TLG Marketing helps Houston businesses rank in Google’s map results and organic listings for the searches their customers make across Harris County and the surrounding suburbs. We build and fix service pages, manage Google Business Profiles and earn local links. We’re a Long Beach, California agency, in business since 2006, and we work with Houston companies remotely.
What it takes to rank in Houston
Houston is the fourth-largest city in the United States, and its metro sprawls across several counties. Search behavior here follows that size.
- Distance decides the map pack. A plumber in Pearland rarely shows up for a search made in Cypress. Google weighs proximity heavily, so ranking across Houston takes pages and signals for each part of town you serve.
- Storm season changes demand. Hurricane season runs from June through November, and heavy rain and flooding drive spikes in searches for roofing, water damage, generators and tree removal. Those pages should already rank before the first storm watch.
- Houston searches in more than one language. The city has a very large Spanish-speaking population and sizable Vietnamese, Chinese and other communities, especially around Alief and Bellaire Boulevard. Checking demand in other languages can turn up customers that English-only competitors overlook.
- Major industries create B2B searches. Energy companies, the Texas Medical Center, the Port of Houston and NASA’s Johnson Space Center support a large network of suppliers and contractors. Their buyers search for specific capabilities, and pages that answer those searches bring in qualified leads.
How we run a Houston SEO campaign
We map where your customers are first, then audit your Google Business Profile and website against the businesses that currently rank in those areas. The early work covers your main service pages, technical fixes and profile updates. After that we add area pages, publish content around seasonal and industry searches, and build citations and links from Texas and Houston sources.
You get regular reports broken down by area, so you can see where you rank in Katy versus Clear Lake and which searches produced calls and form leads. More on our approach is on the local SEO services page.

// Questions
SEO in Houston: common questions
Do you have an office in Houston?
No. We’re based in Long Beach, California, and work with Houston businesses remotely through video calls, shared dashboards and regular reports.
How do you handle a market as spread out as Houston?
We treat it as several markets. Google’s map results favor businesses close to the searcher, so we pick the areas you actually serve, such as the Energy Corridor, Clear Lake or Katy, and build pages and profile coverage for each one. Reports then show your rankings area by area.
How long does SEO take to work?
Most sites see movement within three to six months; competitive searches take longer. Your roadmap sets expectations search by search, so you know what to expect and when.
How much do SEO services cost?
It depends on how competitive your market is and how much work your site needs. Tell us your monthly budget on the form and we’ll show you what it can realistically achieve.
Will you work on my existing website?
Yes. We work on WordPress, ecommerce platforms and custom-built sites. If the site itself is holding you back, our developers can fix it or rebuild it.
What do you need from me to get started?
