Strategy
What does the data mean for a Delaware business?
Four findings stand out in the Delaware figures.
- One market leads: Wilmington
- Wilmington holds 59% of tracked searches, more than the other 3 cities combined. A statewide plan starts there and adds the smaller cities one at a time.
- Most expensive legal click: Middletown
- One click on a personal injury lawyer search costs about $61 in Middletown, against $49 in Wilmington. Ad budgets should be set city by city, not for the state as a whole.
- Easiest city to rank in: Dover
- Average ranking difficulty across its searches is 21 out of 100, the lowest of the 3 cities with enough data to compare. Wilmington is the hardest at 36.
- Most searched service: plumber
- Across the 4 cities, plumber searches total 1,050 a month, ahead of personal injury lawyer at 1,030 and dentist at 930.
Services
Which services fit a business that covers Delaware?
A business that serves more than one Delaware city needs each location to rank on its own without competing with the others.
- Local SEO. One page and one Google Business Profile for each city the business really serves, starting with Wilmington.
- Franchise and multi-location SEO. A shared structure for branches in several Delaware cities, so that two locations never target the same search.
- Google Ads. Separate campaigns and budgets by city, because the same legal click costs $61 in Middletown and $49 in Wilmington.
- SEO for statewide and online businesses. For companies that sell across Delaware without a local service area, planned from a topical map of what they sell, not from city names.

Delaware has three counties and one metro of any size, Wilmington, which is part of the Philadelphia market. Businesses in the north compete with Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Maryland providers, and the beach towns in Sussex County have seasonal demand. Wilmington, Middletown and Dover share their names with cities in other states, so their figures include some searches meant for those places.
