Where Local Search Is Most Contested: The Local Search Competition Index
Each county gets a 0 to 100 score for how many local-search businesses (lawyers, dentists, contractors, restaurants, salons, agents and more) compete for its residents, compared with every U.S. county of 20,000 or more people. It is built only from public Census data, and the method is open.
