How Contested Is Local Search in Camden County?
Local Search Competition Index
58.8/ 100
Rank 566 of 1,822 counties with 20,000+ residents and 245 of the 400 markets we cover. More local businesses chasing the same searches pushes the score up. See the method
We score every U.S. county-equivalent with 20,000 or more residents on how many local-search businesses (the lawyers, dentists, contractors, restaurants, salons and agents that customers find on Google and the map) are chasing the same residents. Camden County scores 58.8, which is close to the middle of the pack.
Two features set Camden County apart: it is a county with many sizeable cities and towns, and it is also a county where local-search businesses have stopped growing. Eight measures below show where it stands among all counties.
- Population movement since 2020 +0.7% Growing slower than 53% of counties
- Median household earnings (2023 est.) $82,678 Greater than 83% of counties
- Local-search business locations per 10,000 people 49.9 Busier than 65% of counties
- Change in those businesses, 2017 to 2022 -5.2% Slower pace than 84% of counties
- Share of them with fewer than 5 employees 55.4% Slimmer share than 67% of counties
- Change in employer locations, all industries, 2017 to 2022 +0.5% A slower pace than 67% of counties
- Communities with 2,500 or more people 21 More places than 98% of counties
- New homes permitted per 10,000 residents (2025) 17.3 Less building than 67% of counties
Every bar compares Camden County alongside all 1,822 U.S. counties with 20,000 or more residents. Sources: Census Bureau population estimates, County Business Patterns (2017 and 2022), Census income estimates and the Building Permits Survey.
The search picture
Camden County Is Many Search Markets, Not One
Camden County has 21 places with 2,500 or more residents, 7 of them above 10,000, more than 98% of counties. Each is its own search market: people look for a plumber in Camden or in the next town over, not in the county. Local SEO means giving each of those cities its own page for each service you offer, which is what RankGuarantee™ is built to produce.
Camden County has 527,196 residents, which ranks 138th of 3,143 U.S. counties, with population change of +0.7% since the 2020 Census. Across all industries it has 11,572 employer locations, 22.0 per 1,000 residents.
54% of residents (283,932 people) live outside any incorporated place, so county-level and "near me" searches matter as much as city names.
Your competition
Who You Would Be Ranking Against in Camden County
Each local-search category's employer locations are divided by population and compared with the median county. A reading of 2.0x means two times the businesses per resident a typical county has.
Business typeBusiness locationsDensity vs. a typical countyChange 2017 to 2022Locations with under 5 employees
Law officesBusiest 370 -14.4% 223

Roofing contractors 24 +41.2% 18
Insurance agencies and brokerages 143 -14.4% 99
Real estate agents and brokersQuickest growth 89 +21.9% 72
Crowding compares employer locations per 10,000 residents with the median U.S. county of 20,000+ residents (1.0x is typical; the dark tick marks it). The counts are establishments in County Business Patterns (2017, 2022), not a measure of search volume. Method
The law offices category is the most contested in Camden County: 370 locations, 2.4x the density of a typical county, and down 14.4% since 2017. Beauty salons (170 locations, 2.0x) and physicians offices (332 locations, 1.6x) also run above a normal county. The real estate agents and brokers category is the least contested here at 0.7x typical (89 locations), so there are fewer rival pages for those searches.
Real estate agents and brokers grew fastest, up 21.9% since 2017 to 89 locations, so new rivals keep arriving there. Law offices went the other way, down 14.4% to 370 locations. The tiniest competitors are in real estate agents and brokers: 72 of 89 locations (81%) have fewer than five employees.
These figures describe the competition, not the demand. How many people search for a service and how quickly a page can rank depend on factors public data does not show, so a crowded category calls for planning and a quiet one is an opening.
New construction
Camden County Housing Permits Since 2022: Down From the High, Still Slowing This Year
New homes authorized by building permits. Data: U.S. Census Bureau Building Permits Survey (annual county files, with the year-to-date bars covering the same months in each year). A permit is an authorization, not a finished home.
Camden County authorized 1,134 housing units in 2022 and 912 in 2025, about 20% fewer; 2025 still works out to 17.3 units per 10,000 residents, less than in 67% of counties. For January through August, permits are running at 558 against 624 a year earlier (−10.6%).
The construction-linked categories already most contested in Camden County are residential remodelers (1.1x typical) and plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors (1.1x typical). Rankings take time, so a rise in permits is a reason to begin now, and a fall is a reason to put more weight on repair, replacement and service-specific pages.

The speed of the climb depends on how contested your category is, how strong your website and Google Business Profile are, and how much we can build. In Camden County, law offices is particularly contested (2.4x a typical county), so expect that category to take longer. Our planning cycles run six months with no contract, and you get a report each month.
Is Camden County a competitive market for SEO?
Density is highest in
About average. Camden County scores 58.8 on our Local Search Competition Index, ranking 566th of 1,822 counties with 20,000+ residents and 245th of the 400 markets we cover. Law offices, at 2.4 times the typical county. 55.4% of local-search locations are tiny, with fewer than five employees, and tiny shops frequently have thin websites to outrank. That is a reason to start early: steady SEO tends to keep its position where fewer rivals are building.
Which local businesses compete for search in Camden County?
Across the fifteen categories we track, the largest by employer locations in Camden County are law offices (370), physicians offices (332) and full-service restaurants (307). Measured against a typical county, the most contested are law offices (2.4x) and beauty salons (2.0x). A large or crowded category does not settle whether SEO will work for you; it only shows how many other sites you would share the results with.
Which cities in Camden County would you build pages for?
Whichever you serve. Camden County has 21 places of 2,500 or more residents, led by Camden, Lindenwold, Collingswood, Haddonfield and Bellmawr. RankGuarantee™ builds local landing pages for each service in each city you serve (25 new pages a month on the $495 plan, 25 to 100 on Organic Growth), so the plan follows your service area, not the county line.
Do you do local SEO and Google Maps optimization?
We do. Each Organic Growth plan covers Google Business Profile optimization, citations and review management, along with on-page and technical SEO, strategic content and AI search (GEO) work. Map results matter most for searches like "near me", and much of what people search for in Camden County depends on them.
Will SEO help my business appear in AI answers like ChatGPT and Google's AI Overviews?
It can. We include AI search (GEO) optimization in our plans: clean, structured pages and consistent business information give AI tools more to draw on. Nobody can guarantee an AI mention, and we do not promise one, but the same work that earns rankings builds the content those tools use.
SEO or Google Ads: which is right for a Camden County business?
Frequently both. Ads can send calls within days and charge per click; SEO builds more slowly and then works without paying per click. If leads cannot wait, start with ads (we manage Google Ads, Bing and Meta too) and use SEO to build the asset that lowers your dependence on them.
Is there a contract, and what is in the monthly fee?
There is no setup fee, and you can cancel anytime. Your monthly plan includes the keyword research, website audit and six-month strategy to begin with, then the pages and content in your tier, rank tracking, and one account manager who knows your Camden County business.
