Helping Oregon businesses get cited in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google’s AI Overviews — so the buyers who skip Google still find you.
Your buyers have changed how they search. A Portland tech buyer researching a vendor no longer types five Google queries and reads ten blog posts. She asks ChatGPT once and gets a short answer with two or three recommended companies. If you are not on that list, you do not get the meeting.
Oregon is home to Nike (Beaverton), Intel (Hillsboro — the largest semiconductor manufacturing site in the US), Columbia Sportswear (Portland), Precision Castparts (Portland), Lithia Motors (Medford), Mentor Graphics / Siemens EDA (Wilsonville), Lattice Semiconductor (Hillsboro), Tektronix, Adidas North America (Portland), Daimler Trucks North America (Portland), plus the deep Silicon Forest tech base in Washington County and the outdoor and craft economy across Bend and the Willamette Valley. The decision-makers at those companies, and at the thousands of mid-market firms supplying them, run high-stakes vendor evaluations. They are exactly the audience adopting AI search the fastest.
The same shift is happening in the Silicon Forest semiconductor corridor around Intel Hillsboro and the new TSMC and Samsung expansions, in the Portland outdoor and sportswear ecosystem (Nike, Columbia, Adidas), in the Willamette Valley wine and agriculture base, in the OHSU healthcare and biotech corridor, and in the Bend tech and outdoor-rec startup scene. Wherever your buyer is in Oregon, they are increasingly asking an AI model for the shortlist before they ever land on your site.
Rank System AI exists to make sure your business is on that shortlist. We optimize for Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) — the two practices that decide which brands AI models cite, recommend, and hand to your prospects.
weekly ChatGPT users (OpenAI public disclosure, 2025). Your B2B buyers are inside this number.
of US Google searches now show AI Overviews (industry tracking, 2025). The share keeps climbing.
of US businesses have not yet optimized for AI search (industry tracking, 2025). The first movers in Oregon will own these citations for years.
Numbers are directional industry estimates as of 2026 and are refreshed quarterly.
Oregon’s economy is anchored by semiconductors, athletic apparel, and outdoor lifestyle brands. We tune our AEO and GEO process to the buying patterns of these eight sectors.
Intel (Hillsboro — largest US semiconductor manufacturing site), Lattice Semiconductor (Hillsboro), Mentor Graphics / Siemens EDA (Wilsonville), Tektronix, Lam Research, plus the dense Silicon Forest supplier base. We help semiconductor and advanced-manufacturing firms get cited when fab procurement runs RFQs.
Nike (Beaverton HQ), Adidas North America (Portland), Columbia Sportswear (Portland), KEEN Footwear, Dr. Martens AmericasOps, Hydro Flask (Bend), Black Diamond (regional ops), plus the dense outdoor and DTC ecosystem. We help athletic and outdoor brands show up when shoppers ask AI models for product recommendations.
Puppet (Portland), New Relic (Portland), Jama Software, Vacasa, Tripwire, plus the dense startup ecosystem at PIE, the Pearl District, and the Eastside tech corridor. AI models decide who gets evaluated. We help SaaS and cloud firms become the obvious recommendation for their category.
Anchored by OHSU and the Knight Cancer Institute, Providence Health, Legacy Health, Kaiser Permanente Northwest, plus the biotech base around OHSU and the South Waterfront. We build the citation footprint that gets hospitals, device makers, and healthtech vendors recommended.
Umpqua Bank (now Columbia Banking System), Schnitzer Steel finance ops, plus a deep RIA and wealth bench across Portland and the Lake Oswego area. We position banks, RIAs, fintech firms, and insurance specialists so AI tools recommend them when prospects ask about advisors, lending, or planning.
The Willamette Valley wine region, Tillamook (dairy), Bob’s Red Mill, Stumptown Coffee, Salt & Straw, plus the dense craft-brewing ecosystem across Portland and Bend. We work with food brands and craft producers to get cited in AI answers about ingredients, sourcing, and category leaders.
Weyerhaeuser legacy, Boise Cascade, Roseburg Forest Products, plus the deep timber and wood-products base. We work with forestry, wood-products, and proptech firms to get cited when commercial buyers research.
