Local SEO companies
Washington businesses shortlist.
The Cascades split this state into two economies that share very little beyond a border. Seattle is one of the most expensive markets in the country to compete in. Spokane, three hundred miles east, is not. Anyone quoting one Washington price has looked at one side of the mountains.
What should you look for in local SEO in Washington?
Local SEO companies Washington businesses shortlist tend to be Seattle-based and Seattle-priced, which suits a Bellevue software firm and badly suits a Spokane contractor. The work is the same discipline. The competitive cost of it is not remotely the same number.
The second thing worth knowing is that Seattle's eastside suburbs behave as their own markets. Local SEO services Washington campaigns built around the city name reach an audience that largely searches for Bellevue, Redmond or Kirkland instead. The publishing rule this page follows is on the locations hub, and the local search work behind this is identical on both sides of the Cascades. What it costs to win is not.
Every major Washington metro
SEO services Washington businesses buy statewide are usually built for one side of the Cascades and applied to both.
Among the most competitive markets in the country for most service categories, and one where the eastside suburbs rank separately from the city.
Adjacent to Seattle and priced nothing like it. Frequently the better value market for businesses that can serve both.
A different economy on the other side of the state, with materially lower competition and faster results for comparable work.
Part of the Portland metro in practice, which means the competitive set is largely in another state. Campaigns here need to account for that.

How it differs by industryWhat we can and cannot show you here
Most SEO companies Washington businesses compare will point to a Seattle win. This is what we can show for Washington, and what we cannot.
The Cascades split Washington into two markets with very different costs of competing. That research ran before a word of this page was written.
The Washington keyword set decided this page’s headings, metros and questions, rather than being added to decorate them.
We do not have a published case study in this state yet. Rather than move a result here from somewhere else and hope nobody checks, here is what we do have: the market research above, which we ran before writing this page, and results in other markets that we name honestly. When we have a client here worth writing about, this section changes.
