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 Gresham captures come next. The questions Google shows under the Gresham results are the AEO half: how to tell if a plumber is overcharging you, what a roof repair costs, who the cheapest HVAC company is. A Gresham page that answers each in one sentence, with a price, 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 most Gresham trades the Local plan fits, because four of the top rows sit at a difficulty of zero.
Shorter than Portland on the zero-difficulty rows. Plumber, electrician, hvac, and gutter cleaning gresham are held today by sites with a domain rating between one and ten, so a page written for the search can rank inside the first three months. Roofing, at a difficulty of 41, takes the full three to six. The map moves on the profile work, usually inside two months.
Because Google found no Gresham page it liked better for ninth place. The result is a sign of how few Gresham roofers have a page written for the search. One page that names the services, the neighborhoods from Rockwood to Powell Valley, and the price to start takes that spot and the ones above it.
Yes. The office is at 1314 NW Irving St in Portland, twenty minutes west on I-84 or the Blue Line. The consultation is thirty minutes, at your shop, at the office, or on a call.
Roofers, plumbers, electricians, gutter cleaners, HVAC companies, and holiday light installers, one page each. Dentists, chiropractors, auto repair, and towing are the crowded Gresham 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.
