About

You should not have to become a marketer to grow

Most small business owners did not sign up to write blog posts, chase Google rankings, respond to every review, or figure out why ChatGPT recommends a competitor instead of them. You signed up to serve customers and run a good operation.

iScream Studio builds the website or app, then wires up the systems behind it: scheduled content, listing updates, search optimization, and reporting you can actually read.

We work with venues, shops, contractors, restaurants, professional services, and founders across Illinois and the rest of the country. Our clients stay focused on operations. We stay focused on the site, the search presence, and the automations that feed both.

Location

Local roots. Broader reach.

Based in Glenview on Chicago’s North Shore, familiar with the Chicagoland market, and building for local, Illinois, and national clients.

Lean studio, senior attention, no agency handoff.

Services

What we handle for you

One team for the site, search, content, and follow-ups. You stay focused on the business; we keep the digital side on schedule.

How we work with you

You share goals and context. We build the site, wire reporting and marketing workflows, and keep work moving after launch. You approve major changes; we handle the rest.

Search & visibility

SEO, GEO, and AEO each need a different setup. We treat them separately so nothing gets lumped together.

SEO

Classic search: technical health, page speed, on-page structure, content that ranks, and backlinks that build authority over time.

  • Site audits and fixes
  • Keyword-focused pages and blogs
  • Local pack and map visibility
  • Monthly ranking reports

GEO

Generative Engine Optimization: getting your brand cited when people ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, or Google AI Overviews for recommendations in your category.

  • Citation and visibility audits
  • Structured, citation-friendly content
  • Entity and schema markup
  • Competitor citation tracking

AEO

Answer Engine Optimization: shaping your site so direct answers, FAQs, and rich results show up when someone asks a specific question about what you do.

  • FAQ and how-to content architecture
  • Featured snippet targeting
  • Voice-search friendly formatting
  • Clear, extractable facts on every key page

Marketing automation

Pipelines for content, follow-ups, and reporting so marketing keeps moving without daily logins.

Content automation

Blog posts, service pages, and social drafts on a schedule. We draft, edit, format, and publish so your site never looks stale.

Website local signals

Consistent name, address, and phone details on your site, local landing pages, schema markup, and content that supports map and local search visibility. You maintain profiles on Google and other directories; we keep the website aligned.

Outreach & nurture

Email sequences, contact follow-ups, and partner outreach set up once and run on triggers. Good for local businesses that lose leads because nobody replied fast enough.

Reporting

One digest instead of five dashboards. Traffic, rankings, form leads, and search performance in a format you can scan in five minutes.

Build & technology

Fast sites and apps with the integrations, design, and automation everything else plugs into.

Websites & apps

Custom sites and web apps with payments, bookings, logins, and admin panels. Mobile-first, fast loading, built to convert.

Workflow automation

Internal tools, chatbots, data pipelines, and integrations that remove repetitive work from your staff. Built around how your operation actually runs.

Brand & design

Logo, colors, typography, and page layouts that look professional from day one. Especially important when you are launching something new.

Integrations

Stripe, TikTok, Google, CRMs, health APIs, and third-party tools wired into one product instead of a patchwork of disconnected logins.

Pricing

Website, SEO, GEO/AEO, and automation plans

Most agencies split this into a big upfront build plus separate SEO and marketing retainers. We bundle site, search, content, and automation into monthly plans so you know what you pay and what you get. Pay monthly, or prepay for a year and save 15%.

Founding client pricing is available while we build our early client base.
