The short answer

## How does home services SEO work in Portland, OR?

It works as two jobs done together, ranking and being named. For the question "best home services company in Portland, OR", AI named 14 companies, but only 1 also appeared on Google's first page. Directories fill 4 of the 9 results there. So we build your presence in both places, not just one, and we track both against your own baseline.

What it means

## Three things this tells you.

* ### Ranking alone will not name you
AI names companies that rank nowhere near Google's first page. Your company needs its own presence in the sources AI reads, not only a good Google position.
* ### Directories take space you could hold
Directories take 4 of the 9 spots on Google's first page. Your site competes for the other 5.
* ### Agencies get named by AI too
Only 2 of the 8 marketing agencies AI named came up more than once. The same gap exists for your company, so a consistent presence across sources sets you apart.
