The county at a glance
What Goes Into Licking County's 53.9
Local Reseller Opportunity Index
53.9/ 100
Stands at 764 out of 1,822 counties past the 20,000-resident mark, and 330 of the 400 markets on this site. A higher score means more small employers, more buyers, more towns and more income to work with. Weights and method
LROI, the Local Reseller Opportunity Index, rates every county from 0 to 100 on how much an agency has to work with: a pool of small employers, a share in the home-service, legal, medical, real estate and auto categories, a count of towns, household income, business growth and category crowding. Licking County scores 53.9, which is close to the middle.
Look underneath and Licking County reads as a county where few new homes are being permitted; it is also a county with high household incomes. Each bar below sets one measure against every county of 20,000 or more residents.
- Employers with a very small payroll, per 1,000 residents 3 Thin supply: 40th percentile
- SEO-buying locations for every 10,000 people 20.6 Thin supply: 28th percentile
- Communities with over 2,500 residents 7 Long list of places: 88th percentile
- Middle household's income (2023 est.) $76,496 High side: 73rd percentile
- Employer-location change from 2017 to 2022 +6.5% Faster than the field: 70th percentile
- How packed the nine buyer categories are (average percentile) 43 Light rivalry: 36th percentile
- Homes permitted in 2025 per 10,000 residents 8.2 Slow permitting: 14th percentile

Bars place Licking County among 1,822 counties of 20,000 or more residents, as the fraction of them with a lower value. Inputs: business counts and staff sizes from County Business Patterns, 2017 and 2022, Census population estimates (2023), SAIPE (2023) for income, and the Building Permits Survey for new homes.
Many towns, many pages
7 Towns, One Service Area
With 7 places above 2,500 residents, Licking County gives an agency an unusual amount of local surface area, ahead of 88% of counties. The largest, Newark, holds only 28% of the county's people, so winning Newark alone would leave most of the market untouched.
Few homes are being permitted (8.2 per 10,000 residents in 2025). Households are well off too, at $76,496 for the median, above 73% of counties. What does that change for reseller SEO for Licking County web designers? In the ranking further down, landscaping and cleaning firms and home-service firms come out on top.
183,201 people live in Licking County, which is number 375 among 3,143 U.S. counties, and 3,227 employer locations there provide 58,397 jobs. 77.3% of those locations have fewer than 10 staff. The median household takes in $76,496.
Whoever sells SEO here is selling to owners, not to a database, so the numbers above are best read as a map of who to call and in what order.
Where to prospect
Private Label SEO in Licking County: Whom to Pitch First
We sort Licking County's employer locations into seven client types, rank them by how many small shops they hold and how dense they are against the typical county, and note what that suggests for a reseller.
| Client type, in order | What the numbers say |
|---|---|
| 1. Landscaping and cleaning firms | 125 locations, 102 with fewer than 10 staff, at 1.4x the typical county's density. The count is up 11.6% since 2017. These are service-area firms that sell by season and by neighborhood. |
| 2. Home services | Typical density (0.9x) across 157 locations, 127 of them under 10 staff. The count is up 18% since 2017. Service-area businesses like these usually want to be found in every town their trucks reach. |
| 3. Insurance and accounting firms | Near the county norm (0.9x), with 81 locations and 76 of them small. The count is steady at +1.3% since 2017. An insurance or accounting office often serves a whole region from one address. |
| 4. Real estate offices | 53 locations (52 under 10 staff), about typical for density at 1.2x. The count is up 112% since 2017. Agents and brokers compete town by town, so local pages line up with their territories. |
| 5. Auto repair shops | 51 locations (46 under 10 staff), about typical for density at 1.1x. The count is up 15.9% since 2017. Repair services (brakes, tires, inspections) become distinct pages. |
| 6. Dental and medical practices | A thin field (0.6x typical) with 80 locations, 51 of them under 10 staff. The count has fallen 8% since 2017. Each office and each service line is its own page target. |
| 7. Law offices | Sparse at 0.7x the typical county: 36 locations, 33 under 10 staff. The count is steady at +5.9% since 2017. Choosing a lawyer is a considered decision, so a strong local presence carries weight with prospects. |
The order tilts toward groups with more small locations and denser fields than a typical county; it reflects supply, not demand. Method
Put differently, 305 small locations sit in the three best-ranked groups. The order is built from counts and density, so it favors where prospects are plentiful; your own contacts and references should override it whenever they point somewhere else.
Page targets
The Communities Inside Licking County
The biggest places in Licking County by residents. Customers usually name their town when they search for local help, so each row is a separate target for a landing page.
| Rank | City or town | 2023 population estimate | Percent of the county |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Newark | 51,046 | 28% |
| 2 | Pataskala | 18,346 | 10% |
| 3 | Heath | 10,693 | 6% |
| 4 | Reynoldsburg (part) | 10,558 | 6% |
| 5 | Granville | 6,281 | 3% |
| 6 | Johnstown | 5,310 | 3% |
Census Bureau estimates; a place may be a city, a town or a census-designated place. For cities that straddle a boundary, this table lists the Licking County side alone.
Newark leads with 28% of residents, yet 6 other places pass 2,500, so reaching customers across Licking County means looking beyond the biggest town. As a rough illustration, a client that sells six services in each of the 7 places above 2,500 residents would have 42 service-and-town combinations; the startup fee covers the design, development and optimization of up to about 1,000 landing pages per client.

Homes going up
Licking County Builds Less Than It Did in 2021
Bars show housing units approved by building permit. Data: the Building Permits Survey; the last two bars compare the same eight months. Permits come before construction, and not all become houses.
Permits peaked at 363 units in 2021 and landed at 151 in 2025, 58% lower, which is still 8.2 per 10,000 residents. January to August shows 132 units in 2026 and 113 in 2025, a +16.8% change.
Housing-linked categories here include real estate offices at 1.2x typical. Their sales cycle follows construction, which is a useful thing to bring up when pitching them.
