Strategy
What does the data mean for a Portland business?
Four findings stand out in the Portland figures. Each one changes where time and budget should go first.
- Largest demand: plumber
- 1,900 searches a month, 19% above the median of the 30 cities we track. Ranking difficulty for this search is 38 out of 100.
- Most expensive click: personal injury lawyer
- Advertisers pay about $52 for one click on this search. At that price, 100 clicks cost about $5,200. A page that ranks for it without ads is worth far more than one that ranks for a cheaper search.
- Easiest opening: web design
- Ranking difficulty is 26 out of 100, the lowest of the seven searches, with 1,000 searches a month. The hardest is personal injury lawyer at 67.
- Where Portland differs most: roofing
- Demand is 1.2 times the 30-city median, 880 searches a month. The lowest against the median is personal injury lawyer, at 49% of it.

Which parts of the Portland area do you cover?

Portland is on Pacific Time, 12 hours behind Pakistan in summer and 13 in winter. A suburb gets its own page only when there is something specific to say about it, never by swapping the place name, which is how doorway pages are made.
