The Four Phases

How We Do It

No black boxes. No vague promises. Here is exactly what we do and why.

SEO analytics and data strategy
01Phase 1

Research & Discovery

Know the battlefield before the battle.

Every successful SEO campaign starts with intelligence. We spend significant time at this stage because mistakes here compound downstream. We conduct a deep analysis of your current site health, your competitors' strategies, and the full keyword landscape for your industry and location — including local Oregon searches and Portland metro keyword opportunities. We identify which terms have the highest commercial intent — meaning people searching them are ready to buy — and we uncover gaps your competitors have missed.

Deliverables

Full site technical SEO audit
Competitor keyword & backlink analysis
Keyword universe mapping (volume, intent, difficulty)
Local search landscape analysis
Content gap identification
Priority opportunity ranking
02Phase 2

Strategy Development

A clear roadmap, not a collection of tactics.

With the research complete, we build a comprehensive strategy document that outlines exactly what we'll do, in what order, and why. This isn't a generic "SEO plan" — it's a custom blueprint for your specific business, goals, and competitive landscape. You'll know precisely what's being done and what outcome to expect from each initiative before we execute a single tactic.

Technical fix prioritization roadmap

03Phase 3

Execution

Strategy without execution is daydreaming.

This is where the work happens. Our team executes the strategy with precision and consistency. On-page optimization covers everything from title tags and meta descriptions to internal linking architecture and content structure. We create or optimize content targeting your priority keywords. On the technical side, we resolve Core Web Vitals issues, fix crawl errors, and optimize site structure. Our outreach team builds high-authority backlinks through legitimate, white-hat methods that pass Google's scrutiny.

Results Tracking & Reporting

Transparency in everything we do.

SEO is a long game, but that doesn't mean you should be left in the dark. We provide monthly reporting that shows exactly where your rankings stand, how organic traffic is trending, and what actions we took during the month. Every report is tied back to business outcomes — not just keyword positions. When something's working, we double down. When something needs adjustment, we adapt fast. You always know what's happening and why.

Deliverables

Monthly keyword rank tracking report
Google Analytics traffic analysis
Google Search Console insights
Backlink profile monitoring
Conversion & lead tracking
Next-month action plan
