Volume, in numbers
Counting Pages: The Pitt County Town Grid
Say a Pitt County business offers three services and wants each one on its own page in all 4 places above 2,500 residents: a grid of 12 pages. Each plan's build time for that grid is in the table.
| Plan | Per month | Local pages per month | Months to build the town grid | Content Assets in 12 months |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Silver | $1,495 | 25 | 0.5 months | 48 (12.0 per place) |
| Gold | $2,495 | 50 | 0.2 months | 96 (24.0 per place) |
| Platinum | $3,495 | 100 | 0.1 months | 144 (36.0 per place) |
Example only: three services in each place above 2,500 residents (one area if there are fewer than two). Plan volumes match the pricing page.
Treat the grid as a sizing exercise; months measure build time only. The last column counts assets, which are written one at a time.

Counting the Competition for Readers in Pitt County
477 employer locations ordered by density compared with a typical county. The last column counts teams under five employees, the ones with the least time to spare.
Bar length is locations per 10,000 residents as a multiple of the median county, with the tick at 1.0x. County Business Patterns data, 2017 to 2022, a count of businesses, nothing more. How we count
Real estate agents and brokers are the most numerous per resident in Pitt County: 97 locations, 2.2 times the typical county's density, up 76.4% since 2017. People choosing among them are trying to learn how to read a market report, what listing agents do and what a given price range buys. It grew faster than any other category too. Law offices follow at 1.5x the typical county.
Only physicians offices and law offices shrank. Small teams are most common among real estate agents and brokers: 90 of 97 locations have fewer than five employees. Across all seven categories it is 310 of 477.
This table counts businesses, not blogs, traffic or readers, and it predicts nothing.
