The Portland Company was started by Spencer Hill, under a different name, in early 2005. By 2007 we contracted our first graphic designer began shifting from strictly a website development company to a full service internet marketing agency.

By 2009 we had design and programming staff that developed fully-featured WordPress websites and were developing our process for search engine optimization (SEO) services and other search marketing and social media marketing services. By 2011 we had multiple success stories of our clients not only ranking in the top three positions of Google’s first-page results, but increased sales and maximized conversion rates for customers.

Throughout this time we hired more staff to service our clients’ needs and officially introduced web application development as a service – typically complimentary to Website Development.

Today, we are a full service digital marketing agency offering strategy-first services as an email marketing company, conversion rate optimization services,

The Stone Fabricators Alliance came to us with a strong online and real-world community that thrived because the SFA provided a forum for stone fabricators across the globe to glean and share knowledge.

But the age of the website took its toll on the modern needs and wants of their community and Board. They came to us by referral from another delighted client expressing a desire to modernize the website and substantially increase the features and functionality.

So we completely replaced the archaic and buggy WordPress website with a cutting-edge Laravel web application that included custom built:
 

  • Forum - Advanced forums that included the ability for users to create and participate in Polls, vote on threads, moderation features, and more.
  • Forum Direct Messaging with Email Integration - Sometimes the public forums weren't enough so we introduced a direct messaging system that also allowed users to use the website or email to directly communicate with each other.
  • Event Management System - Including the ability to charge for events, set capacity limits, and accept payments through multiple payment processors.
  • Members Directory & Profiles - We significantly boosted their search engine ranked pages and overall rankings by introducing a Member Directory with the ability for members to create search engine indexed profiles to increase the leads and sales of their businesses.
  • Advanced Interactive Tutorial - We developed a highly interactive tutorial that included step-by-step guides and pointers triggered by specific actions taken by users to guide them through how to use key aspects of the website.

Blue Sky Exchange had been a long-time web development client of ours when he came to us regarding his Google Ads Account. Which had been managed by another firm that was doing well, but was not as aggressive to grow as he knew we would be.

In the first year we began managing his account 3rd and 4th quarter we had tripled his quarterly lead volume through well-considered keyword pruning, improved ad text, more selective targeting and on-site optimizations and tracking enhancements.

Here's what they say about The Portland Company: "The Portland Company has a broad knowledge of all things digital marketing and I appreciate their insights on new technologies and services that help improve our overall sales performance. They are true professionals and a pleasure to work with."

Bruce Hubbard MD's clinic was healthy and generating leads from Google Ads Management and other sources but there are massive holes in their reporting and attribution. It was through our forensic analysis that we identified the causes increasing reporting conversions by 7x! Once we had that in place we increase overall average conversions by 2-3x initially and have been around 4x in the recent quarter.

In early 2022 Beeblys Watercolor Painting suffered a catastrophic SEO crash after a staff member crashed their website and they had no adequate backups. In November of 2022 we began rendering search engine optimization services to them and within their first 30 days they began to see massive gains - as you can see in the screenshots on this page.

These gains continued into December and in about 6 months from the time from the beginning of our work they will begin to exceed pre-loss traffic and engagement.

This is what we do for clients. And we're capable of this because we create robust and comprehensive strategies which develop Actionable Steps Towards Measureable Results.

However, Suzy and the S3 team were so successful they simply couldn't keep up with the programming needs of the business as they grew. They wanted more talent and more bandwidth. So they looked up national website development companies and found us. We immediately began work on developing custom built WordPress Plugins and troubleshooting highly complex speed and stability issued with websites their clients had. To this day we continue to work with Suzy at S3 Solutions developing the next versions of their WordPress Plugins and web applications with cutting edge technology such as Laravel, VueJS and AngularJS.

The old watercolorpainting.com website was built in the early 2000's. It was visually unappealing to modern audiences seeking creative inspiration and lacked critical functionality for a subscription, membership and content website. We developed a massive, robust, platform for the new owner to grow beyond with.

We're also in the early stages of launching their social media marketing campaign. In their case this has involved extensive research and forensic data analysis of their historical analytics, and the analytics of their new website performance, their email marketing and advertising traffic to identify the highest performing content topics. We have also developed relationships with artists, on their behalf, to begin integrating them, and their content, with our strategic guidance to decide what content to produce, and our technical team to ensure it's syndicated effectively.
