1. Define the Savoy footprint before choosing page volume
Bosseo’s public product description says a firm can choose the whole state or only selected counties. Because Savoy is in Champaign County, a firm evaluating local coverage should first decide whether Champaign County is the correct boundary for its services. That decision belongs to the firm: a municipality, a county, and a metropolitan area are not interchangeable geographic targets. Savoy’s population estimate does not prove that every legal service deserves a page, and it should not be used as a proxy for demand. A narrower footprint may be more appropriate when the firm accepts matters only in particular courts, communities, or practice areas. A broader footprint may be worth reviewing when the firm genuinely serves clients beyond its immediate area.
Recommended approach
Bring a written service-area policy to the consultation. Mark whether the firm serves Savoy, other Champaign County communities, or additional Illinois counties, then separate locations the firm can legally and practically serve from places included only because they appear on a map.
