Where your competition is in Texas
The largest concentrations of waterproofing companies in our Texas data are in Houston, Austin, Dallas, San Antonio, El Paso, Fort Worth, The Woodlands and League City. 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
The map pack is a three-slot race, and in Texas it is won by review count and recency far more than by rating: 71.4% of Texas waterproofing companies are already at 4.5 stars or better, so stars do not separate anyone. The 75th percentile is 3 reviews and the 90th is 9. Those are the numbers to plan around, not the median.
The website gap in Texas
41.5% of Texas waterproofing companies list no website on their Google profile, more than the national 18.8%. Nationally, waterproofing companies with a website have a median of 16 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 30 states in our data, Texas ranks 17th for the number of waterproofing companies, 30th for median review count, and 3rd for the share with no website, which leaves more room than most states for a shop that builds a real site. The review bar is lower than in most of the country, so a few months of asking every customer moves you up fast.
| State | Listed | Median reviews | No site |
|---|---|---|---|
| Texas | 65 | 0 | 41.5% |
| Louisiana | 16 | 1.5 | 43.8% |
What to do first in Texas
- Put up a real website if you are in the 41.5% without one. Service pages, city pages for Houston, Austin, Dallas, tap-to-call on every screen.
- Set a review velocity. One review per job day, asked at the door, moves a 0-review shop past the Texas 75th percentile (3) 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 0 reviews and no website, ads pay for your competitor's education. Pointed at a finished profile, they work.
