After the Chicago-based tech company analyzes a small business’s online visibility and ranking, businesses can complete step-by-step tasks to strengthen their online presence.

The UpCity platform ultimately increases the amount of free traffic our clients receive via search engines, social media and local sites, and will provide a step-by-step, simple approach to help convert this traffic to revenue. -Dan Olson, CEO at UpCity
For new customers and existing businesses, pricing starts at $9.99 per month or $99.99 annually for the do-it-yourself plan through January 31st, 2013.
