1. Start with the site and its geographic scope
Merced is a municipality in Merced County, California. The 2020–2024 American Community Survey records an estimated population of 91,953, with a margin of error of 65. That is context for defining the audience and service area; it does not establish search demand, leads, cases or revenue. List the domains, subdomains, practice-area pages and location pages that matter to your Merced service area. Then identify which pages must remain available during a move.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to review your current hosting arrangement against a written inventory. Include the domain registrar, DNS provider, SSL setup, email records, content management system, databases, forms, analytics and any third-party services your site uses. Treat Merced and Merced County as separate geographic labels in that inventory if your site uses both. A location name alone is not a hosting requirement; the question is what the site must reliably serve and protect.
