Search in Portland
What it takes to be found in Portland.
Portland is a crowded search market. A search for "web design Portland" returns hundreds of agencies, and "near me" searches in Alberta, Hawthorne or the Pearl are won by whoever has the most complete Google Business Profile and the most recent reviews, not the biggest firm.
What works here is specificity. Portland Eco House ranks for "vegan hotel portland" and "urban farming portland" because its site has real pages about those things, not a generic home page. Wisdom of the Elders shows up for each storyteller's name because every elder has a page.
So that's how I work in Portland: a page for every service and every neighborhood you serve, a Google Business Profile that stays active, and a blog that answers what Portlanders actually type into Google and ChatGPT.
Why PortlandI moved to Portland in 2011 and built my first hand-coded sites at Dealer Spike before founding Creative Edge in 2015. The Google Business Profile is here, and so are two of the case studies below.

01Do you meet with clients in Portland?
Yes. I'm in Portland regularly and happy to meet in person for a kickoff or a review. Most of the work happens over video and email, which keeps it moving no matter where either of us is that week.
02How much does a website cost in Portland?
Websites are part of the monthly plans, which start at $575 a month and include the site, hosting, SEO, local SEO and new content. Month to month, no long contracts. The pricing page has the full breakdown.
03Can you help me show up in the Portland map pack?
Yes. That's the Google Business Profile work: categories, photos, weekly posts, reviews and consistent listings. For a Portland business with a real address, two to four months of steady work usually gets you into the top three for your main searches.
04What kinds of Portland businesses do you work with?
Vacation rentals and property managers, nonprofits, trades and services, restaurants and shops. The common thread is a small business that needs to be found on Google without a marketing department.
05Do you also do AI search?
Yes. Every site I build is written and structured so ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and Perplexity can read and cite it: clear answers, schema markup and real local detail. Portland searches are already shifting that way.
