campaigns are managed by certified specialists who know the platform inside and out, which means less wasted ad spend. Second, we stay current with platform updates and new features, so you benefit from the latest tools before your competitors. Third, we structure campaigns using Google’s best practices, which improves your targeting accuracy and conversion rates.
Google requires us to maintain consistent campaign performance across all client accounts, meet minimum ad spend thresholds, keep our team certifications current, and follow all platform policies. Our specialists must pass certification exams covering Search, Performance Max, Display, and Video campaigns. Google reviews our status regularly, so we can’t just earn it once and coast.
Anyone can create a Google Ads account and start running ads. But being a Partner means we’ve proven our expertise through rigorous certification exams, met minimum performance standards across all our client accounts, and demonstrated we manage campaigns according to Google’s verified methodologies. We have access to advanced tools, early feature releases, and support channels that regular advertisers don’t get.
Being a Google Partner means Google has officially recognized us as a certified expert in managing Google Ads campaigns. We’ve met strict benchmarks for account performance, ad spend management, and technical proficiency. It’s not something you can just claim or buy. Google verifies that we’re actively managing campaigns well, our team holds current certifications, and we’re following their best practices.
What does our Google Product Expert Alum status deliver?
Extremely rare. When Spencer held this title, there were only a handful of Google Ads Product Experts worldwide. Platinum is the highest tier, reserved for experts who consistently demonstrate exceptional knowledge and leadership. It’s like being in the top 1% of people who understand these platforms. Google doesn’t hand this out easily.
Google carefully evaluates Product Experts based on the accuracy of their advice, problem-solving ability, and platform knowledge. Spencer had to consistently provide correct, helpful information to users worldwide. Google monitored his contributions and verified his expertise before granting the status. It’s essentially Google’s stamp of approval.
You should care about both. Results show we can deliver, but Spencer’s Product Expert Alumni status explains why we can deliver. It shows how we gained the deep expertise that produces those results. When you have a complex issue or need strategic guidance, you want someone who’s solved thousands of problems before, not someone learning on your budget.
Google maintains public directories of Product Experts, including Alumni. Spencer’s Product Expert profile is publicly viewable and linked on this page. You can see his contributions and status directly through Google’s official channels. This isn’t something you can fake because Google controls these profiles.
Everything from technical campaign issues to policy violations and account suspensions, to complex tracking problems and strategic optimization questions. He helped users worldwide troubleshoot issues that Google’s standard support couldn’t always solve. This means when something goes wrong with your campaigns, we’ve likely seen it before and know how to fix it.
Absolutely. The knowledge doesn’t disappear with Alumni status. Spencer still has all the expertise he built over years of helping users worldwide. The difference is now he focuses that expertise exclusively on our clients instead of the general public. You actually benefit more because you get dedicated attention from someone with that background.
Spencer moderated Google’s Advertiser’s Community, where Google Ads users ask questions and solve problems. As a moderator, he was responsible for maintaining the community, answering complex questions, and providing leadership to thousands of advertisers worldwide. Google trusted him to represent their platform and guide users correctly.
You’re working with someone who knows how Google’s platforms work from the inside. Spencer trained every account manager at Lift Conversions in best practices, so his expertise flows through to every client account. When complex issues arise, we can solve them because Spencer has dealt with thousands of unique situations before.
Product Experts get early information about platform updates, direct communication with Google engineers, access to advanced troubleshooting tools, and invitations to exclusive events like the Product Expert Summit. Even though Spencer is now Alumni, the knowledge and connections he gained directly benefit our clients today.
A Google Product Expert is someone hand-selected by Google to help users worldwide with their platforms. Spencer held Platinum Product Expert status for both Google Web Search and Google Ads. “Alumni” means he stepped back from the active program to focus full-time on Lift Conversions. He earned the recognition and it stays with him permanently.
Our FAQ answers your questions about our office locations.
You own all work when payment is made. We don’t hold your website, content, or campaigns hostage. If you’ve paid for services, that work belongs to you, period.

