Serving the Houston metro
Local SEO agency in Houston
We get local service businesses into the map pack and the search results under it, in the suburbs and neighborhoods their customers actually search from. Houston is a ring of towns that each search on their own, and a campaign built for one address stalls at the Beltway.
Free. No call required. Sent to your inbox within 24 hours.

Why Houston is different
The suburbs are the market, and each one searches by name
Houston is spread across a huge area, and most of the people who live here live outside the Loop. Ask someone where they are from and they say Katy, Pearland, Cypress, or The Woodlands before they say Houston. They search the same way. An electrician in Katy will not show on the map for a homeowner in Clear Lake, and a clinic in The Heights will not show for a family in Sugar Land, however good the profile.
A profile pinned to one address reaches one slice of the metro. The rest of it needs pages with the suburb's name on them.
Then there is the weather. Air conditioners fail in the same weeks for everyone, and a storm sends the whole city looking for a roofer or a restoration crew at once. Google decides who shows up in those weeks based on what your profile and site looked like months earlier, so the build happens before the season.
The last difference is language. A large share of Houston households speak Spanish at home. For some trades a Spanish page on the site and a Spanish reply to reviews earn calls an English only campaign never sees. We check whether that is true for your trade before we suggest it.
Two spots on one page
The map gets the call. The listing under it closes the deal.
When someone in Houston searches for what you do, Google shows the map first and the regular results under it, and both are drawn around the suburb they are standing in. A business that holds a spot in both, in that suburb, gets the call.
We work both. Your Google Business Profile wins the map. Your website wins the listing under it. The audit checks where you stand in each.

How we work here
Built around how Houston searches
We measure your real reach first
We check where your profile ranks from a grid of points across the metro, from the Loop out past the Grand Parkway. One search from your own office tells you almost nothing. Everything after that is built on the grid.
We build pages for the suburbs by name
Nobody in Pearland searches for a roofer in Houston. They search Pearland, and a family in Cypress searches Cypress, so your site and profile are built around the names people type.
We set the profile up the way Google expects
Plenty of Houston businesses run from a truck or from home. Google calls that a service area business, and setting it up wrong caps your reach before any content work begins.
We put your license where people can check it
Electricians and air conditioning contractors hold a state license, plumbers hold one from their own board, and clinics have a state board. Any customer can look it up. Putting it on your site and profile gives Google and the customer something they can verify.
The work
What running a campaign in Houston involves
One flat retainer covers all of it.
Google Business Profile
The right categories, the services people search for, a service area drawn around where you actually work, photos, and posts. This is what wins the map.
Suburb pages
One page per suburb or neighborhood you want to win, each written for that area. These are what put you in the results under the map.
Listings that match
Your name, address, and phone the same on every directory Google compares, including the Texas and trade specific ones.
Review generation
A follow-up sequence that asks every finished customer at the right moment, in English or Spanish.
Monthly reporting
Where you rank on the grid, suburb by suburb, how that moved, and how many people called.
Your website
Built for local search from the start, with a page for every suburb and every service. Every client gets one.

Questions
What Houston owners ask us
Do you have to be based in Houston to rank my business here?
No. Every signal Google weighs belongs to your business: your location, your profile, your reviews, your site. We work with Houston companies remotely and nothing about that changes.
Can one Google profile rank across the whole metro?
No listing ranks from the Loop to the Grand Parkway. You win a core reach first, then push outward with suburb pages as the profile gains strength.
How long until I see results?
Usually three to six months to start seeing big results. Some suburbs move sooner, the dense parts inside the Loop take longer, and we tell you which yours is before you commit.
Our trucks go all over the metro. Do we need a second office?
Only if it is a real one. A second listing needs a staffed address with real hours, and a mailbox or a rented desk gets the whole account suspended. Until then the suburbs are covered by pages and by the service area on your profile.
Should our site have a Spanish version?
For some trades in some parts of the metro, yes, and we will tell you which. When it makes sense we build the pages properly, in Spanish someone would actually speak, and we set up the review replies to match.
What does it cost?
Campaigns start at $1,500 a month, flat, with no setup fee. Month to month.
