At Clutch, we believe trust is the foundation of every business relationship. Our mission is to help buyers make confident, data-backed decisions informed by real client experiences.
Every review on Clutch undergoes a rigorous, human-led verification process to make sure it’s valid. Our team of specialists confirms the identity of each reviewer, ensures the project is legitimate, and only publishes reviews that meet our strict criteria.
Verification doesn’t stop at the point of publication. Our Trust & Safety team routinely audits older reviews against our guidelines. When reviews fall short of our standards, we remove them.
We evaluate service providers using a structured methodology that combines:
- In-depth client interviews and ratings
- Comprehensive project details
- Market presence
- Portfolio examples and industry recognition
This data powers tools like the Leaders Matrix, which helps you compare agencies directly. Our research team curates rankings by weighing verified reviews most heavily, so the most trusted and experienced providers rise to the top.
Using this unique combination of verified client feedback and provider-supplied insights, Clutch distills the most important details into clear, digestible summaries so you have everything you need to make confident, informed decisions quickly.
We take fraud seriously. Providers who violate our guidelines may face lower rankings, restricted visibility, or removal from the platform altogether.
Clutch’s commitment to transparency is ongoing. We’re constantly refining our systems to protect the integrity of reviews and support you in finding the right agency.

Understand the difference between a brand refresh and a complete rebranding with this guide to the how and why of brand updates and identity overhauls.
Chicago PR Agency FAQs
Choosing the right PR firm in Chicago can raise a lot of questions, from pricing to how local agencies work within the city’s media landscape. Below, we’ve answered some of the most common questions businesses have when searching for a public relations partner in the Windy City.
PR agency rates in Chicago can vary widely depending on the firm’s size, specialty, and scope of work. On average, small to mid-sized agencies charge between $3,000–$10,000 per month. Some agencies also offer hourly or project-based pricing for campaigns, starting around $100 per hour, according to Clutch PR projects.
Yes! Chicago is known for its vibrant community of boutique PR agencies. Smaller firms often offer more personalized service and have local connections with specific industries or neighborhoods. They’re a great option for businesses looking for hands-on attention and a team that’s tightly embedded in the Chicago scene.
Start by outlining your PR goals: are you focused on media coverage, events, crisis management, or influencer outreach? Next, research Chicago PR firms that specialize in your industry or needs. Look for local case studies, client testimonials, and press wins. Schedule consultations with a few firms to assess their approach and cultural fit. It’s smart to ask about their relationships with Chicago media, experience with local campaigns, and success metrics.
Chicago PR agencies work across diverse sectors, including healthcare, finance, tech, hospitality, nonprofits, and consumer products. Some specialize in niche markets like food & beverage or real estate, while others offer broader full-service PR solutions. Whether you're a startup in Fulton Market or an established brand in River North, there’s a PR firm with relevant industry experience.
Working with a PR agency in Chicago means partnering with professionals who understand the city’s unique media landscape, cultural events, and business climate. Local firms often have direct relationships with Chicago journalists, influencers, and event organizers. All this gives you a better chance of earning targeted press coverage and community visibility.
