SEO agency serving Dallas-Fort Worth and the US
Ichelon Consulting US is a cross-industry SEO practice operating out of a Dallas-Fort Worth delivery base and serving buyers across the United States and the wider US. On-page, technical, off-page and local SEO are treated as one integrated system — because a page that ranks means nothing if the crawl budget is being burned on faceted-URL noise, and a technically clean site means nothing if the content stack has no editorial spine.
- Ichelon Consulting US runs SEO on four surfaces at once — on-page, technical, off-page and local — because ranking movement in 2026 comes from all four moving together, not one in isolation.
- Industry-agnostic delivery: healthcare, SaaS, fintech, e-commerce, real estate, edtech, medical devices, pharma and manufacturing buyers are all served from the same DFW base with vertical-specific compliance overlays.
- Every engagement scopes the correct regulatory frame — HIPAA for healthcare pages, SOC 2 for SaaS, PCI-DSS for e-commerce, Fair Housing for real estate — before a single URL is written or a single link acquired.
- Technical work covers Core Web Vitals, crawl-budget shaping, faceted-URL discipline, JavaScript rendering audits, hreflang architecture and schema markup at production depth.
- Retainers custom-scoped per engagement · from $499/month.

“They were able to get all my ideas and work with me over a period of three to four months and create this amazing website. It's super customized, very modern, and it incorporates all the elements that I had wanted — the patient portal, nice pictures, a very interactive website, patient reviews. I would highly recommend their company to anyone who wants to make an excellent website.”
Six SEO services covering the four surfaces
SEO in 2026 is not a single lane. On-page work sets the answer surface, technical work sets whether that surface is even reachable, off-page work sets whether search engines treat it as authoritative, and local work sets whether it shows up in map packs. Our delivery spine covers all four in one engagement, without handing you off to a stitched-together vendor chain.
1. On-page SEO and content architecture
Topic-cluster mapping, pillar-and-hub structure, title/meta engineering, heading hierarchy, internal-link inventory, and page-intent alignment. Written for both traditional SERP and AI Overview citation from the first draft.
2. Technical SEO and Core Web Vitals
Crawl-budget shaping, faceted-URL discipline, JavaScript rendering audits, log-file analysis, canonical and hreflang architecture, image and font strategy, and Core Web Vitals remediation for the buyer's actual field data.
3. Off-page SEO and digital PR
Editorial link acquisition through digital PR, data-story pitches, industry-report placements and expert-source contributions. No link farms, no PBNs, no anchor-text spam — because a manual action reverses a year of gains overnight.
4. Local SEO and Google Business Profile
Multi-location Google Business Profile management via the Angryturtle GBP OS, NAP consistency across the citation graph, review generation, service-area pages, and localized landing pages for metro and neighborhood intent.
5. Schema markup and structured data
Organization, LocalBusiness, Article, Product, FAQPage, HowTo, Event, MedicalBusiness, FinancialService, SoftwareApplication and Review schema deployed as JSON-LD. Validated against Rich Results Test and monitored for regression after every deploy.
6. SEO reporting and equity protection
Weekly Google Search Console monitoring for cluster-level movement, 404 rescue, 301 redirect discipline through migrations and re-platforms, and quarterly equity audits so your best-ranking URLs never quietly slip.
Practice serving these US metros
Delivered from a Dallas-Fort Worth base, the SEO practice serves buyers headquartered across the DFW metroplex and clients operating nationally across the United States and neighboring US markets.
Every SEO deliverable is scoped against the correct regulatory frame
Angryturtle · SIE · YODA power the SEO engine
Modern SEO is no longer a single ranking surface. Traditional search results, AI Overview citations, YouTube discovery, and Google Business Profile pack listings each pull on different levers. Our three internal products cover the surfaces most SEO agencies still ignore.
Angryturtle · GBP OS
Multi-location Google Business Profile system that runs post cadence, review requests, Q&A moderation and photo hygiene across every location under management. The local-SEO surface most agencies leave to a spreadsheet.
SIE · Search Intelligence Engine
Topic-cluster planner that maps the full intent graph for a vertical, then translates it into pillar-and-hub content briefs written for both classic SERP and AI Overview citation from draft one.
YODA · YouTube AIO
YouTube ranking system that treats video as a first-class SEO surface. Optimized for classic YouTube discovery, YouTube shopping, and AI Overview citation from video transcripts on a 4-per-month cadence.
