Portland SEO services

Portland SEO that starts with the site.

Every Portland SEO engagement starts with an audit and a prioritized plan. Search strategy only works when the site and the business information behind it are accurate.

  • Technical SEO

    Crawl errors, indexing, redirects, page speed and structured data can prevent useful pages from being found. Our development team can work directly on templates and code when the problem lives there.

  • Local SEO in Portland

    We work on Google Business Profile information, category and location details, consistent listings and review strategy. A well-maintained profile makes it easier for nearby customers to verify the business.

  • Service-page content

    Condition, treatment, location and service pages need to answer the questions people ask before contacting a business. We organize content around those decisions and maintain useful internal links.

  • Generative engine optimization

    GEO works on entities, citations, schema and page clarity so AI-generated answers can interpret and reference the business. GEO is included in our SEO engagements.

  • SEO within a website build

    Site hierarchy, mobile performance, local schema, metadata and redirects are considered while the site is being designed, rather than left to a launch-day checklist.

  • Paid search coordination

    Organic and paid campaigns can support different searches and buying stages. Campaign work has its own scope.

Search work in practice

The numbers should be tied to the work.

Our SEO work combines technical improvements, content strategy, and ongoing optimization to help businesses improve their search visibility. These projects show how a focused approach can increase organic traffic and connect businesses with more of the people searching for their services.

Scope and costs

How much does SEO cost in Portland?

The starting point is the condition of your site and what search needs to contribute to the business. An audit establishes priorities; most SEO engagements run month-to-month. GEO is part of every SEO engagement, and a standalone AI Visibility Audit is also available for $1,800.

  • Basic SEO

    From $880 a month. A focused monthly program for technical issues, local search presence and the service pages with the clearest opportunity.

  • GEO program

    Typically $2,300 to $4,000 a month. A dedicated monthly scope addressing whether AI-generated answers can identify the business, interpret its services and cite useful pages.

Before you commit

Sometimes the answer is a smaller fix.

The first conversation is free. We explain what the audit suggests, including work that may not need an ongoing engagement.

  • An afternoon of profile updates

    When Google Business Profile needs corrected hours, categories or service information your team can update directly, we explain the changes and leave you to make them.

  • An unnecessary migration project

    If rankings fell because of missing redirects, restoring the correct mapping may resolve the immediate issue without a new website or extended SEO program.

  • Recovering every lost click

    Some informational searches are answered directly in Google. If inquiries remain steady, we look at the searches that matter before recommending a campaign to replace all missing traffic.

Changing search behavior

A click is one signal.

A traffic decline can come from broken site elements, changed rankings, different search demand or AI-generated results that answer a question on the search page. We start with the affected queries and pages, then decide whether the response is technical, editorial or strategic.

GEO addresses another part of discovery: whether business details are consistent, authoritative pages are clear and AI answers can refer to relevant sources. That may involve structured data, entity information or stronger explanations of a service. The work remains tied to the actual content and systems a business controls.

FAQs

SEO questions in Portland.

How much does SEO cost in Portland?

Basic SEO starts at $880 a month, and the dedicated GEO program typically runs $2,300 to $4,000 a month. Full SEO work is quoted after an audit, and a standalone AI Visibility Audit is $1,800. Most engagements are month-to-month. The plan and fee are confirmed before work begins.

Do I need a monthly retainer?

An ongoing program is useful when content, technical improvements and local optimization need steady work. A contained issue, such as a set of redirects, can be scoped as a one-time correction.

Why did organic traffic fall when our rankings look stable?

Search behavior, click-through rates and AI answers can change even when some tracked rankings do not. We inspect affected pages and queries before deciding whether traffic recovery is the right priority.

What is GEO and does it cost extra?

Generative engine optimization helps AI-generated answers interpret and cite a business. GEO is included in every SEO engagement; a dedicated GEO program or one-time visibility review may be scoped separately.

How long does SEO take?

Technical and Google Business Profile corrections can show movement within weeks. AI citations often take two to four months. Competitive organic terms generally take longer and require consistent work.

Which Oregon and Washington communities do you serve?

Portland, Beaverton, Hillsboro, Sherwood and Gresham in Oregon, and Vancouver, Washington, across the river. We also work on national projects.

Yes. Page templates, navigation, load speed, indexing and redirects can prevent good content from being found. Our developers can work on those problems directly.
