Texas Strong Plumbing, on the record. Five months, counted and dated.
Calls from your Google Business Profile, month by month. Counted by Google, not by us.
One honest note before the numbers. We count only what Google reports directly: your profile and your search results. Word of mouth and repeat customers do not show up here, and plenty of your calls are exactly that. Becky's lead-source log in HouseCall Pro holds the full picture; this page is the Google slice of it.

Your drain cleaning map still holds its best reading yet: top 3 in 26 of 39 points around Katy, up from 23 in August (last scanned September 25, unchanged this cycle). August came in at 18 calls, confirmed. September so far is slower, 6 calls through the 28th, and it is on this page with the rest.
Everything below is a receipt, not a promise.Every month, on the record.
Every month, something got built and your phone did something. This table holds both. July was the strongest month of the engagement: 32 calls off the profile with 31 posts running. One correction to last month's report: August finished at 18 calls, not 12. We pulled it on August 31, before Google had counted the last few days, and the full month came in higher. September is shown through the 28th, and it is slower so far at 6 calls, with Google still counting the last few days. The same posting rhythm ran all month. We are not going to explain the slow weeks away. Receipts only work when they are complete, so the down months stay on the table.

When someone in Katy needs a plumber, your Google profile is the first thing they see. It scores 91 of 100, your citations score 95, and your 4.9 rating across 308 reviews is the kind of trust money cannot buy. The months below sit side by side, ups and downs both. July was the peak: 32 calls and 89 clicks through to your website. August finished at 18 calls and 54 clicks. September has 6 calls and 45 clicks through the 28th. One new review came in this month. Reviews are the one lever on this list you control directly, so ask every happy customer before the truck leaves.
* April covers the 4 days from the 27th, when the work went live. It is a short month, so it sits lower than a full one.
September so far (first 28 days): 6 calls, 880 profile views. Full month lands in your next check-in.
These are only the calls Google counted from the call button on your profile. Calls that start on your website, from a saved number, or from Becky's repeat customers are not in here.
Your profile scores 91 of 100 and holds a 4.9 rating on 308 reviews. July drove 32 calls, August 18, and September has 6 so far through the 28th.

Google Search Console shows every search where your site appears. May sent 42 clicks to your site, June 30, July 45, and August finished at 30. September is at 10 through the 28th. Your average spot moved from 14 in May to 9 in June, out to 17.5 in August, and back to 15.5 so far in September. That is the honest shape of it: position moves first and clicks follow, in both directions. Your site now shows up for over 500 different searches, and the fixes we deployed are what put it there.

These are real people typing real problems into Google.Beyond your name, new demand.
Two kinds of people click on your site. People who searched your name already knew you: a referral, a repeat customer, a truck they saw. People who searched the service did not know you existed until Google put you in front of them. That second group is the new demand this work exists to win. The split below covers the searches Google names; Google hides the rarest ones, and we say so instead of guessing.

About 10 in 10 of the searches you turn up for are people looking for the work, not for you by name. That is 516 different searches in this window, and it is climbing: 98.4% of your first month, 99% of the last. The demand is real and Google is already showing you for it. What it is not doing yet is placing you high enough to earn the click, and that is exactly what more pages fixes.
Searches for your name were always yours. The service searches are the new demand this work wins.Where AI recommends you.
Homeowners now ask ChatGPT and Google AI for a plumber the same way they used to ask a neighbor. We started with 18 exact questions across five platforms, and you come back in 9 of them. This month we added 5 more that name your company directly, the way a homeowner checks you out before calling. You answer first on all 5. On the original list, a Katy drain cleaning maintenance plan now brings you up at number 1, up from 2, and licensed tankless installer in Katy moved from 7 to 5. Sewer line repair still sits at 12, so that one stays on the list. Tracking started with this engagement, so there is no made-up before number here.

You do not have call tracking wired to this page, so we do not guess where jobs came from. We count two things Google reports directly: calls from your profile and clicks from your top search terms. Becky already logs where every caller heard about you in HouseCall Pro, and that log is the real scoreboard. Put her tally next to this page on the call.
Next up: HouseCall Pro lead-source log lands already in your hands.
Becky already writes down where every caller heard about you, at the bottom of each HouseCall Pro record. That log is the truest attribution this business has. Put her tally next to this page on our call: if Google is the growing line in her log, this engine is doing its job. If it is not, we want to know first.
We would rather show you a smaller true number than a bigger guess. Becky's log catches what these counters miss.