How the SEO practice runs day-to-day
Every US engagement inherits the operating rhythm of the wider Ichelon Consulting US practice — weekly cluster reviews, monthly strategy sessions with a senior reviewer, quarterly equity audits, and always-on Google Search Console monitoring against the cluster taxonomy defined at kickoff. Deliverables ship on a documented cadence, not on a "we will get to it" pretext.
Kickoff and audit · weeks 1–2
Baseline crawl, log-file review, indexation audit, backlink inventory, Google Business Profile health check, compliance-frame confirmation, and cluster taxonomy build in the first two weeks.
Foundation build · weeks 3–8
On-page remediation, technical fix backlog, schema deployment, internal-link inventory rebuild, and the first tranche of pillar content published against the cluster taxonomy.
Compounding phase · month 3 onwards
Weekly content ship, monthly digital-PR outreach, quarterly equity audit, and continuous Core Web Vitals monitoring. Cluster-level ranking movement reviewed weekly against the taxonomy from kickoff.
Backed by ICG global leadership
Every US SEO engagement has direct line-of-sight to the ICG Leadership Team and to a senior SEO reviewer who has taken sites through multiple algorithm updates without core-update whiplash.
Our own tools run inside every engagement
Ichelon Consulting US uses software built by our own product team. Practices can also use most tools on their own, billed in USD.
SEO agency in the US — common questions
Which industries does the US SEO practice cover?
Healthcare, SaaS, fintech, e-commerce, real estate, edtech, medical devices, pharma and manufacturing are the nine industries served today. Each carries a different compliance overlay — HIPAA for healthcare, SOC 2 for SaaS, PCI-DSS for e-commerce, Fair Housing for real estate — and every SEO deliverable is scoped against the correct frame before publication.
Do you cover technical SEO or only content?
Both. Technical work covers Core Web Vitals remediation, crawl-budget shaping, faceted-URL discipline, JavaScript rendering audits, hreflang architecture, canonical hygiene and schema deployment. A content program without a clean technical base is a compounding loss, not a compounding win.
How do you handle link building without triggering manual actions?
Editorial link acquisition through digital PR, data-story pitches, industry-report placements and expert-source contributions. No link farms, no PBNs, no anchor-text spam, no reciprocal link schemes, no low-quality guest-post networks. A manual action reverses a year of gains, and we do not take that trade.
How do you protect equity through a site migration or re-platform?
301 redirect map built at the URL level against the full historical inventory, hreflang re-mapped where relevant, schema re-deployed against the new template, Google Search Console monitored daily through the switchover, and a quarterly equity audit run after go-live for four quarters.
How does local SEO integrate with the wider program?
Local SEO runs through the Angryturtle GBP OS — multi-location Google Business Profile management with post cadence, review requests, Q&A moderation and photo hygiene. Standalone Angryturtle sits at $29/month for solo operators; multi-location integration is bundled into the wider retainer.
What is a typical US SEO engagement cost?
Retainers are custom-scoped per engagement · from $499/month. Multi-location, multi-country and regulated-industry engagements scale up from the floor; single-location single-country engagements sit closer to it.

Common questions
What is SEO in healthcare, and what does SEO mean for a medical practice?
Healthcare SEO is the work of getting a medical practice found in Google Search, Google Maps and AI answers when people search for its services, such as 'pediatric dentist in Plano.' It covers the Google Business Profile, service and location pages, clinician-reviewed content, technical site health, schema and reviews, all within HIPAA, FTC and state board advertising rules.
Is SEO still worth it for medical practices in 2026?
Yes. Most people still start their search for care on Google, and organic and map-pack listings bring calls without a per-click cost. What has changed is how to win: AI Overviews answer simple questions directly, so content must be expert, specific and structured to be cited, and local rankings depend heavily on reviews. Expect results in three to six months.
What does a healthcare SEO consultant or SEO company do?
A healthcare SEO company audits your site and Google Business Profile, fixes technical issues, builds service and location pages, writes or edits clinician-reviewed content, adds medical schema, earns relevant links and listings, and grows reviews. It tracks rankings, calls and bookings under a BAA with HIPAA-safe analytics. A consultant usually advises; a company usually does the work.
What is the 80/20 rule in SEO?
The 80/20 rule in SEO, borrowed from the Pareto principle, says roughly 80% of results come from 20% of pages or effort. For a practice, a handful of service pages, the Google Business Profile and reviews usually drive most new-patient calls. Find those pages in Search Console and analytics, and improve them before producing more content.
