Where your competition is in Texas
The largest concentrations of bathroom remodeling companies in our Texas data are in Houston, San Antonio, Dallas, Fort Worth, El Paso, Arlington, McKinney and Round Rock. Competition for the map pack is heaviest there, and so is the reward: the same review count that dominates a small town is invisible in Houston.
The map pack in Texas
Google shows three businesses in the map pack for a search like "bathroom remodeling company near me" in Houston. In Texas the shops that hold those spots usually sit near the 90th percentile, 166 reviews, not the median. 16.7% of Texas bathroom remodeling companies have passed 100 reviews; the other 83.3% are competing for whatever is left below the fold.
The website gap in Texas
13.8% of Texas bathroom remodeling companies list no website on their Google profile, fewer than the national 20.4%. Nationally, bathroom remodeling companies with a website have a median of 15 reviews against 1 without. A five-page site with tap-to-call and a page per service is the cheapest gap to close.
How Texas compares
Of the 42 states in our data, Texas ranks 4th for the number of bathroom remodeling companies, 15th for median review count, and 29th for the share with no website, so a website alone will not set you apart here. The review bar sits in the middle of the pack.
What to do first in Texas
- Set a review velocity. One review per job day, asked at the door, moves a 19-review shop past the Texas 75th percentile (58) within a year. The guides have the scripts.
- Finish the Google profile: primary category, every service you offer, real job photos, and hours that match reality. It is free and it is where Texas customers decide.
- Follow up every lead within five minutes. Speed to lead beats ad spend in a trade where the customer is collecting three quotes. The calculator shows what slow replies cost.
- Then, and only then, spend on ads. Pointed at a profile with 19 reviews and no website, ads pay for your competitor's education. Pointed at a finished profile, they work.
