The county at a glance
Reading Multnomah County as a Reseller Market
Local Reseller Opportunity Index
77.2/ 100
Ranks 219 out of 1,822 counties past the 20,000-resident mark, and 145 of the 400 markets on this site. Higher numbers point to a bigger opportunity for a reseller. The formula
Six public Census measures feed the Local Reseller Opportunity Index (LROI), a 0 to 100 score that asks one question of each county: how good a place is it for an agency to resell SEO, judged by small employers, SEO-buying categories, towns, income, new openings and crowding? Multnomah County scores 77.2, which is well above the middle.
Two traits stand out in Multnomah County: it is a county with an unusually large number of small employers for its population, and it is a county with high household incomes. The bars show where the county falls on each measure among all those counties.
- Small employers (payroll under ten) for every 1,000 residents 5.2 Deep supply: 89th percentile
- Core buyer-category locations per 10,000 residents 40.1 Plentiful: 89th percentile
- Named places above 2,500 residents 6 Town-rich: 85th percentile
- Middle household's income (2023 est.) $83,290 Upper bracket: 83rd percentile

The percentile bars compare Multnomah County with each of the 1,822 counties above the 20,000-resident cutoff. Inputs: business counts and staff sizes from County Business Patterns, 2017 and 2022, Census population estimates (2023), SAIPE income estimates for 2023, and the Building Permits Survey for new homes.
Client types
Seven Client Types Ranked for Multnomah County White Label SEO
We sort Multnomah 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.
| Group, ranked | The county in numbers |
|---|---|
| 1. Law offices | 779 locations, 644 with fewer than 10 staff, at 3.4x the typical county's density. The count has fallen 13.1% since 2017. Choosing a lawyer is a considered decision, so a strong local presence carries weight with prospects. |
| 2. Real estate offices | A crowded field at 3.1x typical: 608 locations, 580 of them small. The count is up 12.6% since 2017. Agents and brokers compete town by town, so local pages line up with their territories. |
| 3. Home services | Typical density (1.2x) across 826 locations, 675 of them under 10 staff. The count is steady at +6.7% since 2017. Each trade splits into services that map directly onto separate pages. |
| 4. Dental and medical practices | 739 locations, 497 with fewer than 10 staff, at 1.4x the typical county's density. The count has fallen 17.5% since 2017. Each office and each service line is its own page target. |
| 5. Landscaping and cleaning firms | 462 locations (376 under 10 staff), about typical for density at 1.2x. The count is steady at +5.5% since 2017. Their service lists turn directly into pages by service and by town. |
| 6. Insurance and accounting firms | 423 locations (364 under 10 staff), about typical for density at 1.1x. The count has fallen 15.2% since 2017. Each line of coverage or service gives the agency another page to propose. |
| 7. Auto repair shops | Near the county norm (1.0x), with 217 locations and 188 of them small. The count has fallen 11.4% since 2017. Most shops serve a handful of towns, so the page plan stays short and easy to explain. |
The order tilts toward groups with more small locations and denser fields than a typical county; it reflects supply, not demand. How groups are ranked
The top three client types add up to 1,899 locations with fewer than 10 staff in Multnomah County. Law offices lead because of density, not because anyone has proved they will buy, and an agency that already has a client among real estate agents and brokers may sensibly start there.
The buyer categories
The Standard Prospect List, Already Long in Multnomah County
Multnomah County is a market where the standard prospect list writes itself: 3,169 home-service, legal, medical, real estate and auto locations, 40.1 per 10,000 residents, a density that only 11% of counties exceed. For a reseller, more candidates in the right categories means fewer cold conversations about whether SEO is relevant.
The county also carries 4,105 employer locations with fewer than 10 staff, more per resident than 89% of counties. Households are well off too, at $83,290 for the median, above 83% of counties. Where private label SEO in Multnomah County should start follows from that mix: the client types below put law offices and real estate offices first.
The raw picture: 27,434 employer locations (4,105 of them under 10 staff) employing 439,591 people, 789,698 residents and a $83,290 median household income. Population has moved -3.2% since the 2020 Census.
None of this tells you how many owners in Multnomah County want SEO; it tells you how many exist, which is the part Census files can answer.
Fifteen categories
Multnomah County's 27,434 Employer Locations, Category by Category
The seven client types above are built from these fifteen categories. Restaurants and salons are shown too, because many agencies sell to them as well, even though they are not in the score.
| No. | Category | All employer sites | Under 10 staff | Per 10,000 residents (vs. typical) | Net move |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Sit-down restaurants | 1,158 | 566 | 14.7 (2.2x) | -6.6% |
| 2 | Law offices | 779 | 644 | 9.9 (3.4x) | -13.1% |
| 3 | Real estate offices | 608 | 580 | 7.7 (3.1x) | +12.6% |
| 4 | Home remodelers | 459 | 415 | 5.8 (1.9x) | +8.8% |

| 12 | Plumbing and HVAC firms | 172 | 125 | 2.2 (0.7x) | -5% |
| 13 | Accounting firms | 126 | 94 | 1.6 (1.3x) | -22.7% |
| 14 | Electricians | 110 | 74 | 1.4 (0.6x) | -1.8% |
| 15 | Roofers | 85 | 61 | 1.1 (1.9x) | +44.1% |
The table covers fifteen categories in order of how many employer locations Multnomah County has; the bracketed multiple is density against the median county. County Business Patterns (2017, 2022); one-person businesses without staff are not in it. How we count
Restaurants (1,158) lead the count in Multnomah County, with law offices (779) and real estate offices (608) behind. The most crowded categories, against the typical county, are law offices at 3.4x and real estate offices at 3.1x. Electricians are comparatively few (0.6x typical), so each one that signs is competing with fewer neighbors. The fastest-growing category is roofers, up 44.1% since 2017 to 85 locations. Restaurants moved the other way, down 6.6% since 2017.
Where residents live
Multnomah County Place by Place: Who Lives Where
The biggest places in Multnomah 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.
| # | City or town | Residents (2023 est.) | Share of the county |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Portland (part) | 628,047 | 80% |
| 2 | Gresham | 110,685 | 14% |
| 3 | Troutdale | 15,717 | 2% |
| 4 | Fairview | 10,782 | 1% |
| 5 | Wood Village | 4,717 | 1% |
| 6 | Lake Oswego (part) | 2,506 | 0% |
Estimates from the Census Bureau, covering cities, towns and census-designated places. For cities that straddle a boundary, this table lists the Multnomah County side alone.
One place dominates: Portland, with 80% of the county's 789,698 people, among 4 places above 10,000. A page plan here starts there and spreads outward. As a rough illustration, a client that sells six services in each of the 6 places above 2,500 residents would have 36 service-and-town combinations; the startup fee covers the design, development and optimization of up to about 1,000 landing pages per client.

The price schedule
What SEO Fulfillment for Multnomah County Agencies Costs at 2, 5, 10 and 20 Clients
Each client starts with a $1,250 campaign creation fee, and the $300 monthly fee begins only after the client has 100 or more keywords on page 1. Volume brings 10% off at 10 clients and 20% off at 20; the program asks for at least two. Monthly reporting carries your name, an account manager handles onboarding and support, and your clients are yours alone: we stay out of the conversation unless asked.

|---|---|---|---|
| 2 clients | 1 in 1,292 | $2,500 | $600 |

Discounts of 10% and 20% apply to both fees at 10 and 20 clients; minimum two clients.
