1. Choose the geographic footprint before choosing page volume
The relevant local relationship is specific: International Falls is a city in Koochiching County, Minnesota. Bosseo’s public product description says a firm can choose statewide coverage or limit the footprint to counties it selects. For a firm evaluating International Falls, that makes the first question geographic rather than numerical: should the website address only International Falls, the rest of Koochiching County, or a broader Minnesota service area? The Census population estimate identifies the municipality, but it cannot tell you how many people search for a particular legal service or how many would contact your firm.
Recommended approach
List the cities and counties your firm actually serves, separate from places where it merely wants visibility. Ask Bosseo to show how the proposed footprint maps to your practice areas and service boundaries. Do not expand coverage simply because a place has a recorded population; expand when the firm can provide accurate service information and handle inquiries from that area.
