LOCAL INSIGHT
Columbus employers are spread across the suburbs
Ohio's 2022 Major Employers Report lists the Ohio State University and Medical Center at 35,656 employees, OhioHealth at 30,488, Nationwide Children's Hospital at 14,027, and Nationwide Mutual Insurance at 13,000, and it places Cardinal Health in Dublin. A large university and several health systems send campus staff, patients, and students to search for services nearby.
One Columbus, the regional development group, describes an 11 county region of 2.3 million people with 150,000 enrolled college students and a cost of living 10% below the national average. Its top employer list shows company headquarters in Dublin, New Albany, and Reynoldsburg, and large operations in Marysville and Pataskala. With work spread across suburbs, customers search by suburb name, and a business in one of them needs pages that say so.
Rankwyre builds websites, online stores, and CRMs for Columbus businesses, then runs the SEO and ads behind them. A contractor working from Dublin out to New Albany, a clinic serving Nationwide Children's families, or an online shop shipping from Reynoldsburg gets pages written for the places its customers name, backed by Google Maps and local listings.
