1. Set the geographic boundary before selecting stories
LaFayette is a municipality in Walker County, Georgia. The 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate for LaFayette city is 6,967, with a margin of error of 23. That figure is eligibility evidence for considering a local page, not evidence of search demand, competition, legal need, lead volume or revenue. It also does not make LaFayette city interchangeable with Walker County, Georgia as a whole, a metropolitan area, a judicial circuit or a court class. Legal News should therefore begin with a written geographic scope. A firm may choose to review stories relevant to LaFayette residents, Walker County matters, statewide Georgia developments or a combination, but each page should make its intended audience clear.
Recommended approach
At consultation, ask Bosseo to review the firm’s actual service area and practice areas before deciding how stories should be filtered. Keep city, county and statewide references distinct in page titles, explanations and measurement. Do not use the LaFayette population estimate as a forecast of demand.
