Get results in days, not monthsResults in days, not monthsThe myth: a city of 19,221 on the Louisiana line is too small to matter in search. The record is different. Orange is the Orange County seat, a deep-water port on the Sabine River, the home of the Stark museums, a 1,450-seat theater and a college campus, and a place where plants employ 1,354 residents in manufacturing. Each of those draws people who look a business up before they arrive, and a small city rewards the shop that answers clearly.
GetPhound tends Google Business Profile and Google Maps listings, writes a page for each service and nearby community you cover, from Downtown Orange to the Port of Orange, cleans up citations, answers reviews and prepares direct replies to customer questions. You receive a Search Console report every month. The plan carries no setup fee and no term longer than the month you are in.

City Search Competition Index
9.6/ 100
Rank 199 of 203 in Texas
From the Census ACS 2018-2022, 2023 population estimates and County Business Patterns 2022. Each bar compares Orange with the other 202 Texas cities in this set, not with the country. How the score is built: methodology. Updated October 2026.
Who buys
Heavy industry leads the local base. The City of Orange's principal employers page names Dow Sabine River Operations first and also lists Golden Triangle Polymers, Conrad Industries, Lion Elastomers and Chevron Phillips Chemical, with no headcounts. Manufacturing supplies 1,354 resident jobs (17%) and construction 1,063 (13.4%), so safety, welding, fabrication and trucking firms are the businesses a plant buyer is most likely to search for.
The largest new project is Golden Triangle Polymers, an $8.5 billion integrated polymers facility that Chevron Phillips Chemical and QatarEnergy announced in November 2022, with more than 500 permanent jobs and about 4,500 construction jobs projected. The existing Chevron Phillips Chemical site in the county dates to 1954. Contractors and suppliers should publish pages that describe their own work near the project without implying a contract.
Public institutions and culture fill in the rest. Orangefield ISD, two other school districts and Lamar State College Orange appear on the principal employers list, and the Stark Foundation's venues bring visitors. Health care supplies 939 resident jobs (11.8%), retail 936 (11.8%) and accommodation and food services 793 (10%). The Orange County Economic Development Corporation promotes more than 6,000 developable acres along the Neches River and about 1,000 more on the Sabine for plant growth.
Workforce profile
The work people do affects when they search and how much they can spend. The American Community Survey puts these six industries on top for employed Orange residents.
| Industry | Employed residents | Share of employed |
|---|---|---|
| Manufacturing | 1,354 | 17% |
| Construction | 1,063 | 13.4% |
| Health care and social assistance | 939 | 11.8% |
| Retail trade | 936 | 11.8% |
| Accommodation and food services | 793 | 10% |
| Education | 656 | 8.2% |
From the Census ACS 5-year estimates (2018-2022), employed civilians 16 and older. A resident may work outside the city, so this is about people who live here.
Who else is in the results
The Census reports business counts by county, never by city. Each row below describes Orange County in full, with Orange inside it. The last column compares each business type with the typical U.S. county; over 1.0x is more crowded.
| Business type | Count in Orange County | Per 10,000 people | Compared with a typical U.S. county |
|---|---|---|---|
| Insurance agencies and brokerages | 36 | 4.2 | 1.17x |
| Full-service restaurants | 36 | 4.2 | 0.63x |
| Plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors | 26 | 3 | 0.94x |
| Law offices | 20 | 2.3 | 0.81x |
From County Business Patterns 2022 (Census): businesses with paid staff, tallied for the entire county.
Local habits
The field is less crowded than in nearby Beaumont. The largest business categories in Orange County are insurance agencies (36), full-service restaurants (36), plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors (26) and law offices (20), and all but insurance sit below the typical Texas county per resident (0.63, 0.94 and 0.81 times, against 1.17 for insurance). Those are county figures, not city counts, but they suggest that a complete listing and clear service pages can be seen without outbidding a crowd.
Households skew older and settled. The median age is 34.7, 17.2% of residents are 65 or older (typical: 12.6%) and 43.4% of households rent (typical: 38%). The median household earns $58,756 against $76,686, homes are valued at $140,200 against $246,300 and rent is $987. Long tenure favors businesses that look dependable, with complete profiles, real photos and reviews from neighbors.
Search language is plain English for most. Only 7.7% speak Spanish at home (typical: 17.9%), 4.2% were born abroad (typical: 12%) and 16% of adults hold a bachelor's degree (typical: 31.3%). Short sentences, concrete steps and no jargon suit that audience, and a Spanish page is a lower priority here than in most Texas cities.
Work stays close to home. Just 12.7% of workers commute 45 minutes or more (typical: 15.6%) and 2.2% work from home (typical: 9.5%). Orange covers 21.352 square miles at 900 residents per square mile (typical: 1,923), so a driving radius around downtown reaches most customers. Shoppers who also drive to Beaumont, 24 miles away, or Port Arthur, 18 miles away, can be won by the nearer, clearer listing.
The plan
Basics in a lighter market
Because Orange County's largest categories sit near or below the typical Texas county, a profile with every category, service, hour and photo filled in can stand out. We audit the listing and close gaps before writing a single new page.
Pages organized by trade
Safety, fabrication and trucking firms that serve plants such as Dow Sabine River Operations or Chevron Phillips Chemical can describe their work, certifications and response times without naming clients. Pages organized by trade help buyers who search by need.
Stark venues and gardens
Cafes, galleries and gift shops near the Stark Museum of Art, the W. H. Stark House and Shangri La Botanical Gardens can publish hours, parking notes and tour-day details. A short page on what visitors can do within a mile gives the profile something to match.
Lutcher Theater evenings
Restaurants and dessert shops near the Lutcher Theater gain when special hours match performance nights. We schedule posts around the calendar and keep the profile accurate so diners do not arrive after a kitchen has closed.
One page per service
Our RankGuarantee™ approach builds a page for each service and each nearby community, with real jobs and local photos instead of copied text. Plumbers, electricians and roofers in Orange County benefit most.
Near Golden Triangle Polymers
Lodging, equipment and craft-supply businesses can prepare pages that describe delivery windows and the area served near Golden Triangle Polymers. We cannot predict how many buyers will search, so the pages stay accurate and the monthly report tracks calls.
With fewer rivals per category than in larger Texas cities, careful basics go a long way. The first month fixes the listing and the pages people reach first, from Downtown Orange outward, then adds services and visitor details.
On the ground
Visitors and residents describe the city by its museums, its theater and the river. The nine places below, from the Stark Museum of Art to Interstate 10, come from our research; name one only when your business truly sits or serves near it.
| Part of town | Why it matters in search |
|---|---|
| Stark Museum of Art | Western art, American Indian art and rare books give out-of-town visitors a reason to search for lunch, lodging and gifts nearby. |
| W. H. Stark House | The 1894 Victorian home is a tour stop, so cafes and shops near it can state tour-day hours in their profiles. |
| Shangri La Botanical Gardens | About 250 acres on Adams Bayou, begun in 1937 and reopened in 2008, make a destination for photographers, families and event planners. |
| Lutcher Theater | The 1,450-seat venue at 707 Main Street draws about 30,000 people a year, so nearby restaurants can publish pre-show hours. |
| Lamar State College Orange | The downtown campus, with nearly 30 career programs, sends students and staff searching for meals, scrubs and supplies. |
| First Presbyterian Church | The 1912 Greek Revival building on Green Avenue is a known landmark for directions and for wedding-related vendors. |
| Port of Orange | One of four ports on the Sabine-Neches Waterway, it anchors searches from marine suppliers, truckers and inspectors. |
| Interstate 10 | Exit 880 is the highest-numbered exit on an interstate in North America, a memorable detail that hotels, fuel stops and restaurants can use in their listings. |
| Downtown Orange | The riverfront district where the theater and the college sit is where walkable shops and offices can pair a street address with a service. |
Names come from public city, county and regional sources. Boundaries are informal, and searchers use whatever local name they know.
Texas cities that look alike
Each peer is the nearest fit across population, income, age, renters, density, language at home, seasonal homes and seniors. Each name goes to that city's own page.
| City | Competition index | Population | Median income | Median age | Renter share |

