Spray Foam Genius Marketing helps spray foam and insulation contractors in Hampton, Virginia win more jobs from homeowners and builders searching in that market. Use this as the Hampton brief before you write a page or an ad. The climate zone on this page is 3A. The population line reads 137,315. Every comparison below is the city number set next to the national number from the same note, when the note has one.
On the population line, Hampton shows 137,315. The note on that line says: Estimate for July 1, 2025. Source on this page: U.S. Census Bureau, Vintage 2025 population estimates for cities and towns, as of July 1, 2025. The county line reads Hampton city. Use the city total as context. The audit grid, not the census count, is what shows where a company actually appears.
Zone 3A is the climate designation published for Hampton. The moisture letter on this zone is humid (3A). The accompanying note is "humid climate, zone 3 of 8". Source on this page: U.S. DOE and PNNL, Guide to Determining Climate Zone by County: Building America and IECC 2021 Updates (PNNL-33270), as of October 21, 2022. Homeowners do not search for a zone number. They search for the comfort problem that zone tends to produce, which is why the degree-day lines matter when this page has them.
Tenure is part of the marketing picture in Hampton: 57% of occupied homes are owner-occupied. That is lower than the national figure of 65% in the same note. The city figure is at least half, so owner-occupiers are the larger group in this survey line. They are usually the people who can commission insulation on a house they live in. Landlords and builders remain a separate audience when the owner share is modest.
Hampton's median build year on this page is 1975. That year is earlier than the national median of 1981 printed in the same note. The note on that line says: National median: 1981 (survey estimate, with a margin of error). Pair it with the share of homes built before 1980 when that line exists, because a median hides the older tail.
Heating degree days (3,461) and cooling degree days (1,592) are both on this page. Both figures use base 65 F. The heating note says the reading was measured at LANGLEY AFB. Heating (3,461) is larger than cooling (1,592). Pages and ads can lead with cold rooms, drafts, and heating bills. The station and the period belong to the source card, so quote them if you repeat the numbers in your own content.
Put together, the figures on this page suggest a practical order for Hampton marketing. Heating is the larger degree-day number, so cold-weather comfort is the first story for Hampton. Check it against the grid. A message can be right for the climate and still be invisible three miles from the shop.
The median value line reads $266,100 for Hampton. That is lower than the national figure of $360,600 in the same note. Treat it as a reference from the cited survey, not today's asking price. Market prices move after the survey date printed on the card.
Before-1980 construction is 56% in Hampton. That share is higher than the national figure of 48% in the same note. The note on that line says: National: 48% (survey estimate). Combine this with the median year rather than quoting only one of them in an ad.

What this means for your marketing in Hampton
57% of occupied homes in Hampton are owner-occupied (nationally: 65%), and the median home value is $266,100 (nationally: $360,600). That is close to the national mix of owners and renters.
Hampton is in Hampton city, which falls in IECC climate zone 3A. NOAA's 1991-2020 normals for LANGLEY AFB (about 4 miles away) show 3,461 heating degree days and 1,592 cooling degree days in a typical year, so heating is the larger load. For a spray foam or insulation contractor, that tends to move what homeowners search for toward cold rooms, drafts, high heating bills and ice dams. The "A" in 3A marks a humid climate, so moisture control and air sealing deserve space in your content.
The Census Bureau's 2024 American Community Survey puts the median home in Hampton at a build year of 1975 (nationally: 1981), and 56% of its homes were built before 1980 (nationally: 48%). That is close to the national picture, so a mix of retrofit pages for older homes and pages for newer construction fits the market.
Hampton had an estimated 137,315 residents on July 1, 2025 (U.S. Census Bureau). Google Maps rankings change from one part of a market to the next, so being visible near your shop does not mean being visible across the whole service area. The free Market Visibility Audit shows your ranking at a grid of points around your business.
How the Google Maps grid works in a market like Hampton
Google Maps does not show one ranking for a whole city. The result changes block by block, depending on where the searcher is standing. Our audit searches from a grid of points around your business and records where you appear at each one. Green means you are in the top 3 at that spot. Red means customers there are not finding you. Run it for the Hampton service area you want. A good result next to the office can sit beside a miss a few miles away.

How working with us goes
Spray Foam Genius Marketing works with spray foam and insulation contractors. The steps are the same in Hampton as everywhere else. Plans are month to month, and you can end service with 30 days notice.
1. Audit
We look at where your company shows up on Google Maps in the cities you serve. The Market Visibility Audit is free. It shows the current grid. It is not a forecast, and it does not promise a ranking.
2. Plan
If the work is a fit, we write a plan for the website, the Google Business Profile, and the ads for the jobs you take. We do not sell shared leads. We do not promise that only one contractor in Hampton can hire us.
3. Launch
We set up the work in the plan. You buy and own the domain at a registrar you choose, such as Namecheap or GoDaddy. We do not hold the domain, and we do not transfer it. If we build a website, we can move that website to a host you choose after you have been with us at least 90 days and you end service with 30 days notice. Before 90 days the website stays with us.
4. Monthly review
Each month we review what is live: the map listing, the pages, and the ads. We do not bill per lead or per estimate.