Yes. Every client has access to our complete service set, web design, Google Ads and Microsoft Advertising management, SEO, and AI optimization, regardless of location or account size. We build the right mix for your goals.
It tells you our clients are so satisfied with our work that they actively recommend us to friends, family, and colleagues. When nearly 9 out of 10 new clients come from existing client referrals, it means we’re doing something right. People don’t refer businesses they’re unhappy with. This loyalty is built on real results and genuine partnerships over our 10+ years in business.
We work with clients entirely through phone, email, and video calls. This approach actually works better for most businesses because you don’t waste time traveling to meetings. You get the same expert service and personal attention without leaving your office. We’ve been operating this way successfully for over a decade, and clients appreciate the convenience.

We serve clients nationwide from our Chicago home base. Digital marketing doesn’t depend on being in the same city as you, so we work with businesses in every state and deliver the same results wherever you are.
Not at all. We’re based in Chicago and work with clients nationwide. Digital marketing doesn’t require face-to-face meetings for us to deliver great results. Many of our clients are in completely different states, and we handle everything remotely through phone, email, and video just as effectively as in person.
We’re based in Chicago, Illinois, where we started in 2014, and we work with clients nationwide. Digital marketing doesn’t require us to be in your city, so we serve businesses across the country remotely through phone, email, and video.
Want to know our story and where we started?
The Chicago office offers our complete range of services including web design, Google Ads and Microsoft Advertising management, local SEO, and AI optimization. We handle everything from building websites from scratch to managing ongoing campaigns to optimizing your presence across AI platforms.
All clients get the same fast service regardless of location. We promise 24-hour turnarounds on most requests whether you’re calling from Chicago, Colorado, or California. Being local doesn’t give you an advantage because we already treat every client like a priority. Our responsiveness is built into how we operate, not dependent on your zip code.
Douglas Park gave us a vibrant, entrepreneurial environment. Being next to Lagunitas and Cinespace meant we were surrounded by creative, innovative businesses. It was an inspiring place to build our foundation. Even though we’ve grown beyond that location, the values we built there remain core to who we are.
Absolutely. We started as a small operation in Douglas Park and have grown significantly over the past decade. We’ve expanded our team, opened a second office in Colorado, and serve hundreds of clients nationwide. Our growth has been driven almost entirely by client referrals, which tells you we’re doing something right.
It means we’ve built our reputation over 10+ years in one of the most competitive business markets in the country. Chicago has countless marketing agencies, but we’ve maintained a 90% referral rate and 5-star ratings by actually delivering results and treating clients right. Our Google Product Expert background, certifications, and proven track record set us apart.
Yes. You work directly with the same team from day one, no layers of account managers and no handing you off. The people you speak with during consultation are the same people who manage and optimize your campaigns.
Our Chicago office number is (773) 419-3636. We’re available Monday through Friday, 9am to 6pm Central Time. When you call, you’ll reach our team directly during business hours. We maintain our commitment to quick responses and don’t make you wait in phone queues or schedule callbacks weeks out.
Not at all. While our Chicago office serves as our original home base, we work with clients nationwide. “Chicago Roots, Nationwide Reach” isn’t just a tagline. We handle everything through phone, email, and video calls, so geography doesn’t limit our ability to deliver excellent service. Many of our Chicago-based clients have referred us to businesses in other states.
Spencer came from a finance background and realized there was a significant void in the service that businesses could expect from marketing firms. He saw too many companies’ getting poor customer service, locked into lengthy contracts, and left waiting for responses. He started Lift Conversions specifically to bridge that gap with true customer service and client-first values.
We started in Chicago’s Douglas Park neighborhood back in March 2014. Our first office was located next door to Lagunitas Brewery and Cinespace Studios. We operated from that location for three vibrant years before expanding. Douglas Park is where our roots are, and it’s where we built the foundation of our business and reputation.
Curious how we serve clients across the country?
