Local SEO, AEO & GEO
Local SEO, AEO & GEO in Vancouver, WA
Local SEO is the ongoing work that gets a small business showing up when someone nearby actually searches for what it sells — a fully built-out Google Business Profile, consistent listings across the directories that matter, and a website structured so Google, and AI tools like ChatGPT and Gemini, can read exactly what the business does and where. For a Vancouver or Portland-area business, that's the difference between being found and being invisible next to competitors who've already done the work.

What AEO and GEO mean
AEO (answer engine optimization) and GEO (generative engine optimization) are newer names for the same goal: when someone asks ChatGPT, Gemini or Google's AI Overviews who to call, your business is one they can name. It comes down to the same groundwork as local SEO — clear, consistent facts about your business that these tools can read and trust — so I treat it as one job, not three.

Questions
What is local SEO?
The work that gets a business showing up when someone nearby searches for what it sells — Google Business Profile, local directories, and a website structured so both search engines and AI tools understand what the business does and where.
How long does local SEO take?
Most businesses start seeing movement within 60–90 days. It compounds from there — SEO is closer to planting than flipping a switch.
How much does local SEO cost?
Starts at $1,500/month. Exact scope depends on how competitive your market is and how much groundwork already exists.
Do you serve Portland too?
Yes — Vancouver, WA is home base, but marketing work covers the whole Portland metro area, and beyond by arrangement.
Is there a contract?
No long-term contract. Month to month, so the work has to keep earning it.
Do you also build the website, or just the SEO?
Both, if you need it. A site with no SEO foundation and SEO work with nothing solid to send people to both cap out fast — worth pairing them.
