The Scorecard for Queens
Local Reseller Opportunity Index
74.0/ 100
Ranks 283 out of 1,822 counties past the 20,000-resident mark, and 178 of the 400 markets on this site. A higher score means more small employers, more buyers, more towns and more income to work with. How the score is built
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. Queens scores 74.0, which is well above the middle.
Past the headline score, Queens turns out to be a borough with an unusually large number of small employers for its population, and also a borough dense with the trades, practices and offices that buy local SEO. Each bar below sets one measure against every county of 20,000 or more residents.
- Small employers (payroll under ten) for every 1,000 residents 4.6 Plentiful: 83rd percentile
- Home-service, legal, medical, real estate and auto locations per 10,000 residents 35 Plentiful: 82nd percentile
- Typical household income (2023 est.) $81,399 High side: 80th percentile
- Employer-location change from 2017 to 2022 +1.1% Behind the field: 38th percentile
- How packed the nine buyer categories are (average percentile) 66 Heavy rivalry: 81st percentile
- Homes permitted in 2025 per 10,000 residents 15.1 Quiet builders: 29th percentile
- Headcount movement since the 2020 count -6.4% Moving slower than most: 1st percentile
The percentile bars compare Queens with each of the 1,822 counties above the 20,000-resident cutoff. Inputs: County Business Patterns (2017 and 2022) for employer locations and staff-size bands, Census population estimates (2023), SAIPE income estimates for 2023, and the Building Permits Survey for new homes.
Where to prospect
Queens White Label SEO: Whom to Pitch First
We sort Queens'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 | Reading for this county |
|---|---|
| 1. Home services | 3,158 of the 3,692 locations here are under 10 staff, and density runs 1.8x the typical county. The count is up 12.7% since 2017. Their customers tend to search by service and by town, which is how a landing page plan is laid out. |
| 2. Dental and medical practices | 2,379 locations, 1,942 with fewer than 10 staff, at 1.6x the typical county's density. The count is steady at -7.9% since 2017. Patients check local practices before they book, so listings and pages are an easy talking point. |
| 3. Law offices | Near the county norm (1.1x), with 744 locations and 686 of them small. The count is steady at -0.9% since 2017. Choosing a lawyer is a considered decision, so a strong local presence carries weight with prospects. |
| 4. Real estate offices | 583 locations (572 under 10 staff), about typical for density at 1.0x. The count is steady at +7.6% since 2017. Offices sell on local knowledge, which suits pages written for each community. |
| 5. Insurance and accounting firms | Fewer than in most counties (0.7x typical), 702 locations in all and 667 small ones. The count is steady at +5.2% since 2017. An insurance or accounting office often serves a whole region from one address. |
| 6. Auto repair shops | 494 locations (467 under 10 staff), about typical for density at 0.8x. The count is steady at -4.3% since 2017. Repair services (brakes, tires, inspections) become distinct pages. |
| 7. Landscaping and cleaning firms | Sparse at 0.5x the typical county: 489 locations, 425 under 10 staff. The count is up 8.7% since 2017. These are service-area firms that sell by season and by neighborhood. |
Groups combine the Census categories listed on the methodology page; ranking weighs the count of locations under 10 staff and density against the median county. It is a prospecting order, not a forecast of who will buy. Method
Put differently, 5,786 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.
Household budgets
Affluent Clients, Room for Premium Pricing
Median household income in Queens is $81,399, higher than 80% of counties. Residents with that kind of budget tend to compare providers before they call, and local business owners there tend to have budgets of their own, which leaves more room for an agency to set a retail SEO price it is happy with.
The county also carries 10,360 employer locations with fewer than 10 staff, more per resident than 83% of counties. It also has 7,892 locations in the SEO-buying categories (35 per 10,000 residents), a density beyond 82% of counties. For reseller SEO for Queens web designers, the practical effect is a prospecting order: home-service firms ahead of dental and medical practices and the other five groups behind them.
2,252,196 people live in Queens, which is number 13 among 3,143 U.S. counties, and 50,822 employer locations there provide 579,883 jobs. 86% of those locations have fewer than 10 staff. The median household takes in $81,399.
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.
Every category we count
Fifteen Kinds of Business in Queens
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.
| Rank | Business type | Locations | With fewer than 10 employees | Per 10k, with multiple | Net move |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Home remodelers | 2,030 | 1,901 | 9.0 (3.0x) | +23.6% |