We use shared systems, standardized processes, and consistent reporting so every client gets the same experience. Our whole team works from one playbook, which keeps results predictable no matter how many accounts we manage.
Yes. We use professional research tools to analyze your competitors, local search trends, and audience behavior in any market. In many cases we bring more data and experience to a local market than a small in-town agency would.
We scale deliberately, adding capacity and refining our systems only as demand supports it. That measured approach means every client keeps getting the same dedicated attention, even as we grow.
Absolutely. Local SEO, optimizing your Google Business Profile, building local citations, creating location-specific content, and managing reviews, is one of our specialties, and none of it requires us to be physically in your city.
You get over a decade of proven expertise, a 90% referral rate, Google Product Expert leadership, and certified specialists on your account. We’re not learning on your budget, we arrived with an established track record and deliver from day one.
It means that while we’re rooted in Chicago, where we started in 2014, our services extend across the country. Geography doesn’t limit who we can help. We deliver the same expertise to clients coast to coast.
No. We work with businesses nationwide. Your location doesn’t determine the quality of service or who handles your account, every client gets the same team, tools, and standards wherever they’re based.
Nearly 90% of our new clients come through referrals from existing clients. People don’t refer businesses they’re unhappy with, so that referral rate, held for over a decade, tells you how satisfied our clients are with the work.
Every team member is trained by our founder in the same proven methodologies and best practices. That shared playbook is why you get the same level of expertise and service quality no matter who on our team manages your account.
We’ve been operating since 2014, more than a decade of managing campaigns across 50+ industries. That longevity means we’ve seen what works, what wastes money, and how to get results without experimenting on your budget.

Many clients say they feel more connected to us than to local agencies who are slow to respond or hard to reach.
We use cutting-edge digital marketing tools and platforms that allow us to manage campaigns, track results, and communicate with clients from anywhere. Our in-house IT team ensures we have the technology infrastructure to deliver services seamlessly nationwide. You get the benefit of advanced tools without needing to understand or manage them yourself.
No. Our rates are competitive and consistent no matter where you’re located. We don’t add travel fees, regional surcharges, or location-based premiums. A business in Florida pays the same as one down the street for the same services. Our pricing is based on the work required, not your zip code.
Absolutely not. Every client gets the same data-driven strategies, certified specialists, and proven methodologies regardless of location. We don’t have a tiered service system based on geography. Whether you’re next door or across the country, your campaigns receive the same level of expertise and attention that’s earned our 90% referral rate.
Digital marketing research tools give us deep insights into any local market. We analyze your competitors, local search trends, audience behavior, and market conditions using the same data that local agencies would use. In many cases, we have more sophisticated tools and experience analyzing markets nationwide than a small local agency would.
Yes, that’s one of our specialties. Local SEO involves optimizing your Google Business Profile, building local citations, creating location-specific content, and managing reviews. None of that requires us to be physically in your city. We’ve helped businesses across the country dominate their local search results.
No. We keep our 24-hour response commitment for all clients nationwide, and during business hours you’ll reach us quickly. Whether you’re on the East Coast or the West Coast, our team is available to help within the business day.
We assign accounts based on team capacity and expertise match, not geography. What matters is getting you the right specialists for your needs. Every client works with the same trained team, the same tools, and the same standards.
We want to be crystal clear that we genuinely serve clients everywhere in the US. Some agencies say “nationwide” but really only focus on certain regions. By listing every state, we’re making an explicit commitment that whether you’re in Wyoming, Vermont, or anywhere else, we’re ready and equipped to help.
We serve all 48 contiguous states plus Hawaii, Alaska, and the District of Columbia. Basically, if you’re anywhere in the United States, we can work with you. We’ve successfully managed campaigns for businesses from California to Maine, from Texas to Washington. Geography doesn’t limit our ability to deliver results because digital marketing happens online.

Google Grants provide eligible nonprofits up to $10,000 per month in free Google Ads advertising. It’s completely different from paid advertising because Google covers the cost. However, Grants have strict rules and requirements that must be followed or you lose the funding. We specialize in managing Google Grants for Colorado nonprofits.
