A heat-map grid of location pins displayed on a computer monitor in an office

    Local Visibility Audit

    for local service businesses in Vancouver WA and Portland OR

    A map of where your business shows up across your service area, and a straight answer on which assistants name you when someone asks.

    How can I tell if people two towns over can even find my business?

    Run a grid. Instead of one search from your office, it checks placement from dozens of points across your service area and shows each one as a pin. The pattern tells you the truth: strong near the shop, gone past the highway. That drop-off is where the calls you never hear about are going.

    What this actually includes

    A geo-grid check drops dozens of search points across your service area, colors each location green, yellow, or red based on placement, and pairs that map with a check of whether ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Mode and other AI assistants name your business correctly.

    The centerpiece is the grid. We drop a lattice of search points across the area you serve and check where your business lands from each one for the terms your buyers use. Green pins are top three. Yellow is four to ten. Red is past ten or absent. Seeing it laid out over a map is different from reading a rank number, because you can see the shape of your coverage and where it stops.

    Beside the grid runs the assistant check. We ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Mode and other AI assistants the kind of question a buyer would ask and record whether your business gets named, and if it does, whether the phone number, hours, and services they repeat are right. Wrong details get flagged the same as missing ones, because a confident wrong answer costs you the call.

    We add a short read of why the map looks the way it does: category fit, review volume relative to the businesses holding the pins you want, and the listing records that disagree with your profile. That part is diagnosis, not a work order.

    What this is not: it is not the field-by-field profile teardown. That is the Google Business Profile Audit & Consultation. This one answers where you show up. That one answers what is wrong inside the listing.

    Who this is for

    Owners who expanded their service area without confirming the expansion worked are the clearest fit, along with anyone comparing organic coverage against ad spend before deciding where new marketing dollars should actually go.

    Take the roofer who added Camas and Washougal to the service area two years ago. You added Camas and Washougal to the service area two years ago, you send trucks there, and the calls never came. The grid usually shows why in about four seconds.

    Electrical and med spa businesses use this before they spend on ads. If organic coverage is already strong in a zip code, paid money is better spent somewhere the map shows a hole.

    It also fits an owner who is about to sign with a marketing company and wants a baseline first. Take a grid before anyone starts. Without a before, no one can tell you what changed.

    How it works

    Submit your business name and service area with no card and no contract, and both the grid and the assistant check arrive in about 10 minutes as one document with full-size map images you can zoom into by neighborhood.

    Tell us your business name and the area you serve. No card, no contract. The audit is delivered in about 10 minutes.

    We run the grid and the assistant check, then send both in one document with the map images included at full size so you can zoom into a neighborhood.

    If you want, we walk you through it on a short call and mark the two or three areas worth attacking first. Most owners find one surprise on the map they would never have guessed.

    Nothing gets changed on your account. This is a read, not a repair. If you decide you want the repair work done, we will quote it separately and you are free to take the grid to anyone else instead.

    Serving Vancouver, Portland, and the Pacific Northwest

    Coverage stretches across Vancouver, Portland, Camas, Washougal, Orchards, Hazel Dell, Minnehaha, and Cascade Park, mapped by realistic drive time across river crossings rather than a straight-line radius, from a Vancouver, WA 98664 office running since 2012.

    Grids cover Vancouver WA and Portland OR plus Camas, Washougal, Orchards, Hazel Dell, Minnehaha, Cascade Park, Ogden, Forest Ridge, Meadow Homes, Vancouver Heights, Evergreen Highlands, and Ellsworth Springs. River crossings change what is realistic, so the map is drawn around drive time rather than mileage. Run from Vancouver, WA 98664, working with Pacific Northwest owners since 2012.
