How Hays County Scores on Five Measures
Local Ad Reseller Index
68.6/ 100
Rank 419 of the 1,822 counties with a population of 20,000 or higher, and 264 among the 400 markets covered here. A higher score means a deeper, larger-firm, faster-growing advertiser pool to resell into. Weights and sources
Think of the Local Ad Reseller Index (LARI) as a size-up of the prospect list. A county scores higher when it has more advertisers per resident, more of them with 10 or more staff, a pool that keeps growing, richer households and more towns. Hays County lands at 68.6, which is stronger than most.
Past the headline score, Hays County comes across as quick to add new advertisers and under heavy construction. Each measure below is set against every county that has at least 20,000 people.
- Advertiser density, locations per 1,000 residents 2.7 Around the middle (56th percentile)
- Pool locations employing ten or more, per 10,000 residents 3.5 Around the middle (60th percentile)
- Larger-firm share of the advertiser pool 12.9% Bigger slice (61st percentile)
- Gain or loss in paid-search locations, 2017 to 2022 +54% Ahead of most (99th percentile)
- Income of the median household (Census, 2023) $88,491 Well above middle (87th percentile)
- Towns and cities above 2,500 people 5 Many towns (80th percentile)
- Residential permits per 10,000 residents, 2025 153.7 Heavy building (99th percentile)
Each bar marks where Hays County stands in a field of 1,822 counties that clear 20,000 people, as the share of that field with a lower value. "Paid-search locations" are the employer locations in nine categories: four trades, law offices, dentists, physicians, auto repair and real estate. Data: County Business Patterns for 2017 and 2022, 2023 Census estimates and 2023 SAIPE income, plus the Building Permits Survey.
What households earn
An Affluent Customer Base in Hays County
Hays County is a high-income county ($88,491 median household income, ahead of 87% of the country). Where households earn that much, one booked job or one new patient pays for a lot of ad spend, a fact worth putting at the center of your pitch.
New advertisers keep arriving: 494 locations in 2017, 761 in 2022. Builders pulled 153.7 permits per 10,000 residents in 2025, a high rate. The largest single group is real estate offices (152 locations), followed by physician practices (123) and plumbing and HVAC firms (100).
For scale: 5,656 employer locations serve 280,486 residents (255th of 3,143 counties), and the median household income is $88,491. Roughly 13% of those locations fall in our nine paid-search categories.
40% of residents in Hays County (112,738 people) live beyond named places, so a client serving them should expect campaigns that target a radius.
When you compare a white label PPC provider for Hays County marketing agencies, look at what lands in your clients' hands. Reports go out under your brand, and GetPhound does not contact your client unless you ask it to, which matters most with the 98 larger advertisers here that are likely to want a closer look.

| Category | Count | Larger sites (10+) | Multiple of the median county | Change since 2017 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Real estate offices | 152 | 0 | 2.2x | +105.4% |

| Roofers | 24 | 0 | 1.5x | +140% |
The nine categories we treat as likely paid-search buyers, largest first. A multiple of 1.0x equals the median county's locations per 10,000 residents. Source: County Business Patterns, 2017 and 2022, which omits businesses without employees. About the categories
- Biggest group: Real estate offices, with 152 of the 761 locations.
- Most larger sites: 36 physician practices employ 10 or more people, then 22 dental offices.

Ten and twenty
Sizing a Roster for Hays County White Label PPC
The two discount thresholds are ten clients (10% off all monthly and startup fees) and twenty clients (20% off). Set against Hays County's pool of 761, they work out as follows for white label PPC management for Hays County agencies.
| Accounts | Share of Hays County's advertiser pool | Portion of the larger firms | Discount applied |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 clients (the minimum) | 0.3% | 2.0% | none |
| 5 clients | 0.7% | 5.1% | none |
| 10 clients | 1.3% | 10% | 10% off |
| 20 clients | 2.6% | 20% | 20% off |
Against 761 locations, a roster of twenty would use 2.6% of the list, so the pool will not run dry before your roster does. Among the 98 larger advertisers alone, a ten-client roster covers 10% of them. With 5 towns of that size, a ten-client roster would be about 2.0 clients in each.
Where to prospect
Business Communities Inside Hays County
The largest cities, towns and census-designated places in Hays County, to help you decide where to hold your first conversations as you plan PPC fulfillment for Hays County agencies.
| Place | Residents (2023 est.) | Portion of the county | Cumulative share |
|---|---|---|---|
| San Marcos (part) | 71,568 | 26% | 26% |
| Kyle | 62,548 | 22% | 48% |
| Buda | 16,030 | 6% | 54% |
| Dripping Springs | 8,689 | 3% | 57% |
| Wimberley | 2,881 | 1% | 58% |
| Woodcreek | 1,872 | 1% | 58% |
Figures are Census Bureau estimates; the list mixes incorporated cities and towns with unincorporated census-designated communities, and a city shared with a neighboring county appears only for its Hays County side.
San Marcos leads with 26% of residents, yet 4 other places clear 2,500. A roster built only on San Marcos would leave most of the county untouched.
Building activity
Permits in Hays County Have Slipped From Their 2022 Peak
Each column is a year of units cleared for construction; the last two bars compare January to August 2026 with the same months of 2025. Data: the Census Bureau permit survey.
The high point was 5,528 units in 2022; 2025 closed at 4,312, 22% below it and still 153.7 for every 10,000 residents. This year's eight months so far total 2,954 approvals, set against 2,984 for the same stretch of 2025 (-1%).
The 288 remodeling, roofing, electrical and plumbing and HVAC locations here are the advertisers that notice building trends first; plumbing and HVAC firms lead with 100 locations. Contractors are a natural first group for a reseller to approach, since each booked job is a measurable result for them.

Does the offer reach Facebook and Instagram for Hays County clients?
GetPhound manages Google Ads and Bing (the priced add-on), and Meta campaigns on Facebook and Instagram are available too; ask for the Meta figure when you request the price sheet. Hays County has 73 dental offices and 152 real estate offices, two of the categories that most often pair search ads with social campaigns, though how they spend is up to each client.
How many Hays County businesses could I realistically pitch?
761 employer locations sit in the nine paid-search categories: 288 in the trades (remodeling, roofing, electrical, plumbing and HVAC) and 411 in law, dental, medical and real estate. 98 of them employ 10 or more 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 reseller PPC for Hays County marketing agencies.
Which towns in Hays County should I prospect first?
Start where the businesses are densest: San Marcos, Kyle and Buda are the biggest of the 5 places above 2,500 residents, and together they hold 54% of the county's 280,486 people.
Will GetPhound contact my clients in Hays 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 98 larger advertisers in Hays County, that is a point they tend to care about.
Could one agency fill ten client slots in Hays County?
On the numbers, yes. Ten clients is 1.3% of the 761-location pool and twenty is 2.6%, so neither threshold strains the market. Counting only the 98 larger advertisers, ten clients would be 10%.
