1. Choose a geographic footprint that reflects your practice
Eldridge is recorded as a city in Scott County. That exact relationship matters when you decide whether an Eldridge page belongs in a Scott County footprint, a wider Iowa footprint, or a more limited group of places your firm actually serves. The Census population estimate should not determine that choice. It does not establish search volume, client intent, competition or case demand. Your service area, court and licensing requirements, travel expectations, and existing client patterns are more useful decision inputs.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to compare two clearly defined scopes: Scott County coverage and a broader Iowa footprint. Require the comparison to identify which cities and services would be included, what local information each page would contain, and which measures would show whether the footprint is useful. Do not approve statewide coverage solely because it creates more URLs.
