What does an SEO consultant in Madison actually do?
A Madison SEO consultant runs your search strategy end-to-end without an agency layer: technical audits, schema and Core Web Vitals remediation, credential-sensitive content briefs (HL7 / FHIR / HIMSS / KLAS for Epic-adjacent healthcare-IT, FDA / cGMP / PubMed / ORCID for UW-Madison-affiliated biotech / diagnostics, NAIC / state-insurance-commission for American Family-adjacent insurance), digital PR through KLAS Research / Healthcare IT News / Modern Healthcare / Endpoints / BioPharma Dive / Insurance Business America / In Business Madison, GEO readiness, and monthly pipeline-attributed reporting. Typical Madison consultant retainer $2,500–$4,800/month; $4,800–$9,000/month for Epic-implementation engagements at scale, Exact Sciences / Promega-tier biotech / diagnostics, American Family-tier insurance, or Shorewood Hills / Maple Bluff boutique legal practices.
How is your SEO agency different from other Madison SEO agencies?
Three differences. First, specialist writers — HL7 / FHIR / HIMSS-credentialed healthcare-IT writers, PhD / MD-credentialed biotech / diagnostics editors, NAIC-literate insurance editors — not generalist content writers. Second, transparent USD pricing published on the site ($6,000–$15,000/month for agency-tier engagements), month-to-month with 30 days notice. Third, same senior hand pitches and runs the work.
