1. Choose the footprint before you count pages
Bosseo describes two geographic approaches: a statewide footprint or a tighter footprint limited to counties selected by the firm. Emmett charter township is recorded in Calhoun County, so a county-limited review could begin by asking whether your firm genuinely serves clients throughout Calhoun County, rather than treating Emmett as interchangeable with Michigan or with a metropolitan area. The Census population estimate can identify the place and its scale, but it cannot establish how many people search for a lawyer, how difficult results are to earn, or whether a page will generate a qualified inquiry.
Recommended approach
List the cities and counties where you accept matters, then separate them from places you mention only for geographic context. Ask Bosseo to model the page footprint around that service area. A statewide option should be a deliberate business decision, not an automatic conclusion from the size of Michigan or from Emmett’s population.
