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. Union County, NJ scores 82.6, which is well above the middle.

The pitch list
First Calls for Reseller SEO for Union County, NJ Web Designers: The Client Types to Try
We sort Union County, NJ'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.
| Where to prospect | Reading for this county |
|---|---|
| 1. Dental and medical practices | A crowded field at 1.7x typical: 657 locations, 506 of them small. The count has fallen 11.7% since 2017. Each office and each service line is its own page target. |
| 2. Home services | 633 of the 723 locations here are under 10 staff, and density runs 1.4x the typical county. The count is up 10.9% since 2017. Their customers tend to search by service and by town, which is how a landing page plan is laid out. |
| 3. Landscaping and cleaning firms | 425 locations, 366 with fewer than 10 staff, at 1.5x the typical county's density. The count is up 15.2% since 2017. These are service-area firms that sell by season and by neighborhood. |
| 4. Law offices | 257 of the 303 locations here are under 10 staff, and density runs 1.8x the typical county. The count has fallen 10.6% since 2017. Firms often want a page per practice area for each city they serve. |
| 5. Auto repair shops | 194 locations, 179 with fewer than 10 staff, at 1.3x the typical county's density. The count is steady at +1.6% since 2017. Repair services (brakes, tires, inspections) become distinct pages. |
| 6. Insurance and accounting firms | Typical density (1.0x) across 272 locations, 226 of them under 10 staff. The count has fallen 11.4% since 2017. Each line of coverage or service gives the agency another page to propose. |
| 7. Real estate offices | Typical density (0.8x) across 118 locations, 108 of them under 10 staff. The count is steady at +1.7% since 2017. Offices sell on local knowledge, which suits pages written for each community. |
Ranks come from counts and density in public data and say nothing about how many owners want SEO. Method
The top three client types add up to 1,505 locations with fewer than 10 staff in Union County, NJ. Dental and medical practices lead because of density, not because anyone has proved they will buy, and an agency that already has a client among remodelers, roofers, electricians and plumbing and HVAC firms may sensibly start there.