WordPress is a powerful, flexible platform that lets you easily update content without needing a developer for every small change. Together, we create mobile-friendly, professional websites that are both technically solid and user-friendly.
Webmaster Services handle the technical maintenance of your website. This includes tracking setup, sitemap submissions so search engines index your site properly, fixing technical errors, ensuring your site stays secure and updated, and handling domain and hosting issues. Think of it as ongoing technical support that keeps your website running smoothly.
Customer Experience services look at your entire customer journey from their perspective. This includes analyzing your website’s user experience, making sure checkout processes are smooth, setting up call tracking so you know which marketing drives phone calls, and optimizing your CMS (content management system) for easy updates.
Local SEO focuses on getting your business to show up when people search for services in your geographic area, like “plumber in Denver” or “lawyer near me.” It involves optimizing your Google Business profile, building local citations, and creating location-specific content. Regular SEO is broader and focuses on ranking for keywords regardless of location.
Our founder was one of only a handful of Google Ads Top Contributors worldwide when he started the company, so best practices are built into our DNA. We’re not learning on your budget or using trial and error, we understand the platform at an expert level and apply that to every campaign we manage.
Reputation management includes actively responding to reviews your business receives online, creating review generation campaigns to get more positive reviews, and monitoring what people are saying about your business across platforms. We help you address negative reviews professionally and encourage happy customers to share their experiences.
Google updates its platform constantly, and staying certified means retaking exams and completing ongoing training as requirements change. That keeps us current on new campaign types, features, and best practices, so your campaigns benefit from the latest tools rather than outdated tactics.
We’ve divided our services into three clear categories to make it easier for you to understand what we offer. Search covers everything related to getting found online like Google Ads, SEO, and content writing. Social includes reputation management, Google business profile, and customer experience. Tech handles web design, analytics, tracking, hosting, and domains. Together, these three categories cover every digital marketing need your business has.
You get a full-service digital marketing team with over a decade of experience, led by a Google Product Expert Alum. From web design to paid ads to SEO and AI optimization, you get expert attention on every part of your online presence, without lengthy contracts.
Get answers about Illinois marketing opportunities and tactics.
Because many Illinois businesses have been burned by agencies that locked them into year-long or multi-year contracts and then delivered poor service. Once you’re locked in, these agencies stop caring because you can’t leave. We refuse to operate that way. Month-to-month terms mean we earn your business every single month through results and service.
These are free tools from Google that track your website traffic and search performance, but they need to be set up correctly to work properly. Installation involves adding tracking codes to your website, configuring goals and conversions, setting up filters, and connecting your site to Search Console.
We offer competitive, fair pricing without the overhead costs that big national agencies pass on to clients. You’re not subsidizing fancy offices, bloated management structures, or massive marketing budgets. Our pricing reflects the actual work required. Plus, you get direct access to the people doing the work, not account managers who relay messages.
Web Directories are online listings where your business information appears, like Yelp, Yellow Pages, industry-specific directories, and local business listings. For Illinois businesses, being listed correctly across directories helps with local SEO and makes it easier for customers to find you. Inconsistent information across directories hurts your rankings.
It means you can reach us during business hours without scheduling appointments weeks out. You don’t wait days for email responses. You’re not blocked by contract terms from asking questions or making changes. When you have an urgent request, we handle it. When you need to discuss strategy, we make time. We’re accessible and responsive.
We understand Illinois markets deeply after over a decade here. We know the competitive landscape, seasonal trends, local audience behavior, and what works in different regions of the state. We’ve also built relationships and reputation that newer agencies haven’t. Plus, our longevity proves we’re not a fly-by-night operation.
We work with all three. Many agencies only want big corporate clients, but we’ve helped individuals launch their personal brands, nonprofits maximize Google Grants, and businesses of every size grow their presence. If you’re in Illinois and need digital marketing help, we don’t care if you’re a solo entrepreneur, a charity, or an established company.
