Google's map, the results under it, and the AI answer. For Corvallis I read the first page for plumbing and roofing on September 7, 2026. Every company in the roofing pack is also on the organic page, and two plumbers rank on a domain rating of zero.
Three businesses per search, chosen from the Google Business Profile. For plumber corvallis the pack is Evenflo Plumbing, Albin's Plumbing, and Linn Benton Plumbing, and all three are also on the organic first page, Albin's at eighth on a domain rating of zero. For roofing corvallis it is IronHead Roofing on a page written for Corvallis, Eagle Point Roofing, and Alamo Roofing, and again all three are on the organic page below. In a town this size the map and the results are the same short list, and the profile and the page have to agree.

the three-pack for each search, September 7, 2026
Under the map for plumber corvallis: Evenflo second on a domain rating of six, Angi, Yelp, Judson's Corvallis page on seven, Roto-Rooter, Linn Benton on four, Albin's on zero, YellowPages, and Corvallis Plumbing Inc on zero. For roofing: Sprick Roofing second on 12, Yelp, Stutzman & Kropf's Corvallis page on 31, BBB, IronHead's Corvallis page on 26, Alamo on 12, Eagle Point on zero, and an r/corvallis thread tenth. Two plumbers on a domain rating of zero inside the top ten means a Corvallis company with a real page has nothing in the way.

ChatGPT does not read the map. It reads the review aggregators, the CCB license record, the BBB profile, and the company's own website, then names who it can verify. Gemini reads the Google Business Profile and names the map. I have captured both for six trades in Portland, and the Corvallis captures come next. In a college town the review sources the AI reads are thinner, so the company's own website carries more of the weight: the services by name, the neighborhoods, the price to start, and the license number on the page.

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 Corvallis trade the Local plan fits, because the searches are small and the sites holding them today have a domain rating between zero and twelve.
Shorter than Portland or Eugene. Plumber, gutter cleaning, and tree service corvallis are held today by sites with a domain rating of zero to seven, so a page written for the search can rank inside the first three months. Restaurants and apartments, the two large rows, are directory territory and take the full three to six. The map moves on the profile work, usually inside two months.
The office is at 1314 NW Irving St in Portland, ninety minutes up I-5. The consultation is thirty minutes on a call, and I come down for the site visit when the work needs one.
Yes. Apartments peak in spring and late summer, restaurants with the football schedule, and the trades with the weather like everywhere else. The content calendar in the plan follows the calendar the town runs on.
Roofers, plumbers, electricians, gutter cleaners, HVAC companies, and holiday light installers, one page each. Auto repair and dentists are the crowded Corvallis searches, and they start with the free consultation.
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.
