1. Start with Auburn’s exact geographic role
Bosseo describes its programmatic SEO footprint as selectable by state or by chosen counties. That makes the first decision geographic: should Auburn be included because your firm genuinely serves people there, or merely because it appears on a map? Auburn’s recorded population estimate is 16,970, but that figure cannot establish how many people search for a lawyer, how many firms compete for those searches, or how many qualified inquiries a page could produce.
Recommended approach
Define whether Auburn belongs in a Worcester County footprint, a wider Massachusetts footprint, or no programmatic footprint yet. Write down the services you actually accept in Auburn and the geographic limits you can explain accurately.