Absolutely. While we started in Chicago, we’ve worked with businesses throughout Illinois in cities of all sizes. We understand that marketing in Peoria or Rockford is different from marketing in downtown Chicago. The competition, audience, and local dynamics vary, and we adjust strategies accordingly.
We serve businesses across the entire state including Chicago, Aurora, Joliet, Rockford, Peoria, Springfield, Champaign, Waukegan, Des Plaines, and every other city in Illinois. Whether you’re in a major metro area or a small town, you get the same level of service. We mention these cities specifically because we’ve worked successfully in all of them.
Michigan Avenue in Chicago is known for high-end, expensive businesses. We’re saying you get personalized, high-quality service like big agencies charge premium prices for, but at fair, competitive rates. You’re not paying inflated downtown Chicago prices or corporate fees. You get expert attention and custom service without the markup.
Learn how we work and what to expect from a consultation.
Because many agencies hold your website, content, or campaign assets hostage even after you’ve paid for them. We want you to know upfront that we don’t operate that way. Once you’ve paid for work, it’s yours completely. You’re never trapped or dependent on us. This transparency is important and we state it clearly before you even book an appointment.
“Free Marketing Consultation” is for general discussions about your marketing situation when you’re not sure what you need yet. The specific service options (Web Design, Paid Advertising, etc.) are for when you already know what area you want help with. Both lead to the same free appointment, it just helps us prepare the right expertise for your conversation.
Our standard business hours are Monday through Friday, 9am to 6pm Central Time. If you have scheduling constraints, mention that in the “Additional Info” section and we’ll do our best to accommodate you. We understand business owners often have limited availability during typical hours.
It depends on your needs and team availability. Spencer personally handles many client appointments, especially for complex situations or strategic planning. For specific service discussions, you might meet with a specialist from our team who focuses on that area. Either way, you’re talking with experienced professionals, not junior salespeople.
Most appointments run 30 to 45 minutes, but we’re flexible based on your needs. If you have a complex situation that requires more time, we’ll take it. If you just have a quick question, we won’t drag it out unnecessarily. We match the time to what you actually need, not some rigid schedule format.
AI/LLM refers to artificial intelligence and large language models like ChatGPT and Gemini. AEO means Answer Engine Optimization, which is getting your business to show up when people ask AI systems for recommendations. It’s like SEO but for AI platforms. If you’re interested in making sure your business appears in AI-generated answers, select this option.
Choose the service that’s your biggest priority or pain point right now. During the actual appointment, we can discuss all your needs and create a comprehensive plan. The dropdown selection just helps us understand your primary focus so we can have the right person ready to talk with you about it.
Share whatever context you think is helpful. This could be your current challenges, what you’ve tried before, your budget range, timeline expectations, or specific questions you have. The more we know upfront, the more productive our conversation will be.
Zero. The appointment is completely free with no strings attached. We’re not going to pressure you into signing anything or committing to services. It’s a genuine conversation to understand your needs and see if we can help. If we’re not a good fit, we’ll tell you honestly.
Someone from our team will contact you within 24 hours, typically much sooner during business hours. We’ll reach out using the contact method you prefer (phone or email) to schedule a time that works for your calendar. We respect your time and won’t make you wait days for a response like many agencies do.
Find out about our video meetings and connection requirements.
Just call us. We’ll troubleshoot quickly or simply switch to a phone conversation instead. Technology hiccups happen and we won’t waste your time trying to fix connection problems. We’re adaptable and will use whatever method works best in the moment. Your time is valuable and we respect that.
Have any specific questions written down, access to your website if we’ll be reviewing it, and login credentials ready if we need to look at your Google Analytics or ad accounts together. If you have examples of competitors or designs you like, have those links handy. But honestly, just showing up ready to talk is fine. We’ll guide the conversation.
Absolutely. Multiple participants can join the conversation, so you can have your marketing manager, business partner, or anyone else from your team present. Just let us know when you schedule so we understand who will be there. Having key decision makers on the call together often makes the conversation more productive.
