SEO Houston

SEO in Houston means picking your part of the map

Greater Houston is huge, and many of its suburbs are cities in their own right: Sugar Land, Pearland, Missouri City, League City, Baytown, Conroe. People search with those names. "Dentist Sugar Land" and "dentist Katy" show different businesses, and "near me" searches typically reach only a few miles. SEO in Houston starts with deciding where you can realistically win: your own area first, then the neighbors.

For a company based in Cypress, that might mean Cypress, Jersey Village, Tomball and northwest Houston. For a practice in the Heights, it might mean the Heights, Montrose, Garden Oaks and Oak Forest. I check where you appear on the map today, across a grid of points in your area, and plan from there.

Pages people actually search for

Houston customers search in a very practical way, often around the weather. Before summer: AC tune-ups, AC sizing, energy bills. Before and during hurricane season: roof inspections, generators, shutters, tree trimming, flood cleanup. After storms: insurance claims, water damage, mold. If your business touches any of these, useful guides bring steady search traffic every year. I write them in plain English and hedge claims about insurance and permits properly. Service pages and suburb pages come first, though; details are on the website SEO page.

Listings across a growing metro

Many Houston businesses have moved or opened new locations as the suburbs grew. Old addresses on Yelp, BBB, Apple Maps or industry directories split your signals. I clean up every listing so your name, address, phone and hours match everywhere, and I set up your Google Business Profile within Google's rules. More on local SEO and Google Business Profile.

Reviews, honestly

Reviews influence both the map and the decision. The FTC rule in force since late 2024 bans fake and bought reviews, and incentivized reviews need disclosure. I help you ask every satisfied customer at the right moment, with a simple link, and reply to every review, good or bad.

What I can show you

I have no US clients yet; North American clients so far are in Canada, and a lot of my SEO work has been in Poland. For Tomasz Ciuła, a personal trainer, the site reached the top 6–7 in Google without ongoing work and brings up to 10 inquiries a month. Houston is a much bigger market, but the method is the same: clear pages for clear searches. I'm happy to work with businesses in Houston on Central Time, with calls in your morning and replies within one business day. SEO costs from $750 a month with no minimum term, and if you need calls while the pages mature, Google Ads in Houston can cover the gap and be scaled down later.
