Market snapshot
Pulaski County's Local Search Competition Index and What Sits Behind It
Local Search Competition Index
70.2/ 100
Rank 260 of 1,822 counties with 20,000+ residents and also 114 of the 400 markets we cover. A higher score means more local businesses are competing for the same searches. How the score works
We rate 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) compete for its residents. Pulaski County scores 70.2, which is more contested than most.
Two features set Pulaski County apart: it is a county with unusually many local-search businesses for its size, and it is also a county where new home permits are slowing this year. Below, eight measures set it beside every other county.
- Change in population since 2020 +0.2% Less growth than 59% of counties
- Median income per household (2023 est.) $61,344 Behind than 64% of counties
- Businesses that live on Google and the map, per 10,000 residents 68.9 Heavier than 91% of counties
- How those businesses changed, 2017 to 2022 -2.1% Slower pace than 75% of counties
- Share of them that employ fewer than 5 people 60.5% Bigger share than 64% of counties
- Change in employer locations, all industries, 2017 to 2022 -0.1% Behind on growth than 70% of counties
- Cities and towns of 2,500+ residents 5 More communities than 80% of counties
- New-home permits in 2025, per 10,000 people 42.5 More new homes than 67% of counties
Each bar compares Pulaski County against all 1,822 U.S. counties with 20,000 or more residents. Source data: U.S. Census Bureau Population Estimates, County Business Patterns (2017 and 2022), Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates and the Building Permits Survey.

The search picture
Pulaski County Has More Local-Search Businesses Than Most Counties
Local search is contested ground in Pulaski County: 68.9 employer locations per 10,000 residents across the 15 categories we track, denser than 91% of counties. With that many businesses chasing the same map pack and first-page results, a generic website loses; pages that target a specific service in a specific city have a better chance.
Pulaski County has 400,009 residents, which ranks 186th of 3,143 U.S. counties, and its population has changed +0.2% since the 2020 Census. Across all industries it has 12,229 employer locations, 30.6 per 1,000 residents.
The larger places in Pulaski County are Little Rock (203,842), North Little Rock (64,531), Sherwood (33,118), Jacksonville (29,094) and Maumelle (19,452). Each is searched by name, so a business that serves several of them needs a page for each service in each town. That is what a local SEO plan from GetPhound builds.

Crowding = employer locations per 10,000 residents divided by 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), which says nothing about search volume. See the method
The law offices category is the most contested in Pulaski County: 437 locations, 3.8x the density of a typical county, and up 1.2% since 2017. Physicians offices (460 locations, 2.9x) and accounting and CPA firms (104 locations, 2.1x) also run above a normal county. The residential remodelers category is the least contested here at 0.7x typical (90 locations), so there are fewer rival pages for those searches.
Real estate agents and brokers grew fastest, up 21.3% since 2017 to 199 locations, so new rivals keep arriving there. Accounting and CPA firms went the other way, down 18.1% to 104 locations. The tiniest competitors are in real estate agents and brokers: 181 of 199 locations (91%) have fewer than five employees.
Keep this in mind: the table counts businesses, not searches. We do not have, and do not claim, search volumes or traffic for any keyword; a crowded category means more sites in the race, not a prediction of results.

Housing demand
New Homes in Pulaski County: A Steady Pipeline
Units authorized by building permits. Source: U.S. Census Bureau Building Permits Survey (county annual files, and the year-to-date bars compare the same months each year). A permit is an authorization, not a finished home.
Permits in Pulaski County have stayed within a narrow range: 1,702 units in 2025 against 1,928 in 2021, or 42.5 per 10,000 residents, more than in 67% of counties. For January through August, permits are running at 838 against 1,279 a year earlier (−34.5%).
The construction-linked categories already most contested in Pulaski County are insurance agencies and brokerages (2.1x typical) and real estate agents and brokers (2.0x typical). Since rankings build slowly, rising permits are a reason to start today, and a fall is a reason to put more weight on repair, replacement and service-specific pages.

In Pulaski County, law offices is especially contested (3.8x a typical county), so expect that category to take longer. We work in six-month planning cycles, with no contract, and report each month.

More than most. Pulaski County scores 70.2 on our Local Search Competition Index, ranking 260th of 1,822 counties with 20,000+ residents and 114th of the 400 markets we cover. Law offices, at 3.8 times the typical county. Fewer than five employees work at 60.5% of local-search locations, which commonly means thin websites to outrank.

Measured against a typical county, the most contested are law offices (3.8x) and physicians offices (2.9x).

Which cities in Pulaski County would you build pages for?
The ones you serve. Pulaski County has 5 places of 2,500 or more residents, led by Little Rock, North Little Rock, Sherwood, Jacksonville and Maumelle. 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?
Absolutely. Every Organic Growth plan includes Google Business Profile optimization, citations and review management, together with on-page and technical SEO, strategic content and AI search (GEO) work. Maps rankings carry the most weight for "near me" searches, and much of what people search for in Pulaski County depends on them.
Can SEO get my business mentioned by ChatGPT and Google's AI?
It may. Our plans include AI search (GEO) optimization: clear, well-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 work behind rankings is also the content those tools draw from.
Should I do SEO or Google Ads in Pulaski County?
Often both. Ads can send calls within days and charge per click; SEO takes longer but keeps working with no per-click charge. When you need leads right away, begin with ads (we manage Google Ads, Bing and Meta too) and use SEO to build the asset that lowers your dependence on them.
Do you require a contract, and what does the monthly fee cover?
You can cancel anytime and there is no setup fee. Your monthly plan includes the keyword research, website audit and six-month strategy up front, then the pages and content in your tier, rank tracking, and an account manager who knows your Pulaski County business.