Not unless you specifically request it and we agree to it beforehand. We respect your privacy. These are private conversations about your business, and we treat them as confidential. If you’d like a recording for your own records or to share with your team, just ask and we can discuss setting that up.
Most sessions run 30 to 45 minutes, similar to our phone appointments. The length depends on what we’re covering. If you’re reviewing a complex campaign or website design together, it might take longer. If it’s a quick check-in or specific question, it could be shorter. We match the time to what you actually need.
Any computer, tablet, or smartphone with a camera and microphone will work. For internet speed, a basic broadband connection is sufficient. You don’t need anything fancy. If your internet is slow or unstable, we can always switch to a phone call mid-conversation. We’re flexible and will work with whatever technology you have available.
Video chat lets us share screens, show you examples visually, walk through your website together, or review analytics dashboards in real time. It’s more collaborative when we need to show you something specific. Phone calls work great for discussions and strategy, but video is helpful when visual demonstration makes things clearer.
That’s completely fine. You can turn off your camera and use video chat as audio-only, or simply call us. We offer video as an option for those who want it, but we’re equally happy to work with you over the phone. Your comfort matters most and doesn’t affect the quality of service you receive.
Phone calls work perfectly fine. Video is just an option for those who prefer it or when visual collaboration helps. Many of our clients work with us exclusively over the phone and email. Choose whatever communication method makes you most comfortable. We adapt to your preferences, not the other way around.
Video chat allows us to have more collaborative conversations where we can share screens, show you examples, walk through your website together, or review campaign data in real time. Some people prefer seeing who they’re talking to and having that face-to-face connection even when we’re not in the same location.
Get answers about reaching our team and response times.
We take privacy seriously and only use your contact information to respond to your inquiry and communicate about potential services. We’re not selling your information to third parties or adding you to spam lists. If you check the box to receive marketing correspondence, you’ll get occasional updates, but you can unsubscribe anytime.
Mention in the “Additional Info” section that you’re an agency looking for white label partnership. We work with 15+ agencies and understand those relationships require different conversations than direct client work. We’ll connect you with the right person who handles agency partnerships and can discuss how we support other marketing firms.
No, it’s completely free. We provide complimentary audits and initial discussions to help you understand your marketing situation and where improvements can be made. There’s no obligation, no pressure to sign up for anything, and no hidden charges. It’s a genuine conversation to see if we can help and if we’re a good fit.
Just call us at (773) 419-3636 or use the contact form, and we’ll respond promptly. We serve clients nationwide, so your location doesn’t change how we handle your account.
Absolutely. Not every contact needs to turn into a formal meeting. If you have a quick question about digital marketing, pricing, or our services, just ask. We’re happy to provide straightforward answers. If it turns into a longer conversation, great. If not, that’s fine too. We’re here to be helpful, not to force meetings on everyone.
No. We’re not going to hound you with repeated sales calls or pushy follow-ups. We’ll respond to your inquiry professionally and respectfully. If you’re not interested after our initial conversation, that’s the end of it. In fact, we haven’t made a sales call since 2016 due to our referral-based business model.
Choose “Question/Other” or “Free Marketing Consultation” if you’re still figuring out what you need. During our conversation, we’ll help you identify which services would be most beneficial for your situation. The dropdown is just to give us context, not to lock you into anything specific.
If you want to talk immediately during business hours, call. If you prefer to send information at your convenience or are contacting outside business hours, use the form or email. Both get the same attention and response time. It’s purely about what works best for your schedule and communication preference.
Someone from our team will respond within one business day, usually much faster during business hours. We’ll reach out using your preferred contact method to answer your questions, discuss your needs, or schedule a time to talk in more detail. You’ll never be left wondering if your message went through or waiting days for a response.
You can fill out the contact form on this page, call us at (773) 419-3636, or email us at info@liftconversions.com. For after-hours support, email support@liftconversions.com. We’re available Monday through Friday, 9am to 6pm Central Time. Choose whichever method is most convenient for you.
