1. Start with the geography your firm can genuinely serve
Gurnee is a village in Lake County, Illinois. Bosseo’s public Programmatic SEO description says a firm can choose statewide coverage or limit the footprint to selected counties. That makes Lake County a concrete scope question for a Gurnee firm: do you want pages for cities throughout the county, or do your attorneys serve a broader Illinois area? The Census population estimate for Gurnee is useful for identifying the municipality, but it cannot establish demand or justify a statewide page set. A page for Gurnee should therefore be considered because Gurnee is within the firm’s service geography, not because its population predicts cases.
Recommended approach
Before a consultation, list the Illinois counties and municipalities where the firm accepts matters. Compare that list with the county-only and statewide options Bosseo describes. Exclude places the firm does not serve, and do not use the Gurnee population estimate as a substitute for a demand study.
