I’m excited to share a meaningful milestone in the story of Ice Nine Online! This year marks 12 years since I launched Ice Nine Online with a simple mission: to help businesses grow online through smart strategy, education, and measurable results. Reflecting on more than a decade in this industry fills me with gratitude for the clients, partners, and team members who’ve made this journey possible.
Since our start in 2014 in Chicago, we’ve grown steadily, not as a large firm with layers of bureaucracy, but as a trusted partner that gets work done and educates along the way. Over the years, we’ve built hundreds of SEO-optimized WordPress websites, crafted and optimized SEO/GEO and online advertising campaigns, and trained countless marketers to understand digital marketing and strategy.
What’s truly humbling is how clients have responded to that effort. Across platforms like Google, Clutch, UpCity, and others, Ice Nine Online holds an aggregate rating near 4.8-4.9 out of 5 stars, with feedback consistently highlighting our communication, responsiveness, project management, and ability to deliver results that matter.
Here’s a snapshot of what clients are saying:
- “Exceeded our expectations with organization, communication, and delivery… expert-level web design and coding skills.” — Geostructural Construction VP
- “Results we’ve seen are miles ahead of our previous vendor… they feel more like online business consultants than just an SEO company.” — Pest Pros of Michigan Director
- “Professional, communicative, and focused on what we cared about… delivered on time and stress-free.” — Cirque Analytics VP
These reviews reflect not just satisfaction, but also long-term partnerships and trust, which I aim to earn in every engagement.
I also want to acknowledge my consultants and collaborators. Your expertise, commitment, and craftsmanship are key to enabling results for our clients. Thank you for helping us make every project stronger than the last.
Looking forward, the digital landscape continues to shift faster than ever, and so do we. Whether it’s new approaches in search, AI optimization, analytics, or paid media, Ice Nine Online remains committed to developing effective, transparent strategies that help our clients succeed in today’s competitive environment.
Thank you again to everyone who’s supported this journey. Here’s to 12 years and many more of innovation, partnership, and impact!
With appreciation,
Matt Chiera
Founder, Ice Nine Online
