1. Start with Woodbury’s actual geographic relationship
Woodbury is a city in Washington County, not a synonym for the entire county or the Minneapolis–Saint Paul metropolitan area. Those geographic levels should remain separate when you decide where service pages belong. If your firm serves Woodbury only, a city-focused review may be more appropriate than a countywide footprint. If you serve multiple communities in Washington County, the review can compare the cities you intentionally serve rather than treating every nearby place as interchangeable. Bosseo’s public product text says the footprint can be statewide or limited to counties selected by the firm.
Recommended approach
Bring a current service area to the consultation. Identify whether Woodbury is an office location, a service location, or one community among several. Then decide whether Washington County is the relevant boundary. Do not use the city’s population as a proxy for demand; use it only as geographic context when defining the market you want to examine.
