How trades searches work in Texas
Texas is several large metro areas far apart, so a separate page for each city you serve works better than one for the whole state. Hot summers keep air conditioning busy, and hail and storms drive roofing searches. Rules for licensed trades differ by trade, so check what applies to you.
- Long hot summers make AC repair and installation a major source of searches
- Hail and storm damage creates roofing searches after severe weather
- Houston, Dallas, Austin and San Antonio are separate markets, so each needs its own page
- Licensing rules vary by state and sometimes by city, so show your license number and insurance clearly on every page
Common local searches
These are the kinds of searches your pages should be ready for:
- "AC repair Houston"
- "roofing contractor Dallas"
- "licensed electrician Fort Worth"
- "foundation repair Austin"
What we would build for a Texas trades business
- One page for each main service, written in the words local homeowners use
- Pages for the cities and neighborhoods you really serve, for example Houston, Dallas or Fort Worth, each with something specific to say
- Click-to-call, text and a short estimate request on every page
- Fast mobile pages and clean technical SEO so Google can read every page
- Help setting up your Google Business Profile as a service-area business, if you work from home

Is Texas one market or several?
Several. Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin and San Antonio each have their own customers and competition, so build pages for the metros you actually serve.
