Company Profile

WebRanking, a division of Locology L.L.C., is an Internet Marketing and Search Engine Optimization (SEO) company located in Portland, Oregon with a new satellite branch located in Eden Prairie, Minnesota. WebRanking was founded in the spring of 1998 with the vision of providing high quality internet marketing services founded in trust, integrity and solid business ethics.


Over the years, we have seen the internet transform in many ways, with search engines pioneers like Alta Vista, Excite, Infoseek & Northern Light laying the groundwork for the emergence of Google, today’s current heavy hitter. Things have certainly changed since 1998, as we see Paid Search, Blogs and Social Media Sites like Facebook, Digg and Twitter begin to establish themselves as viable and profitable online marketing options. As new Search Engine Marketing (SEM) opportunities become available, we are dedicated to embracing these changes and adapting our services to them, while still providing comprehensive and results oriented online marketing campaigns for our clients.

We understand the challenges and dreams of the Internet community and continue to look for new and innovative ways to address and fulfill the needs of our valued clients.
