Reading the data
A Writing Plan Built Around Pima County's Numbers
Pima County is 5 towns, not one. 5 places have 2,500 or more residents, ahead of 80% of counties, and 4 of them top 10,000. A local question usually names a town, so each town is a page waiting to be written, starting with Tucson (547,239 residents) and Marana (58,430).
Small teams are common, 70.9% under five employees, above 77% of counties. Research-heavy businesses are dense here, 28.5 per 10,000 residents, ahead of 78% of counties. Between them, those details set the shape of the work. Start with Tucson, then Marana and Oro Valley, and work down the list.
Pima County has 1,063,162 residents, 44th among 3,143 counties. 21,083 employer locations, 198.3 for every 1,000 people, supply 331,786 jobs, and household income at the median is $69,553. 35% of residents (368,305) live outside every named place, so some of what they look for will carry no town name at all.

Pima County Permits Peaked in 2021: What Cooler Building Means for Content
Bars count housing units authorized by permit each year. Source: Census Building Permits Survey, and a year-to-date comparison. A permit is intent, not a finished home.

Among trades tied to housing, real estate agents and brokers are the densest here at 2.7x the typical county. Each new household has to choose among them, and plain explanations of how to read a market report, what inspections turn up and how offers and counteroffers work are what that household is looking for.

Counting the work
A Year of Writing Set Against Pima County's Town List
Assume a Pima County business sells three services and wants each one on its own page in every one of the 5 places above 2,500 residents: that grid is 15 pages. How fast each plan builds the grid is below.
| Plan level | Fee | RankGuarantee™ pages a month | Months to build the town grid | Content Assets in 12 months |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Silver | $1,495 | 25 | 0.6 months | 48 (9.6 per place) |
| Gold | $2,495 | 50 | 0.3 months | 96 (19.2 per place) |
| Platinum | $3,495 | 100 | 0.2 months | 144 (28.8 per place) |
Three services per large place is an assumption. Plan volumes match the pricing page.
Treat the grid as a sizing exercise; months measure build time only. Assets are separate.
