LARI, the Local Ad Reseller Index, boils public Census measures down to a single 0 to 100 score for a reseller: advertisers per resident, larger advertisers, growth of the advertiser pool, household income and town count. Each is measured against the field of counties with 20,000 people or more. Gaston County lands at 69.5, which is stronger than most.
Past the headline score, Gaston County comes across as under heavy construction and rich in advertisers with 10 or more employees. The bars place each measure within that field of counties.
- Advertiser density, locations per 1,000 residents 2.6 Around the middle (51st percentile)
- Larger advertisers for every 10,000 people 5.2 Thick list (79th percentile)

Each bar marks where Gaston County stands in a field of 1,822 counties that clear 20,000 people, as the share of that field with a lower value. "Advertisers" means employer locations in remodeling, roofing, electrical, plumbing and HVAC, law, dental, medical, auto repair and real estate.

How many clients fit
What Ten and Twenty Clients Mean in Gaston County
The two discount thresholds are ten clients (10% off all monthly and startup fees) and twenty clients (20% off). Set against Gaston County's pool of 609, they work out as follows for white label paid search in Gaston County.

|---|---|---|---|
| 2 clients (the minimum) | 0.3% | 1.6% | none |

What about Gaston County residents who live outside any town?
34% of Gaston County's residents (80,624 people) live outside each named place. For service businesses the answer is typically geography in the campaign setup, a radius around the shop or a service area, and not a town name; ask GetPhound how it will configure that for each client.

Start where the businesses are densest: Gastonia, Mount Holly and Belmont are the biggest of the 10 places above 2,500 residents, and together they hold 50% of the county's 237,242 people.

Sole proprietors without staff are not in the count, so the true list is longer than this, which matters when you start to plan white label PPC in Gaston County.
Will GetPhound contact my clients in Gaston County?
No, not unless you ask it to. You stay the client's contact and report under your own brand, and you can request approval of a campaign before it is published. With 124 larger advertisers in Gaston County, that is a point they tend to care about.
Could one agency fill ten client slots in Gaston County?
Easily: ten clients would use 1.6% of Gaston County's 609 paid-search locations. Counting only the 124 larger advertisers, ten clients would be 8.1%.

How much a client actually spends is for you and the client to decide.
Are new advertisers appearing in Gaston County?
Locations in the nine paid-search categories went from 542 in 2017 to 609 in 2022, a rise of 12.4% against a typical change of +5.1%. Newer firms have not picked an agency yet, which makes them the softest targets for a first conversation.
