1. Set the geographic boundary before discussing budget
Pleasant Grove is recorded as a city in Jefferson County, Alabama. That exact relationship matters because a firm may serve Pleasant Grove while also accepting matters elsewhere in the county or in surrounding areas. The city’s population estimate is eligibility context, not proof that enough people search for a lawyer or that an LSA campaign will produce leads. The practical question is which locations your firm is authorized and prepared to serve, and whether those locations match the practice areas you want to grow.
Recommended approach
Bring a written service-area policy to the consultation. Separate Pleasant Grove from Jefferson County and any other locations your firm serves. Decide whether the campaign should cover the city, a wider county relationship, or a narrower area tied to office capacity and case acceptance rules. Review location settings rather than treating the city’s population as a forecast.
