1. Set the geographic boundary before judging review performance
Comstock and Kalamazoo County are not interchangeable markets. The Census record identifies Comstock charter township as a municipal-town in Kalamazoo County, Michigan, and reports an estimated population of 15,256 for 2020–2024. That figure cannot tell you how many people search for a lawyer, where prospective clients travel from, which firms they compare or whether a review campaign will produce a particular result. It can, however, help you state the location accurately when reviewing your profile and service coverage. Decide whether your firm serves Comstock alone, additional communities in Kalamazoo County or a broader Michigan area. Then examine whether your public profile and review language reflect that actual scope rather than implying an unsupported market position.
Recommended approach
Use Comstock as a precise service-area reference, and keep county-wide or metropolitan claims separate. During a consultation, compare your stated coverage with your Google Business Profile, website contact information and intake questions. Do not treat population as a forecast.
