FAQ
Portland SEO questions, answered
What does an seo company in Portland actually do?
We improve how you show up when Portland buyers search. That means your Google Business Profile, reviews, service pages, location pages and technical health. We also work on AI answers. Learn more about our SEO services.
How do you help me show up in the map pack?
We tighten your Google Business Profile, build a steady review flow and align your site with your service area. Our check found a map pack on 11 of 12 Portland searches. See local SEO.
What is the difference between SEO and GEO?
SEO earns you rankings in Google. GEO gets you named by ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini. Both matter, and the work overlaps. Read our guide on GEO vs SEO.
Do I still need Google if AI assistants name businesses?
Yes. Google still sends most local buyers. Our own measurement found only 13% of AI-cited sites ranked in Google's top 10 for the same question. So you need both. See where AI gets its information.
