1. Start with the geographic footprint, not a page count
Bosseo describes a choice between statewide coverage and a narrower footprint limited to selected counties. For a firm evaluating Caribou, the relevant geographic relationship is direct: Caribou is in Aroostook County. That makes a county-level discussion more useful than treating Caribou as a stand-alone market or assuming that every nearby community should be included. A firm may serve Caribou, other communities in Aroostook County, or a broader Maine footprint; the correct scope depends on the places the firm actually accepts matters and can accurately describe in its content.
Recommended approach
Before booking, list the municipalities and counties where the firm genuinely serves clients. Decide whether the consultation should examine Aroostook County alone, a broader Maine footprint, or a statewide option. Do not use Caribou’s population estimate to predict demand or justify statewide coverage.
