1. Define the footprint: Dixon first, Lee County by design
The Census records Dixon as a municipality in Lee County, Illinois. Bosseo’s public product page says firms can choose statewide coverage or limit the footprint to selected counties. For a Dixon firm, that creates a concrete scope question: should the site address Dixon alone, cities throughout Lee County, or a wider Illinois footprint? The population estimate for Dixon does not answer that question. It cannot establish how many people search for a lawyer, how many competing pages exist or how many matters a page could produce.
Recommended approach
Bring a current list of the cities and counties your firm actually serves to the consultation. Ask Bosseo to compare a Dixon-and-Lee-County footprint with any broader area your intake team can handle. Treat geographic coverage as a service decision, not a population-based demand forecast.
