What we found across the region
On October 22, 2026, we reviewed the homepages of 35 randomly chosen local businesses, across a wide range of industries, in Houston, Fulshear, The Woodlands and Sugar Land.
- Mobile performance score. 30 of 35 homepages scored below Google’s good-score threshold of 90, with a median of 63, and 8 of 35 scored below 50, the range Google rates as poor.
- Tap-to-call. 27 of 35 homepages had a tap-to-call link, which lets a customer on a phone call with a single tap.
- Structured business data. 22 of 35 homepages included structured business data, which gives Google a business’s name, location and hours in a form it reads directly.
- Image descriptions. 10 of the 34 homepages that use images had at least one image with no alt text attribute.
- Businesses without a website. 3 further businesses appeared only as a Facebook page, with no website of their own that we could find, and aren’t counted in the 35.
These findings point to areas to investigate in the site, hosting or third-party services. What can be improved depends on the cause; search rankings remain Google’s decision. Select an area below for the findings in that city.
Method: homepages only. Businesses were drawn at random from web searches across many business types, excluding directories and national chains. Performance scores come from Google PageSpeed Insights’ simulated mobile test, one run per site. Each composite score is a diagnostic signal for investigation, not a measure of every visitor’s experience or evidence of lost business. Scores can vary between runs. Of the 40 businesses drawn, 5 blocked our automated check and are left out. No business is named. Our automated source checks looked for meta descriptions, image alt attributes, structured business data and phone links.
These historical figures come from an automated homepage sample using page source and Google measurements. They are not full manual reviews of those businesses’ websites. Our current free website check adds customer-focused manual judgment across agreed pages, including the homepage and key service, About and Contact pages.
