1. Start with the right Nantucket footprint
The Census record identifies Nantucket as a census-designated place in Nantucket County, Massachusetts. Bosseo’s public programmatic SEO page describes two geographic approaches: statewide coverage or a tighter footprint based on selected counties. Those are materially different decisions. A firm that serves only Nantucket County should not treat the Massachusetts population, the county relationship, and the Nantucket CDP estimate as interchangeable. The 10,017 estimate describes the CDP and does not demonstrate that residents are searching for a particular legal service or that people elsewhere in the county are part of the same audience.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to evaluate Nantucket County as a county-level scope and to explain whether any broader Massachusetts coverage would match the firm’s actual service area. Keep a separate record of the locations the firm accepts matters from, the locations it merely advertises in, and the locations it does not serve. Do not expand the footprint solely because a larger map appears more comprehensive.
