What Portland customers are searching for

We help dance studios get found across Portland — including the Pearl District, Hawthorne, Alberta Arts, Downtown, and the surrounding neighborhoods.
Why most dance studios miss out
Dance studios split between recurring kids' programs and one-time adult lessons (wedding dance, salsa) — most studios blur the lines and lose both.
Style-specific searches (ballet, hip-hop, tap, contemporary, salsa, ballroom) convert way better than generic 'dance' but most studios don't optimize for them.
Recital photos and competition results are the trust signals parents look for, but most studio GBPs are visually thin.
