Real Results From Businesses We've Worked With
Based in Marina Del Rey, here is what that work has looked like for other businesses we have taken on.
We took Gabriel at Peninsula Holiday Lights from page 4 of Google into the Map Pack (top 3) for his holiday lighting install business in the South Bay, Bay Area. Demand grew enough that he had to hire extra help last season, and his rankings, calls, and quote requests have kept climbing since.
We took Sara Southard at The Liquid Wanderer from no website and no rankings at all to page 1 of Google for her most important keywords.
Why Portland businesses end up stuck with "SEO" that does nothing
Reports, not results
A monthly PDF that never explains why rankings and calls have not moved.
Half-finished technical fixes
Broken links, missing schema, and slow pages quietly undoing every other SEO effort on the site.
No real keyword strategy
Content written for what sounds good, not what buyers are actually typing into Google.

Portland Is an Outdoor and Sustainability-Focused Market With a Strong Buy-Local Culture
That split shapes how local businesses actually get found online.
Outdoor & Sustainability-Focused Economy
Portland’s economy leans heavily on outdoor apparel, sustainability-focused businesses, and craft industries like coffee and beer.
Major Athletic & Apparel Hub
The Portland area is home to major athletic and footwear brand headquarters, shaping a design and marketing-heavy local business community.
Distinct Local Buyer Culture
Portland has a strong “buy local” culture that shapes how businesses need to position themselves in search compared to more corporate-driven markets.
Does GuestBrands have an office in Portland?
No, and we will not pretend otherwise. We work with Portland businesses remotely from our California base in Marina Del Rey. SEO work does not require a local office, it requires the technical fixes, content, and links that actually move rankings.
