1. Set the geographic decision around Chino Valley—not a population guess
Chino Valley town is recorded in Yavapai County. That relationship matters when you review the locations your firm serves, but it does not mean every Yavapai County search should be included. Chino Valley residents, people elsewhere in the county, and people searching from surrounding areas are different geographic groups. Local Services Ads can be configured around service areas, so the useful question is where your firm is prepared to accept matters and whether those locations match the profile you want to present. The Census population estimate is eligibility evidence only. It cannot tell you how many people search for a lawyer, how many firms compete, or how many inquiries an LSA campaign would produce.
Recommended approach
Begin with a written service-area decision: Chino Valley only, Chino Valley plus selected Yavapai County locations, or another scope your firm can actually serve. Review each location against travel, venue, licensing and intake rules before it enters the advertising plan.
