1. Define Homewood and the counties you actually serve
Homewood is recorded as a municipality in Cook County, Illinois. That exact relationship matters because a city page and a county-scoped plan answer different questions. A Homewood page can address a person searching for a service in Homewood. A Cook County footprint can include additional cities within the county, subject to the scope the firm selects. The Census population estimate identifies the municipality; it does not show how many people search for a lawyer, how many firms compete for a query or how many matters a page could produce.
Recommended approach
Begin with a service-area decision, not a page-count target. List the cities and counties where the firm is prepared to represent clients, then compare that list with Bosseo’s statewide or selected-county options. Keep Homewood distinct from Cook County and from the broader Chicago metropolitan area unless the firm has separately decided to serve those geographies.
