1. Set a Muncie footprint without confusing population with demand
The Census records Muncie city as a municipality in Delaware County. That relationship matters when you define a geographic footprint: Muncie and Delaware County are not interchangeable labels, and neither should be treated as a proxy for every community your firm serves. Bosseo’s public Programmatic SEO page says firms may choose a statewide footprint or limit coverage to selected counties. For your firm, that creates a concrete scope decision: start with Muncie, cover Delaware County, select additional counties, or evaluate a broader Indiana plan. The population estimate can help identify the place being discussed, but it cannot tell you how many people search for a legal service or whether a page will produce an inquiry.
Recommended approach
Write down the cities and counties your firm actually serves, then compare that list with the footprint Bosseo would review. Ask whether every proposed city-service combination would have distinct, accurate information rather than a changed place name. Treat population as context, not as a forecast.