| 14 | Landscapers | 148 | 138 | 0.7 (0.2x) | +2.8% |
| 15 | Roofers | 44 | 34 | 0.2 (0.3x) | +2.3% |
All fifteen categories in the Census files, ranked by the number of employer locations in Queens. The multiple in brackets divides Queens's density by the median county's, so 1.0x means level with it. County Business Patterns (2017, 2022); one-person businesses without staff are not in it. Method
The three largest categories by locations are home remodelers (2,030), restaurants (1,989) and physician practices (1,410). Density is highest in home remodelers (3.0x typical) and salons (2.7x typical), where owners can see the most neighbors. The thinnest of the sizable categories is landscapers, at 0.2x the typical county. Home remodelers grew fastest, +23.6% since 2017. The count of restaurants has shrunk 4.9% since 2017.

Homes going up
Permits in Queens Peaked in 2023 and Have Eased Since
Each bar is the count of housing units cleared for construction that year. Source: the Census Bureau permit survey, with a January to August comparison for this year. Permits come before construction, and not all become houses.
Permits peaked at 7,931 units in 2023 and landed at 3,395 in 2025, 57% lower, which is still 15.1 per 10,000 residents. January to August shows 5,125 units in 2026 and 1,791 in 2025, a +186.2% change.
Housing-linked categories here include home remodelers at 3.0x typical. Their sales cycle follows construction, which is a useful thing to bring up when pitching them.
What it costs you
The Fee Schedule Behind Queens White Label SEO
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.
| Roster size | Portion of small buyers | Campaign creation total | Recurring fees after the condition is met |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 clients | 1 in 3,413 | $2,500 | $600 |
| 5 clients | 1 in 1,365 | $6,250 | $1,500 |
| 10 clients (10% off) | 1 in 683 | $11,250 | $2,700 |
| 20 clients (20% off) | 1 in 341 | $20,000 | $4,800 |
Per client: $1,250 startup (campaign creation, up to about 1,000 landing pages), then $300 a month once 100 or more of that client's keywords are on page 1 of Google. Discounts of 10% and 20% apply to both fees at 10 and 20 clients; minimum two clients. The share column divides your roster into this county's small buyer-category locations (home services, law, dental and medical, real estate, auto). Ask for terms
Set against Queens's 6,825 small home-service, legal, medical, real estate and auto locations, the volume tiers look like this: ten clients is roughly one in 683, twenty one in 341.

FAQ
Questions From Agencies Weighing SEO Fulfillment for Queens Agencies
Is the county big enough for white label SEO in Queens?
Queens has 50,822 employer locations, 10,360 of them with fewer than 10 staff, and 7,892 in the categories that most often buy local SEO. Its LROI of 74.0 ranks 283 of 1,822 counties with 20,000 or more residents and 178 of 400 on this site. The data counts businesses; it does not say how many want SEO.
Are new employers opening in Queens?
Employer locations went from 50,262 in 2017 to 50,822 in 2022, a rise of 1.1%, slower than 63% of counties. The SEO-buying categories moved +2.9% over the same years. With few openings, the clients are mostly the existing businesses, and keeping them matters most.
What should an agency charge clients in Queens?
That is your decision: our side is $1,250 to start and $300 a month per client once 100 or more of the client's keywords are on page 1. For context, median household income in Queens is $81,399, above 80% of counties, and 86% of employer locations have fewer than 10 staff.
Should an agency in Queens care about new construction?
Queens permitted 3,395 housing units in 2025, 15.1 per 10,000 residents, fewer than 71% of counties. Quiet building leans the roster toward professional offices and repeat-service businesses. Home services in Queens number 3,692 locations.
What does Queens being one borough mean for a client's page plan?
Queens is a single borough-type market with 2,252,196 residents, so a client's pages are organized by service more than by town. That keeps the scope small: even a client with 12 services has 12 page targets, nowhere near the roughly 1,000 pages the startup fee covers.
Which of Queens's business groups looks most promising to a reseller?
On counts and density, home-service firms lead in Queens with 3,158 small locations, followed by dental and medical practices (1,942) and law offices (686). That is a starting order and no more.
Is the 10% volume tier realistic in Queens?
Ten clients is one in about 683 of the 6,825 small locations in Queens's SEO-buying categories, and twenty clients (the 20% tier) one in about 341. Seen as a share of the pool, the tiers do not require a large slice of the market. Discounts apply to both the $1,250 startup and the $300 monthly fee.