This is the wide-angle lens: 100 terms checked weekly in Google results, read from metro Houston, since April 30. Two terms hold a top 3 spot, down from four in August, and both are your own company name. Texas strong plumbing katy slipped from 1 to 13, and rick cotton plumber katy from 3 to 6. Name searches were always yours, and we are watching those two. The generic terms that bring new customers still sit outside the top 20, because they are won with dedicated service pages, and your site has 11 pages today. The map section below is the street-level view of the same fight.
| Search term | Avg spot | Movement (April 30 to September 25) |
|---|---|---|
| texas strong plumbing | 1.0 | Holding |
| texas strong plumber | 1.0 | Holding |
| rick cotton plumber katy | 6.0 | Down 4 spots |
| texas strong plumbing katy | 13.0 | Down 12 spots |
The tracker compares where terms started against where they sit today. From next month, this section carries a month by month line for every term that ranks.
Your name still owns its results: texas strong plumbing sits at number 1. Two terms hold a top 3 spot, down from four in August, because two name searches slipped. The generic terms still need pages your site does not have yet.
This is the wide-angle read. The map section below is the street-level one.Your map pack, pin by pin.
This is the view most agencies never show you, and it comes with the pins. We check 50 search terms from 39 real spots around your shop. Each pin below is one of those spots; the number on it is where you rank when someone searches from there. We rescanned the grid on September 25 for this report. Drain cleaning had its best reading yet: top 3 in 26 of 39 points, up from 23 in August, with your average moving from 5.7 to 4.7. Sewer line repair, the work you told us carries the big tickets, slipped from 31 top 3 points to 26, and your average went from 2.4 to 3.7. Even so, you show up in all 39 points on sewer and no other plumber holds more top 3 spots there. The one term still buried belongs to a competitor whose company name is the search itself, so we track it to watch for cracks, not to promise it.
The Katy Plumbing Company has 3,707 reviews. You have 308. On drain cleaning you now hold a top 3 spot in 26 of 39 map points, the most of any plumber on the grid, up from 23 in August.

Your site has 244 problems that make Google trust it less, as the fix engine counts them today. We have fixed 218, and the engine keeps running on autopilot, including the weeks you do not hear from us. Last month read 257 found and 230 fixed; the engine recounted its list this month and both numbers came down together, by about the same amount. Technical sits at 90 because that work is done. Content sits at 1 because the sewer page, the drain page, and the city pages do not exist yet. Foundation first, then pages. That order is what lasts.
The work, month by month
- April: Site and profile audits run (April 27 to 30) · AI tracking wired across five platforms
- May: Fix engine pixel live on every page (May 5) · 134 on-page fixes hand-reviewed and deployed · Rank tracker and map grids seeded
- June: Autopilot fix deployment continued: 223 live · Instant indexing pushing changed pages to Google
- July: Autopilot fix deployment continued · Fresh data pull across every source for the 90 day report
- August: Autopilot fix deployment continued: 230 live · 257 issues now found across your 11 pages
- September: Autopilot fix deployment continued: 218 live · The fix engine recounted its issue list: 244 found, down from 257 · Full source re-pull through September 28
Technical scores 90 because that work is done. Content sits at 1 because the sewer and drain pages do not exist yet. The gap is the plan, not a mystery.
The technical side of your site now helps Google and AI trust your business.Two doors, both honest.
Two doors. Both honest. One keeps the engine warm. The other builds the pages that win sewer and drain before the winter slowdown.
Stay at this pace
Stay Visible keeps your profile active, the trackers running, and the fix engine deploying. That work ran through September: 25 posts published through the 25th, and 218 fixes live. Months still move up and down, and you will see every one of them on this page.
Build the pages that win sewer and drain
Your site has no sewer page and no drain page, and the maps say you compete on those terms anyway. A dedicated page for every service you offer and every town you serve is how a company with 5 reviews owns the drain cleaning map today. We would love to build those for you. We will walk through what that looks like on the call.
Walk through it with us on your review call. No pressure behind any door.

Every number above traces to a source we read on September 28, except the map grid, carried unchanged from its September 25 scan and disclosed above. If a source was missing, we would say so instead of showing a zero. Google reports the last few days of any month late, so the September figures will still grow. Ask about any line and we will pull it up live on the call.
