Where Washington's gutter companies are
The largest concentrations of gutter companies in our Washington data are in Seattle, Vancouver, Tacoma, Everett, Puyallup, Kirkland, Renton and Olympia. Competition for the map pack is heaviest there, and so is the reward: the same review count that dominates a small town is invisible in Seattle.
The map pack in Washington
Google shows three businesses in the map pack for a search like "gutter company near me" in Seattle. In Washington the shops that hold those spots usually sit near the 90th percentile, 249 reviews, not the median. 22.7% of Washington gutter companies have passed 100 reviews; the other 77.3% are competing for whatever is left below the fold.
The website gap in Washington
26.5% of Washington gutter companies list no website on their Google profile, fewer than the national 37.9%. Nationally, gutter companies with a website have a median of 11 reviews against 2 without. A five-page site with tap-to-call and a page per service is the cheapest gap to close.
What to do first in Washington
- Put up a real website if you are in the 26.5% without one. Service pages, city pages for Seattle, Vancouver, Tacoma, tap-to-call on every screen.
- Set a review velocity. One review per job day, asked at the door, moves a 14-review shop past the Washington 75th percentile (84) within a year. The guides have the scripts.
- Finish the Google profile: primary category, every service you offer, real job photos, and hours that match reality. It is free and it is where Washington customers decide.
- Follow up every lead within five minutes. Speed to lead beats ad spend in a trade where the customer is collecting three quotes. The calculator shows what slow replies cost.
- Then, and only then, spend on ads. Pointed at a profile with 14 reviews and no website, ads pay for your competitor's education. Pointed at a finished profile, they work.
