A county is not a location as far as Google is concerned.
Almost nobody searches at county level. SEO agency in Buckinghamshire gets about 10 searches a month. Website design manages 210.
So a page built around the county name will never carry a business. Aylesbury, High Wycombe and Amersham are where the searches actually happen. For a local business in Buckinghamshire, the map pack is usually worth more than the whole rest of the results page. It sits above everything, it shows your rating, and it gives people a phone number before they have even seen your website. Most profiles in South East England are half finished.
Ranking across Buckinghamshire means a genuine address in a town, properly defined service areas around it, and reviews that mention the places you actually work, not a profile that claims the whole county and ranks in none of it.
Buckinghamshire is a county rather than a town, and that is the important part. Aylesbury, High Wycombe, Amersham, Beaconsfield and Marlow each have their own centre, their own competitors and their own search behaviour. It is affluent commuter territory, with a business base weighted towards small high-value firms and professional services.
Spread thin across several towns rather than concentrated in one. That makes county-wide visibility harder to buy and easier to earn, because the businesses that win are usually the ones that show up properly in each town rather than generically across the county.
