Our SEO services
Technical & On-Page SEO
We audit your site's foundation: speed, structure, and content quality. Then we fix what's holding you back from ranking. This is the unglamorous, essential work that makes everything else possible.
- Site speed & core web vitals
- Content optimization & keyword strategy
- Technical crawl audits & fixes
- Schema markup & structured data

Portland SEO agency
How we build search visibility
Sproutbox is a Portland-based SEO agency. We focus on organic search visibility for small and mid-sized businesses through technical SEO, on-page optimization, content strategy, and link building. Our SEO work also feeds into our GEO practice, which focuses on getting clients cited in AI-generated answers from tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity.
Most SEO agencies optimize for rankings. We optimize for revenue. A client ranking for keywords that nobody converts on has a traffic problem, not an SEO win. A Pacific Northwest retail chain we work with grew organic traffic by over 400% after we rebuilt their content architecture around buyer intent rather than just search volume. That is the difference between SEO that looks good in a report and SEO that actually moves the business.
Our Process
How we get SEO results.
We dive into your current search performance, technical health, and competitive landscape. This isn't guesswork — we identify the highest-leverage opportunities specific to your business and market.
We handle the technical heavy lifting: site speed, crawlability, internal linking structure, and content optimization. This is where most sites gain their biggest early wins.
We create and promote content that ranks and converts. Then we earn links and mentions through outreach, partnerships, and strategic distribution — building the trust signals Google looks for.
SEO isn't set-it-and-forget-it. We track rankings, traffic, conversions, and algorithm shifts. We adapt our approach based on what's actually moving the needle for your business.
Our Team

SEO is a long game and we're good at it. We're not running tricks. We build real visibility through content and strategy that earns authority over time.

Why Sproutbox
What sets us apart.
We're not a big agency that treats you like a number. We're a Portland-based team that gets to know your business, stays consistent, and tells you the truth about what's working.
Ranking for keywords nobody's searching for is pointless. We research real customer intent and target the searches that bring qualified leads.
Your site could be invisible to Google just because of technical issues nobody's talking about. We audit and fix site speed, crawlability, mobile friendliness, and core infrastructure.
Great SEO content reads naturally and ranks well, not keyword-stuffed garbage that nobody wants to read. We write for humans first, search engines second.
Real SEO takes months, not weeks. We're honest about timelines and focus on sustainable growth, not shortcuts that Google will punish.
The entire Sproutbox team has done an outstanding job helping Plaid Pantry better focus and improve your brand image. I highly recommend any company and especially any Portland company to reach out to them!

How long until SEO actually works?
3-6 months for meaningful results. It's slow, but the traffic that comes sticks around.
Is SEO dead because of AI?
No. Search is evolving, but organic traffic is more valuable than ever. We're adapting strategy, not abandoning it.
What's the difference between paid and organic search?
Paid stops the moment you stop paying. Organic grows over time and compounds. Both matter, but organic wins long-term.
Do I need SEO if I'm doing ads?
Yes. Ads are expensive and temporary—SEO builds a foundation that pays off for years.
How do you know SEO is actually working?
Organic traffic increases, leads from search go up, and you rank for keywords that matter. We track everything.
What if I'm in a super competitive industry?
Then SEO takes longer and costs more—but the payoff is worth it. We focus on niches where you can actually win.
Schedule a 30-min call.
Thirty minutes to talk about your business. Where you are, where you want to go, and whether we're the right fit to help you get there.
No pitch deck. No pressure. And no long-term contracts. We'd rather earn your business every step of the way.
