After doing a post on the hyper competitive Los Angeles personal injury market, I thought I would look at a exurban market.  So today I look at the 3 counties North of Pittsburgh; Lawrence, Mercer and Butler County.   While certainly not as competitive as a Tier 1, marketing successfully in these areas online comes with its own set of challenges.  One challenge is the prevalence of directories that rank in outlying areas.  While I normally dont include directories in my ARC score, I have added the 9 most prominent legal directories in the ARC scores below.   My client, Dallas Hartman, has a dominant presence in these three counties and also enjoys a top 5 ARC score for Pittsburgh (0.91) .  Again for an explanation of the personal injury ARC score – go here.
