SEO and marketing
across Texas.

We are in Cypress, twenty-five miles northwest of downtown Houston. That matters less than agencies usually pretend, except in the ways it genuinely does: we know which suburbs behave like their own markets, and we have been outranked in enough Texas cities to know why.

The short answer

Why does local SEO in Texas need a local team?

Because Texas is not one market, it is four metros that behave nothing alike.

A plumber in Katy and a plumber in Plano are not competing with each other and never will be. They are competing with the eight other plumbers in their own suburb, which is what the map results actually rank. Statewide thinking produces statewide content and neither ranks anywhere.

The practical consequence is that a Texas campaign is really four or five campaigns. Different competitors, different review benchmarks, different suburbs to name on the page. The local search work is the same discipline everywhere; the research behind it is not.

Every major Texas metro

Named because we work in them, with the suburbs listed because that is the level the map results actually operate at. If your suburb is not listed, it is almost certainly inside one of these four and we work there. Ask.

Where our own profile ranks and where our local proof is deepest. Also the metro where suburb-level search behaves most independently.

Two city centers rather than one, which means two competitive sets and often two separate campaigns rather than one metro-wide effort.

The most competitive market in the state for most service categories, and the one where a thin profile is punished fastest.

Suburbbefore the city

A greater Houston service business ranked in its own suburb’s map results before competing for the city term, which is the order that actually works.

Answers

Texas questions, answered

Pricing does not change by metro. How our pricing works.

Do you work outside Houston?
Yes, across Dallas Fort Worth, Austin and San Antonio, and in the smaller markets between them. Houston is where our own presence is deepest, which we say rather than implying equal depth everywhere.
Is Austin harder than the other Texas metros?
For most service categories, yes, by a noticeable margin. More competitors per capita and higher review benchmarks. It is winnable and it takes longer, and any agency quoting the same timeline for Austin and San Antonio has not looked at either.
Should I target my suburb or the whole metro?
Your suburb first, almost always. Map results are proximity-weighted, so a Katy business ranking in Katy will outperform the same business ranking nowhere for "Houston". The city term comes after the suburb is held.
Do you meet clients in person?
In greater Houston, regularly, and it is genuinely useful for kickoff and for content days. Elsewhere in Texas it is occasional and by arrangement. The work does not require it, but the first meeting often benefits.
Does being in Texas help my Texas rankings?
Not directly. Google ranks your business, not your agency. Where it helps is in knowing that Cypress and Katy are separate markets before somebody pays us to find out.
