1. Gaines is a geographic starting point, not a demand forecast
The Census record identifies Gaines as a municipal-town in Genesee County, Michigan, with a 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate of 6,644 and a margin of error of 21. Bosseo’s public product description allows a footprint to be scoped to a state or to selected counties. For this decision, the distinction matters: a page aimed at Gaines is not automatically a page for every community in Genesee County, and neither is equivalent to statewide coverage.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to map Gaines, Genesee County and any wider Michigan footprint as separate geographic choices. Approve only locations the firm is prepared to serve, explain and measure.
