The Problem

Portland has 30,000+ local businesses.
Most are invisible online.

National platforms aren’t built for Portland neighborhoods. They charge per click, bury locals, and don’t care about St. Johns or Sellwood.

Google buries locals
National chains and ad-buyers dominate search results. Local Portland businesses get pushed below the fold — or off the page entirely.
Yelp charges per click
Pay-per-click models punish small businesses. A single busy month can cost hundreds with no predictable return — and no neighborhood context.
No one built this for Portland
No existing directory respects Portland’s distinct neighborhood identity. Alberta Arts District is not Outer East — locals know that. Yelp doesn’t.

The Solution

PDX.Directory: neighborhood-first,
Portland-built, community-powered.

A flat-rate, no-surprises directory where Portland businesses earn real visibility through slots — organized by the neighborhoods their customers actually use.

Neighborhood-first discovery
Organized by Portland’s actual neighborhoods — not arbitrary city-wide search. Customers browse by where they live and work, surfacing your business naturally.
Verified profiles with analytics
Your listing includes a Verified owner badge, full business profile, and a dashboard showing impressions, clicks, and call data — no guesswork on ROI.
Slots = visibility + community
Buy slots to earn featured placement in your neighborhood. More slots = higher tier = stronger presence. Black, Blue, Red, Green, Gold — the goal is Gold.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about PDX.Directory sponsorship, slots, and tiers.

A slot is a unit of neighborhood sponsorship costing $1,000/yr. Your tier is determined by how many slots you hold in one neighborhood: 1 slot = Black, 2–3 = Blue, 4–5 = Red, 6–7 = Green, 8–10 = Gold. Tiers are additive — buy 1 more slot to level up. You never reset; you just add.
The founding rate is $1,000/slot/yr — locked forever for the first 10 businesses to claim any neighborhood slot. There is no tier requirement and no minimum. Once you claim a slot, that rate is locked as long as you remain a member.
Black (1 slot): Neighborhood Sponsor badge, logo in neighborhood section, quarterly newsletter logo, name on printed postcards. Blue (2–3): All of Black + featured search placement, monthly newsletter logo, quarterly social media mention, event sponsor wall. Red (4–5): All of Blue + above-the-fold placement, bi-monthly social feature, newsletter business spotlight, 1 event sponsorship/year. Green (6–7): All of Red + header logo/banner, monthly social feature, 2 event sponsorships/year, 1 custom campaign/year. Gold (8–10): All of Green + exclusive top-of-neighborhood branding, newsletter lead story, weekly social presence, priority at all events + co-host option, 2 custom campaigns/year.
A co-branded month-long push: newsletter lead feature + 4 branded social posts + homepage/neighborhood featured placement for that month. Green sponsors receive 1 per year; Gold sponsors receive 2 per year.
PDX.Directory hosts a monthly networking event for Portland businesses. Red sponsors get their name on the event sponsor wall. Green sponsors receive a table and host introduction. Gold sponsors get priority access, a featured intro, and the option to co-host one event per year.
Yes. You can claim slots in as many neighborhoods as you like. Each neighborhood's slots are counted independently for tier purposes. The Site-Wide plan gives you 1 slot in all 10 neighborhoods at once for $10,000/yr — then you can add more slots per-neighborhood to level up in specific areas.
When all 10 founding slots in a neighborhood are taken, general sponsorship opens at the then-current market rate. Your neighborhood is never a dead end — it just transitions from founding to general pricing.
You can cancel at any time. Your listing and slots stay active through the end of your paid term. Neighborhood changes are available once per year from your dashboard, subject to slot availability. If you cancel and rejoin, you pay the then-current rate — not your founding rate.
No free trial, no setup fee. Annual billing only. Membership is $500/yr. Neighborhood slots are $1,000/slot/yr, billed annually at signup.
PDX.Directory is built and operated by 1vsM — a Portland-based digital network with 150+ regional sites across the US. This directory is our commitment to making Portland's local business ecosystem more visible, neighborhood by neighborhood.
