1. Set the geographic boundary before discussing budget
Wyandotte is recorded as a municipality in Wayne County. The Census population estimate applies to Wyandotte city, not automatically to every community your firm may serve and not to the county as a whole. That distinction matters for Local Service Ads because a service area is a business decision, not a population calculation. You need to identify whether your firm accepts matters in Wyandotte only, elsewhere in Wayne County, or in additional areas. You also need to decide whether location eligibility differs by practice area. A firm may welcome one type of matter from a wider area while limiting another to places its attorneys can serve effectively.
Recommended approach
Bring a written service-area policy to the consultation. Ask Bosseo to review how your intended locations would be represented in the LSA profile and whether the proposed geography matches your licensure, court coverage, staffing and intake capacity. Do not use Wyandotte’s population estimate as a forecast of inquiries. Use the consultation to define the locations you can responsibly advertise and the geographic questions that should be tracked when calls arrive.
