Smith County's Opportunity Profile in Numbers
Local Reseller Opportunity Index
72.6/ 100
Places 305 out of 1,822 counties past the 20,000-resident mark, and 190 of the 400 markets on this site. Scores climb with the supply of small employers, SEO-buying categories, towns, income and growth. How the score is built
The Local Reseller Opportunity Index (LROI) puts a 0 to 100 score on a county as a place to resell local SEO: how many small employers there are to approach, how many of them sit in categories that buy SEO, how many towns could carry pages, how much household income is in play, how fast new employers appear and how tightly the buyer categories crowd one another. Smith County scores 72.6, which is well above the middle.
Two traits stand out in Smith County: it is a county where the buyer categories are packed tightly, and it is a county 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.
- Sites with fewer than ten workers, per 1,000 people 3.9 Many: 69th percentile
- Home-service, legal, medical, real estate and auto locations per 10,000 residents 32.2 Deep supply: 76th percentile
- Named places above 2,500 residents 5 Long list of places: 80th percentile
- Median household income (2023 est.) $71,348 Well-off end: 62nd percentile
- How employer locations moved, 2017 to 2022 +6.8% Faster than the field: 71st percentile
- Buyer-category density, average percentile 66 Crowded: 82nd percentile
- Permitted housing units in 2025, per 10,000 residents 22.6 Near the middle: 42nd percentile
- Population change from 2020 +5% Faster than the field: 85th percentile
Each bar is a percentile: the share of the 1,822 counties above 20,000 residents that sit below Smith County on that measure. Data: business counts and staff sizes from County Business Patterns, 2017 and 2022, the 2023 Census population estimates, SAIPE income estimates for 2023, and the Building Permits Survey for new homes.
Where to prospect
Reseller SEO for Smith County Web Designers: Whom to Pitch First
Not every business type is equally likely to want local SEO, and not every county has the same mix. This ranks the seven groups we track by how plentiful their small locations are in Smith County.
| Group, ranked | Reading for this county |
|---|---|
| 1. Law offices | 167 locations, 147 with fewer than 10 staff, at 2.3x the typical county's density. The count is steady at +0.6% since 2017. Choosing a lawyer is a considered decision, so a strong local presence carries weight with prospects. |
| 2. Dental and medical practices | 242 locations, 158 with fewer than 10 staff, at 1.5x the typical county's density. The count has fallen 14.5% since 2017. Practices usually want pages by procedure and by office location. |
| 3. Insurance and accounting firms | 168 locations, 148 with fewer than 10 staff, at 1.4x the typical county's density. The count is steady at -7.2% since 2017. An insurance or accounting office often serves a whole region from one address. |
| 4. Home services | Near the county norm (1.1x), with 233 locations and 181 of them small. The count is up 37.9% since 2017. Each trade splits into services that map directly onto separate pages. |
| 5. Landscaping and cleaning firms | Typical density (1.2x) across 141 locations, 112 of them under 10 staff. The count is steady at +2.2% since 2017. Their service lists turn directly into pages by service and by town. |
| 6. Real estate offices | 87 locations, 83 with fewer than 10 staff, at 1.4x the typical county's density. The count is up 42.6% since 2017. Neighborhood and town coverage is what these offices most often ask about. |
| 7. Auto repair shops | Typical density (0.9x) across 60 locations, 48 of them under 10 staff. The count is up 25% since 2017. Most shops serve a handful of towns, so the page plan stays short and easy to explain. |
Ranks come from counts and density in public data and say nothing about how many owners want SEO. Method
Put differently, 453 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.
Town coverage
5 Towns, One Service Area
With 5 places above 2,500 residents, Smith County gives an agency an unusual amount of local surface area, ahead of 80% of counties. The largest, Tyler, holds only 45% of the county's people, so winning Tyler alone would leave most of the market untouched.
The nine buyer categories are also densely packed (average 66th percentile). The classic SEO buyers are plentiful too: 789 locations, or 32.2 per 10,000 residents. What does that change for private label SEO in Smith County? In the ranking further down, law offices and dental and medical practices come out on top.
Smith County has 245,209 residents, a median household income of $71,348 and 6,220 employer locations. About 75 in 100 of those locations have fewer than 10 employees, which is the size an agency most often signs.
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.

The multiple in brackets divides Smith County's density by the median county's, so 1.0x means level with it. Source: County Business Patterns, 2017 and 2022, which omits businesses with no employees. How we count
The three largest categories by locations are law offices (167), physician practices (149) and restaurants (148). Density is highest in law offices (2.4x typical) and physician practices (1.5x typical), where owners can see the most neighbors. The thinnest of the sizable categories is restaurants, at 0.9x the typical county. Electricians grew fastest, +44.4% since 2017. The count of physician practices has shrunk 22% since 2017.
Town by town
Smith County's Largest Places and Their Share of the County
The biggest places in Smith 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.
| # | Community | Residents (2023 est.) | Portion of the county |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Tyler | 110,327 | 45% |
| 2 | Whitehouse | 9,571 | 4% |

| 4 | Bullard (part) | 4,525 | 2% |
| 5 | Hideaway | 3,349 | 1% |
| 6 | Troup (part) | 2,053 | 1% |
Estimates from the Census Bureau, covering cities, towns and census-designated places. For cities that straddle a boundary, this table lists the Smith County side alone.
One place dominates: Tyler, with 45% of the county's 245,209 people. A page plan here starts there and spreads outward. As a rough illustration, a client that sells six services in each of the 5 places above 2,500 residents would have 30 service-and-town combinations; the startup fee covers the design, development and optimization of up to about 1,000 landing pages per client.

What it costs you
The Fee Schedule Behind Smith County 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. Reports are white-labeled with your brand, a dedicated account manager supports you, and we do not contact your client unless you ask.
| Roster size | Slice of the small buyer pool | Startup fees, with discount | Monthly fees at 100+ keywords on page 1 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 clients | 1 in 309 | $2,500 | $600 |
| 5 clients | 1 in 123 | $6,250 | $1,500 |
| 10 clients (10% off) | 1 in 62 | $11,250 | $2,700 |
| 20 clients (20% off) | 1 in 31 | $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
For scale: Smith County has 617 locations with fewer than 10 staff in the SEO-buying categories. Ten clients would be about one in every 62 of them, and twenty about one in 31.
