Why a system

Pieces don't compound. A system does.

Most local businesses buy marketing one piece at a time — a bit of SEO here, some ads there — and wonder why it doesn't compound. We run the channels as one system.

For a Portland business, that difference is booked work versus a busy-looking page nobody acts on.

One system · four channels working together in Portland
01
Local SEO & GBP
Map-pack rankings across Portland — the cheapest serious channel you have.
02
Google Ads
Buy the top of the page the moment SEO is still climbing.
03
Social & Content

04

A fast page that turns every click into a booked call.

Each channel makes the others cheaper

scorecard: leads & CPL

Portland is the largest city in Oregon, according to U.S. Census Bureau population estimates. The metro pairs a deep independent-business scene with big employers such as Nike in Beaverton and Intel's campuses in Hillsboro.

Portland shoppers look for a local name they can trust. Strong reviews, a complete Google Business Profile and a site that sounds like a real business often win the first click before any ad does.

We run local SEO, Google Ads, social and a conversion site as one system for Portland businesses, from the Pearl to Beaverton, and report on leads and cost per lead.

Frequently asked · Portland

Plain answers. No jargon.

Last updated

Do you work with businesses in Portland?
Yes. We work with Portland businesses from the Pearl District and Downtown to Hawthorne, Oregon Arts and west-side suburbs like Beaverton. We plan around your neighbourhoods and the competitors you see in your own searches.
You're based in Vancouver, BC. How does that work for a Portland business?
Everything runs remotely. Kickoff, reviews and monthly reports happen over video call and email on Pacific time. We're about a five-hour drive up I-5, so an in-person visit is possible when a project calls for one.
Portland customers prefer local businesses. Can marketing help us look local?
Yes. Your Google Business Profile, reviews, local photos and neighbourhood pages do most of that work. We make sure a shopper comparing you with a chain sees a real Portland business with real customers.
Which channel should a Portland business start with?
For most local businesses, start with your Google Business Profile and local SEO, backed by a focused Google Ads campaign. Portland buyers check maps and reviews early, so that's where you win or lose the first click.
How much does digital marketing cost for a Portland business?
Management starts at $1,500 a month for one channel and runs around $3,500 a month for a multi-channel system. Larger programs are priced to scope. Ad spend sits on top and bills from your own account to Google or Meta.
How long until we see results?
A tight Google Ads campaign can bring calls in the first few weeks. Map rankings and organic traffic build over three to six months, and they lower your cost per lead once they arrive.
Can you help us get more Google reviews?
Yes. We set up a simple text or email request after each job, draft replies if you want help, and track your rating over time. We don't buy or gate reviews. Google's policies prohibit it, and customers notice.
Do you work with retail, restaurants and consumer brands?
Yes. For retail and food businesses we lean on local search, Instagram and paid social to drive visits, and we track calls, direction requests and online orders.
Will our ad accounts stay in our name?
Yes. You own your Google Ads, Meta and analytics accounts, and ad spend bills to your card. If we part ways, the accounts and their history stay with you.
How do you track which marketing works?
We set up GA4, Google Tag Manager, conversion tracking and call tracking before we raise spend. Every lead maps to a source, so you can see which channel paid off.
Do we need a new website?
Sometimes. We audit speed, structure and conversion first. Plenty of Portland sites need a cleanup, not a rebuild, and we'll show you which one you need with numbers.
What do you report each month?
A one-page scorecard with leads, cost per lead, cost per customer and return on spend, plus what we changed and what comes next.