AI is changing how prospective clients research attorneys, especially for IP, environmental, business litigation, and family law. We position Oregon firms — solo, mid-size, or large — to be the firm AI cites when a Portland, Eugene, Salem, or Bend client asks for help.
We map exactly where your brand currently shows up — and does not — across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Google AI Overviews, and Bing Copilot. You see your starting score, your top-three competitors’ scores, and the queries you are losing.
Most Oregon businesses have weak or fragmented entity data. We fix it. Wikidata, Google Knowledge Panel, schema.org, industry directories, third-party knowledge graphs — all aligned, all consistent, all pointing back to you.
Traditional SEO content does not get cited by LLMs. We rebuild your highest-value pages and create new ones in the structure AI models actually pull from — clear answer blocks, defensible claims, structured comparisons, clean entity references.
AI models trust what other trusted sources say about you. We pursue mentions, reviews, and references across the publications and directories the AI models weight most heavily for your category and geography.
You get a monthly report showing your AI visibility score, your citation count, your competitors, and the prompts you now own versus the ones still up for grabs. We iterate every month.
We work with businesses across the state. Our most common engagements come from these metro areas:
We also serve businesses in Lake Oswego, Wilsonville, McMinnville, Klamath Falls, Grants Pass, Aloha, Tualatin, Oregon City, and the surrounding metros.
ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Google AI Overviews, and Bing Copilot each weight content differently. We track all six and tune for the ones your buyers actually use.
The thing that moves revenue is whether your brand gets cited when a prospect asks a real buying question. That is what we measure and what we report on.
Cleaning up Wikidata entries, fixing knowledge graphs, aligning schema across a site — it is unglamorous work, and it is the foundation of AI visibility. We do it.
This is what we do. Every system, every report, every playbook is built for AI search — not bolted on to an SEO service line.
Started with zero AI citations across the major models. After ninety days of entity setup, content rework, and citation building, the company was being recommended in ChatGPT and Perplexity for its top three product queries. The fab procurement teams who used to find them on page two of Google were now hearing the brand name first.
The competitor was already showing up in AI answers when shoppers asked for category leaders. We rebuilt the knowledge graph and got the brand cited in Gemini and Claude for its specific category. Inbound demo and partnership requests sourced from AI-led searches went up.
The competitor was already showing up in AI answers. We did the audit, found the structured-content gaps, and rebuilt the cornerstone pages. Within a quarter the firm was being cited for the high-intent queries the partners cared about.
Examples reflect typical engagement patterns. Specific results depend on industry, starting position, and category competitiveness.
SEO gets you ranked on Google’s blue links. AEO and GEO get you cited inside ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews — where an increasing share of your buyers start. Most OR businesses already do SEO. Almost none are optimized for AI search yet, which is why the window is open.
Most clients start seeing citation movement in 60 to 90 days. Full visibility for high-intent queries usually takes 4 to 6 months. Semiconductors, healthcare, and finance take longer because the AI models are more conservative in those verticals.
Yes. Our process is the same whether you are in Eugene, Salem, Bend, Medford, Hillsboro, or a smaller community. AI models do not care about geography the way Google’s local pack does — they care about authority signals, which we can build for any Oregon business.
We have packages built for small Oregon businesses, mid-market firms, and enterprises with multiple product lines. The audit is free.
No. We work alongside your existing SEO team, content agency, or in-house marketers. AEO and GEO are additive layers on top of solid SEO foundations.
Monthly reports showing your citation count by AI platform, your visibility score versus your top three competitors, the prompts you now win, the prompts still up for grabs, and the revenue-relevant queries we have moved you on. No vanity metrics.
Highly regulated and B2B-heavy categories require specific entity work — IATF / ISO certifications, FDA references, sustainability and brand-safety credentials. We build that into the content and schema layer so AI models treat your firm as a credible reference.
It is mostly technical content and entity work, and we do the heavy lifting. Your team reviews and approves. The lift on your side is usually one or two hours of subject-matter input per month after the initial audit.
We benchmark your brand across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Google AI Overviews, and Bing Copilot, compare you to your top three Oregon competitors, and hand you a written report with the queries you are losing and the ones you can win first.
No sales pitch. No pressure to buy. Even if we never work together, the report is yours to keep.
