Google's map, the results under it, and the AI answer. For Cannon Beach I read the first page for restaurants on September 7, 2026. The map is three restaurants, Eater and TripAdvisor bracket the page, and a lodge ranks ninth with a guest guide about where to eat.
Three businesses per search, chosen from the Google Business Profile. For cannon beach restaurants the pack is the Wayfarer, the Driftwood, and Pelican Brewing. The Wayfarer also holds the fourth organic result with four sitelinks, on a domain rating of 37, which is what a profile and a site that agree with each other look like. For hotels and rentals the map is the same three-slot contest, drawn from the profile's category, reviews, and photos.

the three-pack, September 7, 2026
Under the map: Eater Portland's Cannon Beach list second, then the questions, then the Wayfarer fourth with sitelinks, a Facebook group post titled where the locals go fifth, the Driftwood sixth on a rating of 29, the chamber's cannonbeach.org seventh, TripAdvisor eighth, the Ocean Lodge's guest guide ninth, and the Bistro tenth on 14. The lodge is the one to notice: it ranks for a restaurant search with a page answering where to eat, which is the AEO play for every hotel and rental in town. Things to do in cannon beach, at 1,500 a month and a difficulty of zero, is the same play with a larger prize.

ChatGPT does not read the map. Asked where to stay or eat in Cannon Beach, it reads TripAdvisor, Yelp, Eater, the chamber site, and the business's own pages, then names what it can verify: the hours, the view, the price, the dog policy. Gemini reads the Google Business Profile and names the map. The questions Google shows under the restaurant search are the AEO half, what the best restaurant in Cannon Beach is, and a page that answers it in one plain sentence, with the reason, is the page the answer box and the AI quote.

The consultation is free. I come back with the scope of the project and what I would recommend, and the pricing is published: three monthly plans, with the website included on Growth and Superior, and three website builds at a one-time price. You can stop after any step.
The same work at the same standard on every plan; the tiers differ in how much of it you get each month. Local is month to month. Growth and Superior include the website and run three months minimum. Most results start to show after three to six months; the first months lay the foundation: the site, the profile, the citations, and the pages.

The same as anywhere I work, and the prices are on the pricing page: Local SEO at $425 a month, Growth at $995, and Superior at $1,995, with the website included and built first on Growth and Superior. For a Cannon Beach lodge, restaurant, or rental company the Growth plan, with the website built first and the blog posts written, is the usual fit, because the visitor searches are large and the pages that win them are content pages.
The open rows move fast: things to do in cannon beach and cannon beach property management sit at a difficulty of zero, so a page written for each can rank inside the first three months. Hotels and restaurants, at 60 and 42, take the full three to six, and the map moves on the profile work inside two months.
Yes. The office is at 1314 NW Irving St in Portland, ninety minutes up Highway 26. The consultation is thirty minutes, at your place, at the office, or on a call.
Because the Ocean Lodge wrote a guest guide to where to eat in Cannon Beach, and Google took it as an answer. Every hotel and rental in town can do the same for restaurants, things to do, tide tables, and the weather, and each page brings the visitor to the site before they book.
Both. The trade pages on this site are for contractors because that is where the captures are. The plan is the same for a visitor business: the profile, a page per question the visitor asks, the reviews, and the records the AI reads.
SEO puts you in Google's results. GEO, generative engine optimization, puts you in the answer ChatGPT, Gemini, or the AI Overview gives when someone asks for a recommendation. AEO, answer engine optimization, gets your page quoted as the answer to a question, like the ones Google shows under every local search. They read the same pages and the same records, so I do them together.
