Not all Portland Roofing Companies are local so why do they call themselves a Portland Roofing Company
This irritation is taking place all over the globe due to businesses advertising in areas they aren't actually located in. If the work that's being done is costly and a large job you can bet that people will be willing to travel long distances to do the job, however this is only good if the traveling service actually does a good job and exceeds local companies and prices.
You see companies that travel end up charging more so that they can cover their travel expenses including fuel, food and drink. This is a bit much for clients to pay for don't you think as you're already paying a lot for the service being done? This is being seen a lot in the Portland Oregon area with roofing companies and it's actually taking place on the internet. The internet allows people to advertise their services by targeting keywords such as, "Portland roofing service", however the issue is you can't limit it so that only roofing services within Portland advertise for these keywords, people from anywhere in the world can actually target these keywords and ruin it for the local roofing companies even if they don't provide a decent service.
The way the keywords work is quite simple, when people search for any sort of service these days they first search the internet and what do they use to do that? A search engine such as Google, Yahoo or Bing. In the search engine they'll type in something like, "roofing services Portland Oregon", and then they will be presented with results related to those keywords. This is how the companies get business through the internet by targeting keywords related to their business and then ranking high in the search engine results for those keywords. However the big issue is companies that aren't from Portland Oregon are targeting these keywords and ranking above other companies who are based in Portland, it doesn't mean their services aren't good because they aren't ranked higher it simply means the company outside of Portland has done more search engine optimization to get their keywords ranked higher, which isn't that fair.
This is why when you search for roofing companies in Portland on the internet and call them up, some of them aren't even located in Portland but you don't think twice about it because they were ranked for those keywords. You must think twice about it from now on as those companies will charge you more for fuel and other travel expenses. It's a much better idea to find a local roofing company to perform your roofing tasks for you, as you will be able to find good testimonials and reviews on their service and they are likely to have served thousands of clients in the Portland area. You will be able to put faith and trust in them to do the job effectively and right for a fair price. Just be sure to research the company that before going with them and make sure they are honest and have integrity.
