Frequently Asked Questions
Why am I ranking in the Map Pack at my office but invisible 2 miles away?
Google’s algorithm weighs proximity heavily. If your prominence signals are weak, your ranking radius collapses strictly to your physical address. We expand that radius by engineering stronger local prominence through targeted backlinks and citations.
How do you measure success if you do not guarantee the top spot?
We measure success through coordinate based geogrid tracking. You will see a verifiable mathematical increase in the number of green nodes across your target Portland zip codes over a 90 to 120 day period.
Does posting on my Google Business Profile actually improve rankings?
GBP posts have a negligible direct impact on your ranking coordinates. They serve primarily as a conversion rate optimization tool for users who have already found your listing, not as a primary ranking signal.
Why does Owen Dylan focus specifically on link building for Google Maps?
Once proximity is fixed and relevance is optimized, prominence is the only variable left to manipulate. High authority, locally relevant backlinks are the strongest prominence signals available to break a ranking tie in the local pack.