| Orange, TX (this city) | 9.6 | 19,221 | $58,756 | 34.7 | 43.4% |
| Greenville, TX | 17.5 | 28,923 | $60,510 | 35.3 | 50% |
| Cleburne, TX | 23.7 | 31,849 | $60,929 | 35.2 | 40.4% |
| Terrell, TX | 13.3 | 18,001 | $61,513 | 35 | 42.1% |
| Gainesville, TX | 20.7 | 17,459 | $49,170 | 34.8 | 50.4% |
| Brownwood, TX | 27.6 | 18,820 | $45,412 | 34.9 | 45.8% |

Plans
All plans bill monthly. No setup fee, no contract, no annual term. Keyword research, a site audit and the six-month plan are done in month one. Book a conversation with our CEO.
Straight answers
Nothing is annual and nothing is a project fee. RankGuarantee™ is $495; Organic Growth runs $1,495 for Silver, $2,495 for Gold and $3,495 for Platinum. Setup is not charged, and a managed website comes with Gold and Platinum. The plan cards above say what each one covers, and the pricing page goes into more detail.
An honest date does not exist. Filling in a thin profile near Downtown Orange can show effects sooner than writing new pages, yet Google still needs weeks to read changes. The monthly report lists calls, direction requests and form fills, so you judge progress by your own counter.
It matters for the facts diners check before leaving home: hours on performance nights, parking, the menu and recent reviews. With about 30,000 people attending Lutcher Theater events each year, a restaurant that posts special hours and answers reviews gives them a reason to choose it. Accuracy beats volume here, and a short answer to the parking question often does more than a long description.
Only if it is true for your business. If you serve both sides of the state line from Orange County, say which communities you cover and give a clear address and phone number, since a search from across the river may name a different town. Never guess at where customers live, and keep the same details on every directory so the listing and the page agree.
Yes, as a landmark in directions. Say how far you are from Lamar State College Orange and what students and staff can get from you, such as meals, supplies or printing. Avoid wording that implies the college endorses you, and use only details you can prove.
Describe the product, the delivery window and the area you cover, not the project's owners. A page about scaffolding, pipe supports or crew housing is accurate and useful. Naming Chevron Phillips Chemical or QatarEnergy as a customer without permission could suggest a relationship you do not have.
Yes, written around each town's own streets. Beaumont is 24 miles from Orange and Port Arthur 18, and customers outside Orange County compare other competitors and use different landmarks. A short, specific page for each place reads as local, while a swapped city name does not.
It is a lower priority here than in much of Texas. Only 7.7% of residents speak Spanish at home, well under the 17.9% of the typical Texas city. If your crew already works in Spanish, one page for your top service is a fair test. Otherwise, put the effort into the English pages first.
Often, because those professions are real categories here: Orange County counts 36 insurance agencies and 20 law offices. A page for each coverage type or practice area, plus an accurate profile, helps a family find you in a quiet field. Billing is monthly, so you can stop if the numbers disappoint.
