Market analysis

In Boise, ID, the plumber category shows high local SEO difficulty at 99, with a strong median rating of 4.9 and nearly 50 median reviews per business. Most businesses have a website presence (85%) and good photo coverage (67%). However, only 23% offer online booking links, and AI search visibility is low at 30%.

Focus on improving online booking capabilities and increasing AI search visibility, as these areas show the largest gaps and could help differentiate businesses in a highly competitive market.

How competitive is local SEO in Boise, ID?

Across 100 plumber businesses sampled from Google Maps, local SEO difficulty scores 99 out of 100. That score weights the review depth of the top ten businesses most heavily, then whether they run a website, then their rating.

Do Boise businesses need a website to rank on Google Maps?

85% of the businesses we sampled link a website from their Google profile. Where that share is low, adding a site is one of the cheaper ways to differentiate.

Do AI assistants recommend Boise businesses?

When we asked ChatGPT with web search for the best plumbers in Boise, 30% of the local leaders in our sample were named or cited. This is a single query and a snapshot, not a ranking.

How was this report produced?
