Portland SEO That Turns Search Into Customers
Send your site and I’ll go through it myself.
Everything your business needs to get found
SEO
Search engine optimization
SEO gets you ranking for what your customers actually search. Service pages built on real queries, a Google Business Profile tuned for the map pack, and the technical work that lets Google index both.
AEO / GEO
Answer and generative engine optimization
AEO and GEO get you cited when the answer replaces the list of links. ChatGPT, Gemini and Google’s AI Overviews name a handful of sources. We work on the content, reviews and mentions they pull from.
Website design
Design, build and copy
Website design decides what happens after the click. Fast pages, clear structure, and a route to calling you that holds up on a phone.
Three businesses, three very different problems

“Before Hayden, I had no idea what I was doing with my SEO. Hayden helped me rank top three in my area, bringing me so much more business. He really knows what he’s doing!”
Your customers are asking AI. We make sure it answers with you.
ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, Perplexity and Google’s AI Overviews now answer the question outright, citing a handful of sources instead of listing ten links. Getting into that handful is its own discipline, and it is part of every engagement we run.
Copy worth quoting
These systems cite sentences they can lift cleanly. We write pages built to be quoted, not pages stuffed with keywords.
Reviews, placed on purpose
White-hat review strategy aimed at the specific profiles and platforms these models actually read from.
Mentions that carry weight
Directory and citation work on the sources that count, rather than everything with a submit button.
No llms.txt files, no schema theatre, none of the untested advice currently being sold as AI strategy. Several of our clients are cited by name today.
What to expect
Three things land in your inbox, on a schedule, whether the news is good or bad. Here they are.
The audit, in writing
Where you stand today against the competitors already outranking you. And the openings we would go after first, in the order we would take them.
- Service pages missing 12
- Map pack position #14
- Page speed Slow
- Profile claimed Yes
My actual phone number
Not a ticket queue and not an account manager reading a script. The person doing the work tells you what changed, in language you can repeat to your team.
Six new service pages went live this morning — Beaverton, Tigard and Lake Oswego are all indexed.
Anything you need from me?
Nothing. Numbers on Friday.
One page, every month
What moved, what it earned you, and what happens next. If a number went the wrong way that month, it is on the page too.
ChangedTwo service pages reached page one.
NextDirectory placements, review push.
What happens and when
Every engagement runs to the same shape. You always know which stage you are in and what is being worked on.
-
Month 1
Foundations
Your Google Business Profile optimized, your business details made consistent everywhere they appear, and analytics set up so everything from here is measurable. Quick wins on the pages you already have.
-
Months 2–4
Pages that can rank
Fifteen or more new service and location pages, each built around a search your customers are actually making rather than a page you happen to want.
-
Month 5
The technical pass
Deep on-page work and schema markup across the whole site, a crawling and indexing push so Google actually sees it, and a review that keeps your site and your Google profile telling the same story.
-
Month 6
Authority
Backlinks and directory placements that make your site more credible to Google than the competitors you are trying to outrank.
“They were extremely communicative, on time, and explained everything they were doing. It was clear they really cared about me and my business being successful.”
Most business owners I meet have never done SEO. The ones who have usually can’t tell me what they got for it. That gap is what Levitate is built to close.
We get businesses found where their customers are actually looking, in Google, in the map pack, and increasingly in the AI answers starting to sit above both. No shortcuts, and no tactics that worked five years ago and get you penalized today. We explain the work in language you can repeat to your own team.
The goal was never rankings. It’s more customers.

This is what ranking actually looks like
Every dot is a search from a different spot around the business. Green means top 3 in the map pack right there. This is the same business, same location, before Levitate and after.
