1. Define Potomac as a service boundary, not a demand forecast
Potomac is recorded as a census-designated place in Montgomery County, Maryland. The 2020–2024 ACS five-year estimate records 45,902 residents, with a margin of error of 1,782. That figure describes the place and its population estimate; it does not establish legal demand, search volume, competition, lead volume, or revenue. For your firm, the useful question is operational: do you serve clients in Potomac, elsewhere in Montgomery County, or across a wider Maryland footprint?
Recommended approach
Use Potomac as one geographic decision point inside a clearly stated service area. List the cities and counties where the firm accepts matters, then separate locations you actively serve from places you merely want visibility. A smaller, accurate footprint can be easier to review for relevance than a broad set of pages with no meaningful connection to your practice.
