Start with the geography your firm can actually serve
Rock Falls is recorded as a city in Whiteside County. That distinction matters when you define coverage. A page for Rock Falls is not the same thing as a page for every community in Whiteside County, and a county footprint is not the same thing as statewide Illinois coverage. Bosseo’s public product description says firms can choose the whole state or only selected counties. For a firm based in or serving Rock Falls, the first decision is therefore geographic: should the site address Rock Falls alone, the county relationship around it, several Illinois counties, or the state? The population estimate for Rock Falls provides context for the municipality, but it cannot establish demand or justify an automatic page count.
Recommended approach
Bring your service-area rules to the consultation. Identify where the firm accepts matters, where attorneys can appear or advise clients, and which places should be excluded. Ask Bosseo to compare a Whiteside County footprint with any larger Illinois option without treating population as a demand forecast.
