184 credible foundation repair providers were counted across 4 Texas metros.
Dallas, Houston, San Antonio and Austin were screened on 2026-08-19 using the same five searches in each, so the four are directly comparable. The counts below are business listings that resolved to a working site serving the metro, not registered companies.
The single heaviest measured term is “foundation repair” in Houston, at 1,000 monthly searches. Volumes are reported per term and never added together: the terms overlap, and a state total would be a number with nothing behind it.
Provider density and demand side by side. Density is Caldrin’s own banding of the credible count, a label for a number we counted rather than an industry benchmark.
Providers counted per metro
| Metro | Listings found | Credible | Review-mature | Observed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Austin | 77 | 35 | 20 | 2026-08-19 |
| Dallas | 100 | 57 | 30 | 2026-08-19 |
| Houston | 100 | 47 | 24 | 2026-08-19 |
| San Antonio | 100 | 45 | 25 | 2026-08-19 |
Bars are all listings the discovery query returned. The shaded segments are the ones that resolved to a working site serving the metro, and the subset of those that also cleared a review-volume floor. These are listings, not registered companies.
How crowded the first page actually is, metro by metro.
Each metro was measured on the same five searches to a depth of 50. The spread below is every ranked result observed, which is a different question from how many providers exist: a metro can hold many companies and still have a thin first page.
Where the ranked results sit
| Metro | 1-3 | 4-10 | 11-20 | 21-50 | Results observed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Austin | 15 | 35 | 50 | 138 | 238 |
| Dallas | 18 | 42 | 60 | 147 | 267 |
| Houston | 18 | 42 | 60 | 143 | 263 |
| San Antonio | 18 | 42 | 60 | 147 | 267 |
Each metro was measured on the same five searches to a depth of 50. Bars show the share of observed results in each band, so a wide left segment means a crowded top of page rather than a large market.
What the spread means if you are choosing where to compete.
Provider count and first-page crowding move independently, and the gap between them is where the opportunity usually sits. A metro with many counted providers and few holding top-three positions is one where most of the market is invisible on the searches that matter, which is a different problem from a metro where the top of the page is already taken by firms that have done the work.
What this page cannot tell you is which of those two you are looking at in your own metro, because that depends on who those ranked domains are and what their pages carry. That is the market page, and beneath it, the report.
What assistants name in Texas.
AI visibility has not yet been measured for any Texas metro. No figure has been estimated in its place, here or on any metro page.
Two views this dataset cannot support yet
- Change over time
- One market, San Antonio, has been captured twice, but on different query sets: one search on August 19 and five on August 29. A line between them would be measuring the change in what we asked, not a change in the market. Every other metro has a single capture.
- Review distribution
- No review observations are in this dataset. Company-level review evidence lives in the Texas Foundation Report company records and has not been ingested here.
Limits that apply to the tables above.
Methodology v1.0, dataset snap_2026-08-29-tx-foundation-market-screen, captured 2026-08-29. The full method sits on the research hub.
- Provider counts are listings that resolved to a working site serving the metro. They are not counts of registered companies, and adding them across metros only works because each capture returns a distinct set.
- The position spread describes the searches we measured, not every search a buyer runs. Five terms per metro, to a depth of 50.
- Density bands are our own labels for a counted number, not an industry benchmark.
