Grocery Stores in Chicago

The window

Grocery Stores work in Chicago

Chicago shoppers search for grocery stores by neighbourhood, by what they stock and by how they get there. The city has a dense grid of independent grocers, ethnic markets and chain locations, and the searches split along those lines. People search for a store near a specific El stop, for a market that carries a particular cuisine, for delivery to a particular ZIP code. The paid search around grocery terms in Chicago is dominated by the national chains bidding on broad terms, which leaves the specific neighbourhood and specialty searches as the demand a local store can own. Franchise banners and owner operators both compete here, and the owner operators tend to win the searches that name a street, a neighbourhood or a product.

The catchment

The areas a business in Chicago would name

Grocery demand in Chicago follows the train lines and the density of the neighbourhoods around them, so searches cluster by community area rather than by the city as a whole. A shopper in Logan Square searches differently from a shopper in Hyde Park, and the store that names the neighbourhood in its pages is the one that shows up. The work moves north and west along the Blue and Brown lines, south along the Red, and out to the suburbs where people drive. That means the searches people make carry a place name almost every time.

The year

When the work comes in across the year in Chicago

Grocery demand in Chicago moves with the weather, the school calendar and the holidays, and the searches shift with it. People plan big shops before a cold snap and before a holiday weekend, and they search for delivery when the sidewalks ice over. Publishing ahead of each run up means the pages are indexed and ranking before the searches start, rather than after. The store that has the page up in the quiet weeks gets the traffic in the busy ones.
