1. Start with the geography you can actually serve
Lely Resort is a census-designated place in Collier County, Florida. The 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate for the Lely Resort CDP is 8,582, with a margin of error of 1,017. That is geographic and population context—not proof of search demand, legal need, lead volume or advertising competition. The important business question is whether your firm wants to receive matters from Lely Resort specifically, from other parts of Collier County, or from a broader service area that Google permits for the selected category.
Recommended approach
Map the locations your attorneys are prepared to serve against your desired LSA service area. Compare a Lely Resort focus with county-level coverage, but do not assume Google will approve either configuration. Keep the geographic decision tied to court, consultation, travel and intake capacity rather than treating the census boundary as a marketing boundary.
